Dollar Struggles to Find a Pulse as ECB Pushes Euro-isation

US data has improved but not enough to restore dollar confidence, and a durable rebound looks unlikely this week; EUR/USD may break below 1.180 rather than rise to 1.20 as euro-isation grows. The ECB’s move to widen euro access could support longer-term EUR/USD, even as near-term moves remain modest. In the UK, January jobs and inflation data keep BoE-cut bets alive, while in CEE most currencies stay range-bound amid expectations of gradual rate cuts. Nvidia earnings and stock volatility loom as potential FX catalysts.

UK inflation ticks up to 3.4% in December on tobacco and travel costs

Britain’s inflation rate rose to 3.4% in December from 3.2% in November, beating economists’ 3.3% forecast, with higher tobacco prices from new excise duties and pricier airfares contributing, along with rising bread and cereal costs; core inflation held at 3.2%, while rents and some recreational prices fell. The pound traded near $1.323, and the data cloud the Bank of England’s path to a February rate cut as pay growth remains soft.

"BOE Emerges as Top Supplier for iPhone SE 4 Displays, Samsung Declines"

BOE is set to supply the majority, if not all, of the 6.1-inch OLED panels for the upcoming iPhone SE 4, as Samsung reportedly withdrew from the deal due to Apple's low pricing. With a unit cost of $25, lower than what Samsung or Chinese makers are asking, BOE is likely to secure all orders for the displays, while Samsung's decision was influenced by low margins and Apple's request for an even lower price per unit.

"BOE Secures iPhone SE 4 Display Production as Samsung Declines: Report"

Samsung declined to manufacture displays for the 2025 iPhone SE 4 due to price disagreements with Apple, leading to China's BOE being awarded the sole contract. The decision introduces some risk, as Samsung's production line challenges had been ironed out, but Apple generally prefers multiple suppliers for reduced risk and negotiating power. Despite this, both companies are likely content with the outcome, as Apple seeks to minimize costs and Samsung prioritizes strong revenue streams from flagship iPhone displays.

"BOE Secures Deal to Supply OLED Panels for iPhone SE 4, Beating Out Samsung"

Apple supplier BOE is likely to provide the OLED panels for the upcoming 6.1-inch iPhone SE 4, as Samsung Display has reportedly withdrawn from negotiations due to pricing issues. BOE and Tianma have been in discussions with Apple, but Tianma has not yet met Apple's quality requirements, leaving BOE in pole position to win the majority, if not all, of the orders. The iPhone SE 4 is rumored to feature a design similar to the iPhone 14, with a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, USB-C port, and an all-screen look. Despite the upgrades, the iPhone SE 4 may face faster depreciation than Apple's higher-end models.

The race for peak display brightness is heating up as the OnePlus 12, Oppo Find X7 Ultra, and Realme GT5 Pro tout ultrabright 4500-nit screens, setting a new standard in smartphone display technology. These advancements are made possible through collaboration with BOE and the use of LTPO 4.0 technology, offering high peak brightness, granular refresh rates, and superior HDR performance. While the 4500-nit claim may be achieved under specific lab conditions, the higher peak brightness contributes to better outdoor visibility and marks a high-quality modern LTPO panel, signaling a new frontier in smartphone display competition.
