USD showed early strength during Asian hours, extending Friday\u2019s late recovery, but momentum reversed ahead of the London open as risk appetite improved and expectations for continued Fed easing weighed on the Greenback.<\/p>\n<p>During U.S. hours, the dollar briefly attempted to stabilize, but dovish commentary from Fed Governor Miran, advocating for rates in the \u201cmid-2 percent area,\u201d reinforced selling pressure. Record equity highs further undermined safe-haven dollar demand.<\/p>\n<p>The Greenback closed broadly weaker, falling 0.4% on the index, though it managed gains against the Canadian dollar after hot Canadian PPI data complicated the BOC\u2019s easing path.<\/p>\n<h2>Upcoming Potential Catalysts on the Economic Calendar<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Swiss Current Account for Q2 2025 at 7:00 am GMT<\/li>\n<li><strong>Euro Area HCOB Manufacturing &#038; Services PMIs Flash for September at 8:00 am GMT<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>U.K. S&#038;P Global Manufacturing &#038; Services PMI Flash for September at 8:30 am GMT<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>U.K. BOE member Pill Speech at 9:00 am GMT<\/li>\n<li>U.K. CBI Industrial Trends Orders for September at 10:00 am GMT<\/li>\n<li>Canada New Housing Price Index for August at 12:30 pm GMT<\/li>\n<li>U.S. Current Account for Q2 2025 at 12:30 pm GMT<\/li>\n<li>U.S. Fed Bowman Speech at 1:00 pm GMT<\/li>\n<li><strong>U.S. S&#038;P Global Manufacturing &#038; Services PMI Flash for September 2025 at 1:45 pm GMT<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>U.S. Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index for September at 2:00 pm GMT<\/li>\n<li>U.S. Fed Bostic Speech at 2:00 pm GMT<\/li>\n<li><strong>U.S. Fed Chair Powell Speech at 4:35 pm GMT<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Canada BOC Macklem Speech at 6:30 pm GMT<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>U.S. API Crude Oil Stock Change for September 19, 2025, at 8:30 pm GMT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The London session could see heightened volatility as flash PMI releases for the Euro Area and the UK provide critical insights into Q3 growth momentum and whether manufacturing weakness is spreading to services.<\/p>\n<p>In the U.S., flash PMIs could validate or challenge the Fed\u2019s hawkish pivot, but the main event is Powell\u2019s speech where markets will scrutinize every word for clues about whether his \u201crisk management\u201d characterization of last week\u2019s cut remains intact, especially after the strong Philadelphia Fed data, with USD likely to strengthen if he maintains his hawkish tone or weaken sharply if he walks back recent comments.<\/p>\n<p>As always, look out for global trade developments and geopolitical headlines that could influence overall market sentiment.
