Euro Pauses & Yen Outperforms (02.13.2026)
The Dollar Index remained around 97 on Friday, marking its fourth consecutive session of sideways movement
Asian markets pulled back from record levels after a sharp selloff in US technology shares fueled worries about the broader impact of artificial intelligence. US stock futures stabilized on Friday following a sharp selloff in major averages driven by renewed AI concerns, as investors awaited January’s consumer price index.
The 10-year US Treasury yield remained near 4.11% on Friday after a sharp drop in the prior session, staying close to a two-month low as market volatility drove investors toward Treasuries.
The euro held near 1.1870 as markets turned cautious ahead of key US inflation data, which is expected to shape near-term Federal Reserve policy expectations. Strong US labor figures continue to support the dollar and cap further euro gains, though the ECB’s calm stance on recent currency strength has helped limit downside pressure. The yen remains set for its strongest weekly advance in months on election optimism and intervention vigilance. Sterling lagged peers following weak UK growth data that reinforced expectations of future Bank of England rate cuts.
Gold and silver stabilized as investors reassessed risk after a broad selloff.
Technical Outlook on Charts
Euro Holds Near 1.1870
Yen Holds Weekly Gains
Gold Recovers Toward $4,960
Pound Weakens on Low Growth
Silver Stabilizes Near $77
