GBP/USD adds to the multi-day negative streak and retreats toward the 1.3470 zone on Wednesday, or four-week troughs. Cable’s deep correction comes on the back of the unabated recovery in the Greenback and the persistent geopolitical concerns.
EUR/USD gains traction in the second half of the day on Wednesday and rises toward 1.1600. The US Dollar (USD) weakens, possibly due to another intervention in foreign exchange markets to support the Japanese Yen, and allows the pair to stretch higher. Meanwhile, the data from the US showed earlier in the day that employment in private sector rose less than expected in August.
Gold (XAU/USD) stages a sharp rebound on Wednesday, reversing all its earlier losses as a sudden rise in the Japanese Yen (JPY) triggers broad selling pressure on the US Dollar (USD).
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) – the benchmark US Crude Oil price – scales higher for the third straight day – also marking the fifth day of a positive move in the previous six – and climbs to a fresh high since July 24 during the Asian session on Wednesday.
The cryptocurrency market is pulling back broadly on Wednesday as investors adopt a cautious stance, with Bitcoin consolidating near its short-term support at $77,000. Ethereum remains under pressure, slipping toward $2,400. Ripple is also trending lower.
The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
