EUR/USD moved back above 1.1600, supported by softer euro-area inflation figures and ECB minutes pointing to no urgency for rate cuts through 2026. Gold climbed toward $4,240, a five-week high fueled by renewed talk of a December Fed cut, while Brent crude pushed above $63 after OPEC+ confirmed its Q1 production freeze, though signs of progress in Russia-Ukraine discussions kept gains in check.

The Japanese yen strengthened beyond 155.5 as expectations for BOJ tightening accelerated, and the offshore yuan hovered near 7.07, supported by broad USD weakness despite soft Chinese manufacturing data. In digital assets, Bitcoin fell toward 85,878, posting a nearly 5% daily drop and extending its four-week slide.
