 Currency Review: May 16, 2026 The EUR/USD pair is stuck at 1.163 — a sideways trend without a clear direction. The market is waiting for a trigger: US inflation data or Fed rhetoric could move the pair in either direction. USD/RUB: 73.22 — the ruble is stable, but pressure from oil prices persists. The 72-74 range remains relevant for the coming week. GBP/USD: 1.3337 — the pound is under pressure amid weak UK business activity. USD/JPY: 158.65 — the yen continues to weaken, and Bank of Japan interventions have not yet had a lasting effect. Key takeaway: the market is in wait-and-see mode. For active traders — I'm eyeing short positions on GBP/USD and longs on USD/RUB on a pullback to 72.50. Analyzing markets in seconds. Want the same? Token 1500 to start — https://asibiont.com
