Andrzej Rostek/iStock via Getty Images By Zain Vawda AUD:USD has been on a tear since January 19, rallying some 500-odd pips since. The move has coincided with US dollar weakness and a renewed appetite for emerging markets and commodity-linked currencies like the Australian dollar. The current rally appears to have found a top around the 0.7150 handle, before ending last week with two bearish days. This has raised the question: Is a deeper correction on its way for AUD/USD? Fundamental outlook - Central Bank policy divergence The longer-term fundamental picture still supports further Aussie dollar gains as central bank policy divergence comes into play. The RBA has raised rates at its recent meeting with the potential for more rate hikes, while the Federal Reserve continues to eye rate cuts at some point this year. However, in the short term, a pullback still may materialize, and looking at the recent price action, there do appear to be signs to support this narrative. Just looking at implied rates for the Fed and the RBA, the divergence is evident. According to LSEG data, markets are pricing in around 37 bps of rate hikes for the RBA through December 2026. RBA implied rates for 2026 (Source: LSEG) Now switching to the Federal Reserve, markets are pricing in around 66 bps of rate cuts after last week's softer-than-expected CPI print. This leaves the Aussie dollar in pole position for more gains as the year progresses. Federal Reserve implied rates for 2026 (Source: LSEG) Technical Analysis - AUD/USD From a technical point of view, the best place to start is the weekly chart. On a weekly time frame, we have seen upper wicks, which may be a sign that bullish momentum is fading. Couple that with the period-14 RSI, which is in overbought territory. Are these signs of fatigue? AUD/USD Weekly Chart, February 16, 2026 (Source: TradingView.com) Dropping down to a four-hour time frame, and support at 0.70690 is key. A break of this level, though, still faces significant hurd...

I'll readily admit that I don't know how the stock market will perform in 2026. It could continue to climb. On the other hand, the momentum from last year could evaporate. However, I think the individual stocks that outperform the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) this year will be those with key catalysts. With that in mind, I predict that three stocks will crush the market in 2026. Image source: Getty I...

Euro-denominated stablecoins can be a valuable tool for cheap international transfers, supplementing the European Central Bank ’s push for a digital common currency, Governing Council member Joachim Nagel said. Discussing transatlantic frictions, the Bundesbank president said Europe must become more independent on payment systems and highlighted the ECB’s work to create a digital version of the euro. “I also see merit in euro-denominated stablecoins,” he told an event Monday at the American Chamber of Commerce in Germany. “They can be used for cross-border payments by individuals and firms at low cost.” President Donald Trump ’s push to make crypto more mainstream has raised fears that dollar-backed stablecoins could gain a foothold in Europe, threatening the region’s banks and monetary sovereignty. Nagel’s remarks suggest growing open-mindedness at the ECB on euro-pegged stablecoins, after some officials fretted about the dollar’s dominance and the fact that the instruments are privately issued and could jeopardize financial stability. ECB’s Cipollone Says Digital Euro Guarantees Strategic Autonomy Stablecoins Can Threaten Entire Financial System, ESM Chief Says EU Watchdog Pushes Multi-Issuance Crypto Ban on Crash Fears Deutsche Bank Explores Stablecoins and Tokenized Deposits Nagel said last week that “the Eurosystem could support DLT-based payment instruments not directly related to central bank money, in particular, tokenized deposits and euro-denominated stablecoins.” He also warned that “a hypothetical replacement of a domestic currency with stablecoins would be equivalent to a dollarization of the corresponding economy,” though called the risk small.

ByteDance says that it's rushing to add safeguards to block Seedance 2.0 from generating iconic characters and deepfaking celebrities, after substantial Hollywood backlash after launching the latest version of its AI video tool. The changes come after Disney and Paramount Skydance sent cease-and-desist letters to ByteDance urging the Chinese company to promptly end the allegedly vast and blatant infringement. Studios claimed the infringement was widescale and immediate, with Seedance 2.0 users across social media sharing AI videos featuring copyrighted characters like Spider-Man, Darth Vader, and SpongeBob Square Pants. In its letter, Disney fumed that Seedance was "hijacking" its characters, accusing ByteDance of treating Disney characters like they were "free public domain clip art," Axios reported .
