# Forex Report: Dollar gains on easing U.S.-China tensions, UK labor data surprises, AUD/USD plummets.

## Forex and Global News
In the forex market today, the U.S. Dollar (USD) demonstrated strength, buoyed by a cooling of trade tensions between the U.S. and China, which positively impacted the USD/INR pair, pushing the Indian Rupee (INR) lower to around 88.90. The Australian Dollar (AUD) fell against the USD as new port fees were imposed by both the U.S. and China. The UK’s unemployment rate rose to 4.8%, slightly above expectations, which may weigh on the British Pound (GBP).

Meanwhile, European markets opened lower, reversing earlier positive sentiment, and this shift is likely to influence the Euro (EUR) as traders react. In commodities, crude oil prices declined, with WTI trading at $58.75 per barrel, reflecting bearish sentiment in the energy sector. Gold prices are testing resistance levels ahead of a key speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, amid ongoing U.S.-China trade concerns.

The DXY is currently at 99.27, reflecting a daily change of 0.0776%.

On October 14, 2025, key economic data releases significantly impacted the FX markets, particularly for the GBP and EUR.

The UK labor market data released at 02:00 ET revealed stronger-than-expected figures. The Average Earnings Index, including bonuses, rose to 5.0%, surpassing the forecast of 4.7%. Additionally, the Claimant Count Change showed an increase of 25.8K, well above the anticipated 10.3K. However, the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.8%, slightly exceeding the forecast of 4.7%. These mixed signals could lead to volatility in GBP trading, as the stronger earnings data may bolster expectations for continued monetary tightening by the Bank of England.

In the Eurozone, German inflation data confirmed expectations, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for September matching forecasts at 2.4% year-on-year. This stability may support the euro, keeping it resilient against other currencies.

The day also features key speeches from central bank officials, including Fed Chair Powell and BoE Governor Bailey, which could further influence market sentiment and currency movements. Investors will be closely monitoring these discussions for signals regarding future monetary policy adjustments. Overall, the GBP and EUR are likely to experience heightened activity as traders digest these economic indicators.
