US Federal Court Rules Trump Tariffs Unconstitutional



According to media reports, the US Court of International Trade has:

1. declared the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump illegal;
2. ruled that the President exceeded his authority;
3. blocked the tariffs, emphasising that under the US Constitution, only Congress has the power to impose tariffs.

The decision was made unanimously by a panel of three judges. Financial markets reacted with:

1. a rise in US stock indices;
2. strengthening of the US dollar — most notably seen today on the USD/CHF chart, as demand for so-called safe-haven assets declined in light of the tariff reversal.

Yesterday, after the main trading session, Nvidia released its quarterly earnings report, which exceeded analysts' expectations:
→ Earnings per share: actual = $0.81, forecast = $0.73
→ Revenue: actual = $44 billion, forecast = $43.3 billion

Additionally, according to media reports, Nvidia issued a strong forecast for the next period, although CEO Jensen Huang noted difficulties in accessing the Chinese market, which he estimates to be worth $50 billion.
Nevertheless, market participants reacted positively. According to Google, in after-hours trading the NVDA stock price rose by more than 4%, surpassing the $140 level.
It is reasonable to assume that this initial positive reaction could continue during today’s main trading session.

XAU/USD Chart Analysis: Gold Price Stabilises Around $3,300



Throughout May, a turbulent news backdrop — involving both international trade tariffs and armed conflicts — led to the formation of a peak around $3,430 and a low near $3,130 on the XAU/USD chart. As of today, the price per ounce stands around $3,300 — roughly the same level as at the beginning of the month.

This suggests that supply and demand forces are largely balanced, keeping the price contained between these extremes. The XAU/USD chart provides further confirmation, emphasising the significance of the $3,300 level.

Musk Steps Away from Politics: What Does It Mean for Tesla (TSLA) Stock?


Yesterday, it was announced that Elon Musk will be stepping down from the Trump administration as his term as head of DOGE—where he focused on reducing government spending—has come to an end.
This decision follows his statement at the economic forum in Qatar, where Musk said he plans to focus less on politics, as he feels he has already done enough in that realm.

What Does This Mean for Tesla (TSLA) Stock?
Musk’s move away from politics is likely a positive signal for investors. Here's why:
→ The company’s CEO can now devote more time to addressing issues such as declining vehicle sales in Europe;

During yesterday’s main trading session, TSLA stock surged to $367—its highest level since mid-February.

EUR/USD Rises to 4-Week High


As shown on the EUR/USD chart today, the euro rose to a 4-week high against the US dollar this morning.

The euro's strength relative to the US dollar is supported by traders’ expectations ahead of the ECB's interest rate decision, scheduled for Thursday at 15:15 GMT+3.
This upcoming event is notable not only because the ECB is expected to cut rates from 2.40% to 2.15% (for the seventh consecutive time), but also due to the broader context shaped by ECB President Christine Lagarde’s recent remarks on the euro’s status as a reserve currency.

At the same time, the US dollar is weakening amid growing trade concerns—on Friday, the US President Donald Trump announced plans to double tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50%. He also accused China of breaching the recent trade truce.

Silver Price Hits Year-to-Date High



As shown on the XAG/USD chart, silver prices rose on Monday, surpassing the previous high of the year, which was set on 28th March at around $33.50 per ounce.
Why Is Silver Rising?
A bullish driver came from statements made by the White House. According to media reports:
→ US President Donald Trump announced on Friday evening plans to double tariffs on steel and aluminium imports to 50%, starting 4th June. This intervention in the global metals market may have also impacted silver prices, given silver’s significant industrial value.
→ Trump's claims that China violated the trade agreement reached in Geneva last month further cast doubt on the prospects of a phone call between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Meta Platforms (META) Shares Surge Over 3% in a Day


Shares of American tech giant Meta Platforms (META) rose approximately 3.6% yesterday, continuing their upward trend after gaining about 18% in May.

Reports emerged yesterday that the company plans to fully automate the ad creation process using artificial intelligence.

→ identifies the target audience across Instagram and Facebook (with a combined audience of over 3 billion users);
→ enables advertisers to personalise ads so that users see different versions of the same ad in real-time, based on factors like geolocation.

Analytical Projections on UK Interest Rates for 2025 and 2026



As the UK navigates a complex economic landscape marked by trade tensions, evolving monetary policy, and persistent inflationary pressures, the trajectory of interest rates remains a focal point. In 2025 and looking ahead to 2026, forecasts on UK interest rates diverge amid uncertainty surrounding global trade dynamics, domestic growth prospects, and the Bank of England’s policy response. This article delves into expert projections, weighing economic indicators and institutional forecasts to provide an outlook on where UK interest rates may be headed over the next two years.

UK Interest Rate Environment
The UK's interest rate landscape has undergone significant transformations over the past few years. From the end of 2021 to the middle of 2023, the Bank of England (BoE) raised interest rates from the historic low of 0.1% to 5.25%—the highest in UK interest rates history since 2008. The decision to elevate interest rates from near-zero levels was primarily driven by the need to counteract rising inflation, which has emerged as a considerable threat to the UK's economic stability.

Major Currency Pairs Consolidate Ahead of Key Economic Data Releases


The GBP/USD and USD/CAD currency pairs are showing sideways movement as markets await the release of critical macroeconomic statistics. Traders are taking a wait-and-see approach, assessing upcoming data from the US, UK, and Canada.

A significant amount of attention is focused on US data. Today, ADP employment figures are expected — analysts forecast a gain of 111K compared to 62K last month. A positive outlook is also expected for the ISM Services PMI at 52.3 versus April’s 50.8. Market sentiment in the upcoming sessions will remain sensitive to incoming data and statements from Federal Reserve officials, which could shape short-term trends for the US dollar.
GBP/USD

The GBP/USD pair has stabilised in the 1.3500–1.3550 range at the start of the week. Technical analysis suggests a potential retest of May highs around 1.3600, as a number of bullish patterns have formed on the daily timeframe. A more serious downward correction may develop if the price confidently breaks below the 1.3420–1.3440 support zone.

As the chart shows, the USD/CAD exchange rate hit its lowest level of 2025 on 2nd June, nearing the 1.3680 mark. Although there was a partial recovery on 3rd June, it was not substantial.
