The EURGBP confirmed its surrender to the dominant bearish trend by providing several closes below 0.8600 level, activating with the main indicators’ negativity by forming sharp decline, to surpass the initial targets to settle near 0.8515.
Forming extra barrier at 0.8454 level and stochastic reach to the oversold level, we expect renewing the negative attempts, to target 0.8490 and 0.8470 level.
The expected trading range for today is between 0.8490 and 0.8520
The EUR/USD pair is trading at 1.1260 on the 2-hour chart as it rebounds from the latest decline. I see price trading below both moving averages, and still within a longer-term bearish move. The bounce, however, is improving momentum in the near-term, and I am looking for the first Fibonacci level at 1.1278 to be tested.
The next resistance would be at 1.1298, with 1.1317 above that. The support would be at 1.1254, and then 1.1215 and 1.1189.
RSI is moving up from the oversold area, but is still below the center line. This means the bullish momentum is not confirming a trend reversal, and I would expect price to continue falling, while staying below 1.1278 and 1.1298. I would see a break above 1.1317 as bullish and a break below 1.1254 as more bears coming in toward 1.1215.
The U.S. Dollar Index eased after the report, falling from a session high at 102.132 to near 101.74. It remains above the 50-day moving average at 99.94 after a sharp run higher. The dollar gave gold some room Friday. Control of the currency trade is another matter.
That’s why gold couldn’t hold the first spike. The metal got a weaker jobs report, lower October hike odds, a lower 10-Year yield and a softer dollar. It still couldn’t take out the 61.8% level.
What to Watch
The payrolls report pushed the October rate trade out of the way. Friday’s bounce is running on short-end relief. Gold still needs the long end of the bond market to follow it lower. The 10-Year and the dollar backed off Friday without breaking anything on their charts.
The bias is to the downside with the main trend down on the swing chart. The jobs report gave gold a chance to repair the break and it stalled before the 61.8% level at $4,230.51. Spot Gold is still trading under the 50% level at $4,319.61 and the 50-day moving average at $4,327.50. This week’s low at $4,110.87 is the level underneath.

Daily chart of the US 2-Year Yield showing price pulling back toward 4.735% following US employment data.
The 2-year yield I’m watching is dropping after the jobs report came in very anemic on Friday. We had anticipated 90,000 jobs added; we got 29,000. So, the idea is maybe the Federal Reserve won’t have to raise rates as quickly. We’ll have to wait and see, but this will have a major influence on how certain assets play out, and that is in the back of my mind.
Natural gas futures weekly chart showing price at 2.934, below both EMAs and the 3.000 level, after the sharp spike in early 2026. Source: TradingView.
The natural gas market has fallen pretty significantly during the course of the week, but we still remain somewhat in the same range we’ve been in for a while. Ultimately, this is a market that has been very attracted to the $3 level, and it’s probably worth noting that $3, being a large, round, psychologically significant figure, does make a certain amount of sense. This is also a market that might get a lot of momentum based on the idea that the Europeans may be running a little short on energy
The GBPJPY pair ended the bullish corrective rebound by providing a new negative close below 210.45 barrier, forming a sharp decline by targeting 207.60, repeating the sideways fluctuation by its stability above 208.10 level, which represents a confirmation key for the near trading.
The contradiction of the main indicators might push the price to provide unstable sideways trading, while its move below 208.10 and providing a negative close will increase the chances of resuming the bearish trend, to expect reaching 206.80, and surpassing this barrier will extend the trading towards 206.25 and 205.65.
The expected trading range for today is between 208.10 and 209.45
Trend forecast: Fluctuating within the bearish trend
The EURJPY pair kept its stability below the additional barrier that is represented by 179.45 level, activating the negative trend and recording initial extra target by reaching 176.75 level.
The current corrective rebound will not threaten the bearish trend, depending on the stability below 180.80 resistance, besides the continuation of forming extra barrier at 179.45 level, and providing negative momentum by the main indicators makes us prefer breaking 176.70 level, to open the way for reaching new bearish stations that might begin at 176.00 and 175.60.
The expected trading range for today is between 176.00 and 178.20
Platinum price faces negative pressures by providing a positive close above $1705.00 level, to begin forming some gains by its stability near $1735.00. The stability of the trading above $1705.00 is important to increase the chances of attacking the barrier near $1840.00, where surpassing it will confirm its readiness to form a strong bullish trend to target 1880.00 level.
While the return of the fluctuation below $1705.00 will force it to resume the bearish corrective attempts, which forced it to suffer new losses by reaching $1660.00 and $1605.00.
The expected trading range for today is between $1700.00 and $1840.00
The Pound US Dollar (GBP/USD) exchange rate moved lower on Thursday, with escalating geopolitical tensions driving investors towards safer assets.
At the time of writing, GBP/USD was trading at $1.3212, having fallen by almost 0.4% over the course of the day.
The US Dollar (USD) strengthened on Thursday as rising geopolitical tensions and renewed concerns over oil prices prompted investors to seek the safety of the ‘Greenback’.
Market anxiety grew following a Ukrainian strike on a Russian oil facility, while US President Donald Trump threatened to ‘blow up’ Iran if negotiations failed to produce a favourable deal.
The developments fuelled demand for safe-haven assets.
The US Dollar maintained its gains into the afternoon, even after the latest ISM manufacturing PMI report fell short of expectations.
The index slipped to 54.5 in September from 54.6, missing forecasts of 55.

Nevertheless, the figures still indicated that US manufacturing activity expanded at a solid pace last month, despite the slight loss of momentum.
The Pound (GBP) struggled to gain traction on Thursday, as a lack of significant UK economic releases offered little to guide Sterling.
The day’s main data point was the final UK manufacturing PMI for September, which was revised down marginally to 51.9.
While this marked an improvement on August’s reading of 51.7, it fell short of the initial estimate of 52.
The modest downgrade did little to encourage demand for the Pound, while broader risk aversion added to the pressure on the increasingly risk-sensitive currency.
Near-Term GBP/USD Forecast: US Payrolls Take Centre Stage
Attention turns to Friday’s US non-farm payrolls report, which could set the tone for the GBP/USD exchange rate heading into the weekend.
The US economy is forecast to have created 90,000 jobs in September, down sharply from August’s 162,000 but still a respectable result by recent standards.
A reading in line with expectations could provide modest support for the US Dollar.
However, a significant deviation from forecasts could trigger a sharper reaction.
Stronger-than-expected job growth may lift the ‘Greenback’, while a weaker result could send it lower as markets reassess the outlook for Federal Reserve interest rate hikes.
With little UK economic data due on Friday, the Pound is likely to take its cues from broader market sentiment and developments overseas.

According to the latest IndexBox report on the global Coffee Creamer market, the market enters 2026 with broader demand fundamentals, more disciplined procurement behavior, and a more regionally diversified supply architecture.
The global coffee creamer market is undergoing a structural transformation as it moves toward 2035, shifting from a commoditized, volume-led category to one where value growth is increasingly driven by premiumization, plant-based innovation, and functional benefits. Historically anchored in powdered and liquid dairy formats sold through mainstream retail, the category now faces a widening bifurcation: a price-sensitive core under pressure from private label, and a fast-growing premium frontier where claims around health, clean-label ingredients, and barista-grade performance command higher margins.
This report provides a strategic analysis of the market from 2026 to 2035, examining demand drivers, segment dynamics, competitive intensity, and regional outlooks. It covers key trends such as the mainstreaming of dairy-free and lactose-free options, the rise of e-commerce and direct-to-consumer channels, and the evolving role of foodservice and office coffee service. The analysis is designed for brand owners, category managers, investors, and market entrants seeking a clear read on where growth sits, which brands control the category, and how pricing, promotion, and route-to-market shape commercial success. The forecast horizon extends to 2035, with historical context from 2012 to 2025.
The baseline scenario for the global coffee creamer market through 2035 anticipates moderate but steady value growth, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2% from 2026 to 2035, and the market index reaching 152 by 2035 (2025=100). This outlook assumes continued premiumization in developed markets, gradual recovery in emerging economies, and sustained innovation in plant-based and functional creamers. Volume growth will be slower, particularly in North America and Western Europe, where per-capita consumption is mature and private label penetration is high.
However, value growth will be supported by consumers trading up to premium liquid creamers, barista-style products, and fortified options. In Asia-Pacific, rising coffee culture and urbanization will drive both volume and value, though local taste preferences and price sensitivity will shape product formats. The market will face headwinds from commodity price volatility, regulatory pressures on sugar and fat content, and intense competition from private label. Nevertheless, opportunities abound in clean-label, low-sugar, and high-protein creamers, as well as in e-commerce and foodservice channels.
The baseline scenario does not assume major disruptive events but recognizes that supply chain disruptions or economic downturns could alter the trajectory. Overall, the market is expected to remain resilient, with premiumization and plant-based innovation as the primary engines of value creation.
Demand Drivers and Constraints
Primary Demand Drivers
Premiumization and trading up: Consumers increasingly seek barista-style, clean-label, and functional creamers, driving value growth.
Plant-based and dairy-free demand: Rising lactose intolerance and vegan lifestyles boost plant-based creamer adoption.
Coffee culture expansion: Growing coffee consumption, especially in emerging markets, increases creamer usage.
Convenience and single-serve formats: Busy lifestyles favor on-the-go and single-serve creamers.
Health and wellness trends: Demand for low-sugar, high-protein, and fortified creamers rises.
E-commerce and DTC growth: Online channels facilitate discovery of premium and niche creamers.
Potential Growth Constraints
Private label pressure: High private-label penetration in developed markets limits branded pricing power.
Commodity price volatility: Fluctuations in dairy and vegetable oil prices impact margins.
Regulatory scrutiny: Increasing regulations on sugar, fat, and labeling could hinder certain products.
Mature markets saturation: Slow volume growth in North America and Europe constrains overall expansion.
Supply chain challenges: Logistics and ingredient sourcing disruptions can affect availability and costs.
Supermarkets and hypermarkets remain the dominant channel for coffee creamer sales, accounting for the largest share of volume and value. In this segment, demand is driven by routine household purchases, with shoppers typically buying creamer as part of their regular grocery basket. The shelf space is increasingly divided between private label and branded products, with private label gaining ground in the value tier. However, premium and plant-based creamers are driving value growth, as consumers seek healthier and more sophisticated options. Retailers are responding by expanding their assortments of dairy-free and functional creamers, often placing them in dedicated health or natural sections.
Promotional activity is intense, particularly in the mainstream tier, where brands use price discounts and multi-buy offers to defend share. Looking ahead to 2035, the retail channel will remain critical, but its growth will be value-driven rather than volume-driven. The key demand-side indicators to watch include private-label penetration rates, the share of premium SKUs, and the velocity of plant-based products. Retailers’ ability to curate assortments that cater to diverse need states—from everyday value to indulgent premium—will determine their success. Current trend: Stable but shifting toward premium and plant-based.
Major trends: Expansion of plant-based and dairy-free creamer sets, Growth of private label in the value tier, Increased shelf space for functional and clean-label creamers, Promotional intensity in the mainstream tier, and Rise of multi-pack and single-serve formats.
Foodservice and Office Coffee Service (estimated share: 25%)
The foodservice and office coffee service (OCS) segment is a vital channel for coffee creamer, encompassing restaurants, cafes, hotels, and workplace coffee stations. Demand here is driven by out-of-home coffee consumption, which has rebounded post-pandemic and continues to grow. In foodservice, creamer is often provided in single-serve pods, bulk liquid, or powdered formats, with operators seeking cost-effective yet quality solutions. The segment is witnessing a shift toward premium and plant-based creamers as consumers expect the same quality in cafes as they do at home. OCS providers are increasingly offering dairy-free and flavored creamers to cater to diverse workplace preferences.
The segment’s growth is tied to the overall health of the foodservice industry, which is expected to expand steadily through 2035, particularly in emerging markets. Key demand indicators include the number of coffee-serving establishments, office occupancy rates, and the adoption of premium creamer options in foodservice. Operators that can balance cost and quality while offering variety will capture share. However, this segment is also sensitive to economic cycles, as discretionary spending on out-of-home coffee can decline during downturns. Current trend: Recovering and innovating with premium options.
Major trends: Recovery of foodservice traffic post-pandemic, Adoption of plant-based creamers in cafes and restaurants, Growth of single-serve and portion-control formats, Premiumization in office coffee service, and Sustainability initiatives driving packaging changes.
E-commerce and Direct-to-Consumer (estimated share: 15%)
E-commerce and direct-to-consumer (DTC) channels are the fastest-growing route to market for coffee creamer, albeit from a smaller base. This segment is driven by convenience, discovery, and the ability to access niche products not available in local stores. Online shoppers for creamer tend to be younger, more health-conscious, and willing to pay a premium for specialty items such as barista-grade, organic, or functional creamers. Subscription models are gaining traction, particularly for liquid creamers that require regular replenishment. The segment’s growth is supported by the expansion of e-grocery platforms, improved cold-chain logistics, and social media marketing.
However, profitability is challenged by high customer acquisition costs and the logistics of shipping liquid products. Looking to 2035, e-commerce is expected to increase its share of the market, especially in urban areas where delivery infrastructure is robust. Key demand indicators include online grocery penetration, subscription retention rates, and the share of premium SKUs sold online. Brands that invest in digital marketing and seamless fulfillment will be well-positioned to capture this growth. Current trend: Fast-growing, especially for premium and niche products.
Major trends: Rise of subscription-based creamer delivery, Growth of direct-to-consumer brands, Increased online grocery penetration, Social media influence on purchase decisions, and Innovation in packaging for e-commerce shipping.
Representative participants: Califia Farms, Oatly Group AB, Elmhurst 1925, Nestlé S.A, and Danone S.A.
Convenience Stores and Gas Stations (estimated share: 10%)
Convenience stores and gas stations represent a significant channel for coffee creamer, primarily through the sale of single-serve creamers and ready-to-drink coffee beverages. This segment caters to consumers seeking immediate consumption and convenience, often during commutes or travel. Demand is driven by the frequency of coffee purchases at these locations, which remains robust despite competition from drive-thru coffee chains. The creamer offerings in convenience stores are typically limited to mainstream brands and private label, with a focus on shelf-stable liquid and powdered formats. However, there is a growing opportunity for premium and plant-based single-serve creamers as consumers seek healthier options on the go.
The segment’s growth will be influenced by trends in mobility, fuel prices, and the expansion of convenience store foodservice. Key demand indicators include foot traffic, coffee attachment rates, and the share of premium creamers in the mix. To succeed, brands must ensure availability and visibility in these high-traffic locations, often through partnerships with convenience store chains. Current trend: Steady, with focus on single-serve and on-the-go.
Major trends: Growth of single-serve liquid creamers, Expansion of fresh coffee programs in convenience stores, Demand for dairy-free options on the go, Promotional bundling with coffee purchases, and Sustainability concerns driving packaging innovation.
Representative participants: Nestlé S.A, Danone S.A, FrieslandCampina, Lactalis Group, and Dean Foods (Dairy Farmers of America).
Other Channels (including vending, travel, and institutional) (estimated share: 5%)
The ‘other channels’ segment encompasses vending machines, travel (airlines, trains), and institutional settings such as hospitals, schools, and corporate cafeterias. While smaller in share, this segment is important for brand visibility and trial. Demand is driven by the need for convenient, shelf-stable creamer options that can be easily dispensed. In vending, powdered creamers dominate due to their long shelf life and low cost, but there is a gradual shift toward liquid and plant-based options as vending operators upgrade their offerings. In travel and institutional settings, creamer is often provided as part of a beverage service, with a focus on cost and reliability.
The segment’s growth will be modest, tied to the recovery of travel and institutional foodservice. Key demand indicators include vending machine placements, airline passenger volumes, and institutional meal counts. Opportunities exist for brands that can offer sustainable, single-serve packaging and cater to dietary restrictions. However, this segment is highly price-sensitive and often subject to contract negotiations, limiting premiumization potential. Current trend: Niche but stable, with potential in travel and institutional.
Major trends: Upgrade of vending machines to offer premium creamers, Recovery of travel and institutional foodservice, Demand for sustainable packaging in travel, Growth of plant-based options in institutions, and Consolidation of vending operators.

Direction: Growing.
North America (estimated share: 25%)
North America is a mature but high-value market, with growth driven by premiumization and plant-based creamers. Private label penetration is high, pressuring branded players.
