DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK on Major
Update Time: 03 Apr 2020 03:30GMT

EUR/USD - 1.0840
Euro's anticipated resumption of decline from last week's 1.11477 high to Thursday's 1-week low of 1.0821 on renewed usd's strength due to safe-haven demand following blowout U.S. jobless claims suggests correction from March's near 3-year bottom at 1.0637 has ended.

As long as 1.0904 holds, further weakness towards 1.0786 is envisaged after consolidation, however, reckon 1.0747 should contain weakness. A daily close above 1.0904 would risk stronger retracement of aforesaid fall towards 1.0969 next Monday.

Today is PMI day in the euro area countries where Markit services and mfg PMIs for Mar will be released (see our EI page for details) and these readings will be very 'weak' in the aftermath of the coronavirus outbreak, so expect euro to come under renewed selling when data from Italy, France, Germany and the EU are released.

EUR/USD holds firm near 1.1850 amid USD weakness

EUR/USD remains strongly bid around 1.1850 in European trading on Monday. The USD/JPY slide-led broad US Dollar weakness helps the pair build on Friday's recovery ahead of the Eurozone Sentix Investor Confidence data for February.

GBP/USD holds medium-term bullish bias above 1.3600

The GBP/USD pair trades on a softer note around 1.3605 during the early European session on Monday. Growing expectation of the Bank of England’s interest-rate cut weighs on the Pound Sterling against the Greenback.

Gold remains supported by China's buying and USD weakness as traders eye US data

Gold struggles to capitalize on its intraday move up and remains below the $5,100 mark heading into the European session amid mixed cues. Data released over the weekend showed that the People's Bank of China extended its buying spree for a 15th month in January. Moreover, dovish US Fed expectations and concerns about the central bank's independence drag the US Dollar lower for the second straight day, providing an additional boost to the non-yielding yellow metal.

Cardano steadies as whale selling caps recovery

Cardano (ADA) steadies at $0.27 at the time of writing on Monday after slipping more than 5% in the previous week. On-chain data indicate a bearish trend, with certain whales offloading ADA. However, the technical outlook suggests bearish momentum is weakening, raising the possibility of a short-term relief rebound if buying interest picks up.

Japanese PM Takaichi nabs unprecedented victory – US data eyed this week

I do not think I would be exaggerating to say that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s snap general election gamble paid off over the weekend – and then some. This secured the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) an unprecedented mandate just three months into her tenure.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple consolidate after massive sell-off

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple prices consolidated on Monday after correcting by nearly 9%, 8%, and 10% in the previous week, respectively. BTC is hovering around $70,000, while ETH and XRP are facing rejection at key levels. Traders should be cautious: despite recent stabilization, upside recovery for these top three cryptocurrencies is capped as the broader trend remains bearish.
