Euro set for weekly drop, yen eyes biggest gain since early September

The euro is expected to experience a weekly decline, while the yen is anticipated to achieve its largest gain in nearly five months. This shift in currency values is driven by France's sovereign risk premium rising, alongside a sell-off in AI-related stocks attracting safe-haven demand for the yen.

The dollar's recent performance has been less favorable, as doubts about the AI investment boom have raised concerns about a more dovish Federal Reserve. The US 10-year Treasury note yield increased by 2.5 basis points to 4.98 percent, following a previous drop of 19.5 basis points.

Investors are currently uncertain about the future of the euro/dollar pair, with both currencies facing selling pressure. The European Central Bank is anticipated to maintain its current stance during its meeting, while the Federal Reserve is also expected to unveil its policy decisions.
