Tariff-driven inflation risk adds volatility to currency markets

Donald Trump's implementation of Section 301 tariffs on imports from 60 economies is raising questions about inflation dynamics, interest rate policy, and the broader outlook for the US dollar, according to Cryptoslate. These measures have introduced greater uncertainty into currency markets and are contributing to volatility in pairs such as USD/SEK. The potential for shifting monetary policy in response to tariff-driven inflation makes the forex landscape more sensitive to US policy developments.

Mixed momentum signals as overbought readings meet strong support

On the technical front, USD/SEK holds above the MA-20 at kr9.5219 and MA-50 at kr9.5327 on the hourly chart, as well as the long-term MA-200 at kr9.3083 on the daily chart. Immediate support is provided by the Ichimoku Kijun at kr9.5429. RSI registers a reading of 57.08, suggesting a buy signal, while MACD and ADX show neutral momentum. Both Stoch RSI and CCI readings indicate overbought conditions, hinting at short-term resistance. Bull/Bear Power confirms persistent buyer control, and the Awesome Oscillator supports the continued upward tone, though mixed signals across indicators caution against overconfidence in the trend.

Upside favored as range holds amid breakout risk

Over the next two to three trading days, price action for USD/SEK is expected to remain confined within the kr9.5056 to kr9.6268 range, consistent with typical volatility bands. The probability of an upward move is calculated at 55%, making further gains somewhat more likely. If resistance breaks, the bullish scenario envisions continued advances, while a drop below immediate support could open the way to a bearish retracement.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees solid momentum for USD/SEK as macro and sentiment forces align. He believes Section 301 tariffs fuel policy uncertainty that supports US dollar strength and feeds volatility. Technical signals favor buyers, though mixed indicators suggest near-term caution. "Given the policy backdrop and current market positioning, I expect USD/SEK to retain an upward bias as long as key support holds."

Earlier, analysts noted mixed momentum and prevailing uncertainty in USD/SEK as technical signals offered no clear directional catalyst. With current volatility heightened by US tariff policies and buyers still holding an edge, traders should watch for a breakout beyond the established range as a potential trigger for sharper price movement.
