Market Fundamental Analysis for June 1, 2026 USDJPY

Event to pay attention to today:

17:00 EET. USD - ISM Manufacturing Index

USDJPY:

​

USD/JPY is holding near 159.45–159.50, as the US dollar keeps its advantage amid the yield gap and demand for the US currency. The yen remains vulnerable despite expectations of a possible rate hike by the Bank of Japan in June. Investors are waiting for new signals from Governor Kazuo Ueda, but the market does not yet see a sufficiently firm position that could quickly shift the balance in favor of the Japanese currency.

The fundamental background supports the US dollar. Geopolitical tensions and rising oil-related risks increase inflation concerns in the US, which may encourage the Federal Reserve to maintain a stricter position. For Japan, expensive energy is also a problem, but the Bank of Japan is acting cautiously to avoid damaging the economic recovery. Therefore, even expectations of a rate hike do not guarantee a stable strengthening of the yen.

The base scenario for today is growth in USD/JPY. The main risk for buying is the pair’s proximity to the area where Japanese authorities may intensify verbal warnings about the currency market. Nevertheless, there are currently no direct signs of intervention, while the difference in monetary policy expectations remains in favor of the US dollar. Therefore, with the current news background preserved, buying remains preferable.

Trading recommendation: BUY 159.45, SL 159.15, TP 160.35

Weekly Review: XAUUSD, #SP500, #BRENT | June 5, 2026​

XAUUSD: BUY 4518.50, SL 4478.50, TP 4645.50

​

Gold starts the week near $4,518–4,522 per ounce: a stronger dollar and interest rate expectations limit further growth, but the conflict in the Middle East continues to support demand for safe-haven assets. The market is waiting for signals from the Fed and news on US-Iran talks, so sharp price swings remain possible.

On the weekly horizon, the baseline scenario remains moderately positive: tensions around energy supplies increase inflation risks, while central bank demand supports gold on pullbacks. Dollar strength may slow the move, but if the geopolitical backdrop worsens, buyers could push the price back above current levels.

Trading recommendation: BUY 4518.50, SL 4478.50, TP 4645.50

#SP500: BUY 7616, SL 7550, TP 7820

​

The S&P 500 enters June near record highs: the index is trading around 7,580, while the futures price is close to 7,616. The market is supported by strong earnings expectations and demand for companies linked to artificial intelligence. Rising oil prices remain the main limiting factor, as they increase concerns about inflation.

This week, investors will focus on US employment data and Fed comments. If the reports do not show a sharp overheating of the economy, demand for equities may remain stable. However, the high concentration of growth in the technology sector increases the risk of profit-taking, so the buy scenario looks cautious.

Trading recommendation: BUY 7616, SL 7550, TP 7820

#BRENT: BUY 93.20, SL 90.80, TP 100.40

​

Brent starts the week near $93.10–93.30 per barrel after gaining more than 2%. The key driver is tension in the Persian Gulf region and uncertainty around US-Iran negotiations. The market is concerned about possible supply disruptions, which offsets part of the pressure from weaker Chinese oil imports in May.

Over the week, the price may remain supported while Middle East news stays worrying. Growth is limited by expectations of supply recovery if the ceasefire is extended, as well as buyer caution after the May decline. The baseline scenario is moderate growth with high sensitivity to news.

Trading recommendation: BUY 93.20, SL 90.80, TP 100.40
