The anticipation of a potential meeting between President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping next year has introduced cautious optimism, which may influence the USD against major currencies. Meanwhile, European stocks are poised to rise following strong performances in U.S. equities, particularly after Nvidia’s announcement of a significant investment in OpenAI, which has bolstered market confidence.

The euro (EUR) and British pound (GBP) are under pressure amid concerns over domestic policies, including France’s renewed push for a wealth tax, which could affect economic stability in the Eurozone. Additionally, drone incursions causing airport disruptions in Copenhagen and Oslo have raised concerns about regional security, impacting market sentiment.

On September 23, 2025, key economic indicators are set to influence FX markets significantly. Early in the day, Singapore’s Core CPI and CPI for August fell short of forecasts, with actuals at 0.30% and 0.50%, respectively, compared to expectations of 0.40% and 0.60%. This lower inflation data may exert downward pressure on the Singapore Dollar (SGD) as it suggests a weakening economic environment.

In the Eurozone, the HCOB France Manufacturing and Services PMIs both disappointed, recording 48.1 and 48.9 against forecasts of 50.2 and 49.7, respectively. Similarly, Germany’s Manufacturing PMI at 48.5, below the 50.0 forecast, further highlights economic contraction risks, likely leading to bearish sentiment for the Euro (EUR).

Conversely, Germany’s Services PMI exceeded expectations at 52.5, which could mitigate some negative sentiment. The Eurozone Composite PMI results, due later, will be pivotal for EUR movements.

In the U.S., the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI is anticipated at 52.2, and the Composite PMI at 54.6, both suggesting resilience. These figures could bolster the U.S. Dollar (USD) if they align with or exceed expectations, especially amid upcoming speeches from key Federal Reserve members.
