JP 225 forecast: the index has entered a strong downtrend
The JP 225 stock index began to decline after reaching a new all-time high. The JP 225 forecast for today is positive.
JP 225 forecast: key takeaways
Recent data: Japan’s GDP grew by 0.5% in Q1 2026
Market impact: the effect on the Japanese stock market is moderately positive
Fundamental analysis
Japan’s GDP growth of 0.5% quarter-on-quarter, matching the forecast and accelerating from the previous 0.3%, is generally a moderately positive signal for the JP 225 index. The fact that the economy continues to expand and is showing stronger momentum than in the prior period reduces concerns about a slowdown in domestic demand and supports investor interest in Japanese equities.
For the JP 225 index, this data can provide support, especially if investors interpret the GDP growth as confirmation of Japan’s economic resilience. Improving economic activity is typically favourable for corporate profits, consumer demand, and business investment.

DE 40 forecast: the index heads towards the upper boundary of the sideways channel
The DE 40 stock index continues to trade within a sideways channel with an upward bias. The DE 40 forecast for today is negative.
Brent forecast: key takeaways
Recent data: Germany’s manufacturing PMI for May came in at 50.1
Market impact: Germany’s CPI for May declined by 0.2%
Fundamental analysis
The release of a –0.2% reading, compared to a forecast of –0.2%, could be perceived by the German market as moderately neutral, as the actual figure matched expectations. However, compared to the previous value of 0.6%, the dynamics appear noticeably weaker, suggesting cooling price pressures or slower economic activity, depending on the nature of the indicator.
For the DE 40, the impact may be moderately positive in the short term if investors focus on the possibility of monetary policy easing. In this case, demand could increase for stocks of companies sensitive to borrowing costs and the investment cycle.

The dollar is waiting for support from the Fed: USDJPY is targeting 161.00
The USDJPY pair is trading near the key resistance level at 160.60 as the market awaits the Federal Reserve’s rate decision. Hawkish rhetoric from the regulator may support the dollar and pave the way for the pair to rise to 161.00.
USDJPY forecast: key takeaways
Today, all eyes are on the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decision
Hawkish Fed rhetoric may bolster the dollar, pushing the USDJPY pair higher to 161.00
The interest rate differential between the US and Japan continues to support carry trade operations
Fundamental analysis
Fundamental analysis for 17 June 2026 shows that the USDJPY rate remains near the psychologically important resistance level at 160.60, with the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting becoming the key event for the pair. The market expects the rate to remain at the current level, but the main focus will be on the Fed's comments rather than the decision itself.
The Bank of Japan’s decision to raise the rate to 1.00% from the previous 0.75% failed to strengthen the yen noticeably. The reason is that the market had already priced in this move.

XAUUSD remains under pressure from the Fed: gold quotes may decline to 4,050 USD
XAUUSD partially recovered after yesterday’s decline, but hawkish Fed rhetoric continues to weigh on gold. The main scenario предполагает a break of support at 4,235 USD and a decline in quotes to 4,050 USD.
Gold forecast: key takeaways
Hawkish Fed rhetoric is limiting XAUUSD’s recovery potential
Gold is still trading in a downtrend
A break of support at 4,235 USD may strengthen the bearish scenario and open the way for a decline in quotes
Fundamental analysis
Analysis of XAUUSD for 18 June 2026 shows that gold is recovering after yesterday’s decline against the backdrop of hawkish Fed rhetoric and is trading around 4,316 USD per ounce. Quotes received support from news of a temporary agreement between the US and Iran, which reduced tension around the Strait of Hormuz and led to a further decline in oil prices.
But the main factor for XAUUSD remains the Fed decision. The regulator left the rate unchanged at 3.75%, but the updated forecasts showed that almost half of Fed members allow for a rate increase by the end of the year.

US 30 forecast: the index has completed its correction
The US 30 index is trading in an uptrend and has completed its correction, suggesting a new all-time high. Today’s US 30 forecast is positive.
US 30 forecast: key takeaways
Recent data: the US Federal Reserve kept its interest rate at 3.75%
Market impact: the data has a negative effect on the equity market
Fundamental analysis
For the US 30 index, this release appears rather neutral to moderately negative in the short term. The very fact that the rate was left at 3.50–3.75% is not in itself a shock for the market if investors had already priced in such a decision. However, the more important signal is not the current decision, but the change in the Federal Reserve’s rhetoric.
For the US 30 index, which includes major industrial, financial, consumer, and technology companies, this creates pressure through a higher cost of capital and more cautious expectations for corporate earnings.

The JP 225 stock index entered a correction, but the trend remains upward. The JP 225 forecast for today is positive.
JP 225 forecast: key takeaways
Recent data: Japan’s core Consumer Price Index rose by 1.40%
Market impact: the effect on the Japanese stock market is mixed
Fundamental analysis
The actual national core CPI reading was 1.4% year-on-year, exactly in line with the forecast and the previous figure. This means that the market did not face any inflationary surprises, and therefore, the probability of a sharp reassessment of expectations for the Bank of Japan's monetary policy remains limited.
For the JP 225, this data may act as a supportive factor, as moderate inflation reduces the risk of a more aggressive rate hike. This is important for the Japanese stock market since higher rate expectations put stronger pressure on company valuations.

DE 40 forecast: the index lacks a directional trend
The DE 40 stock index entered a medium-term sideways channel. The DE 40 forecast for today is negative.
DE 40 forecast: key takeaways
Recent data: Germany’s preliminary services PMI came in at 46.8 in June
Market impact: the data creates a positive backdrop for the German stock market
Fundamental analysis
Germany’s services PMI data looks negative for the DE 40 index, with the actual reading coming in at 46.8 points, below the forecast of 49.0 and the previous 48.1. Since a reading below 50.0 points indicates a contraction in business activity, the market may interpret this publication as a signal of deterioration in the German economy, particularly in domestic demand and the services sector.
For the DE 40 index, this news creates pressure, all else being equal. Investors may revise expectations for revenue and earnings at German companies, especially those whose businesses depend on consumer spending, corporate services, lending, and domestic economic activity.
