fx daily staring at the geopolitical headlights
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
ING THINK's FX Daily report for September 7, 2026, highlights the dollar's resilience amid geopolitical tensions and high energy prices, with expectations of a modest upward drift. It notes USD/JPY's consolidation around 155, EUR/USD trading in a tight range with downside risks ahead of the ECB meeting, and sees hawkish market pricing in CEE as excessive, favoring unwinding of rate hike bets. The report also observes that the KRW's recent gains may be overdone, leading to potential consolidation.

- EUR/USD is expected to trade in a tight 1.1580-1.1640 range with a downside bias ahead of the ECB meeting.

Corresponding source evidence
We prefer to back the themes of higher energy prices and an under-priced Fed giving some support to the dollar in the near term. The US Labor Day public holiday will limit activity today, but DXY can probably drift higher in a 99.00-99.50 range.
· short-termHere, we continue to see 155 as a big level in USD/JPY, above which some more consolidation should be due.
· short-termThe main event of the week, however, will be Thursday's ECB meeting, where we see some downside risks to the euro. Expect EUR/USD to trade a tight 1.1580-1.1640 range today, with our bias to the downside.
· short-term
Conditions / invalidation
- Ahead of the ECB meeting on Thursday
- Unless the CNB delivers a hawkish surprise
- If the NBP maintains its dovish bias despite higher inflation
