EUR/USD Current Price: 1.0898

Russian invasion of Ukraine maintains market players rushing into safety.
Stocks trade in the red but off intraday lows as sellers paused.
EUR/USD is set to extend its slump below 1.0800 towards 1.0760 in the near term.

The EUR/USD pair trades at around 1.0900, recovering from a fresh multi-month low of 1.0805 as mounting tensions related to the Russia-Ukraine war keep market players rushing into safety. The dollar soared at the weekly opening, particularly against its European rivals, but edged lower against Gold, which flirted with $2,000 a troy ounce.

The mood improved modestly mid-European session on headlines indicating that top Russian and Ukrainian diplomats will meet in Turkey next Thursday. Nevertheless, European indexes trade in the red while government bond yields remain subdued as nobody expects an end to this conflict soon.

Data wise, the EU published March Sentix Investor Confidence, which unexpectedly contracted to -7, much worse than the 5.3 expected and down from 16.6 in February. The US will not release relevant data today, and in fact, the macroeconomic calendar will remain quite scarce until Thursday, when the European Central Bank will announce its decision on monetary policy, and the US will publish February inflation figures.

EUR/USD short-term technical outlook

The EUR/USD pair is oversold on its daily chart but without signs of downward exhaustion. In the said time frame, technical indicators maintain their firmly bearish slopes within extreme levels as the pair fell further below its moving averages. The 20-SMA heads south almost vertically, currently at around 1.1255.

The 4-hour chart shows that technical indicators have corrected extreme readings but remain far below their midlines, suggesting that the current recovery is a mere correction. The 20-SMA heads firmly lower below the longer ones while above the current level, indicating that sellers retain control of the pair. The next relevant support area is at 1.0760, where the pair bottomed in May 2020.

AUD/USD remains above 0.7200 after China's trade data

AUD/USD sits above 0.7200 in the Asian session on Tuesday, near its highest level since May 14. The US Dollar stays under pressure as a rallying Japanese Yen outweighs support from hawkish Fed bets and geopolitical tensions. This, along with firming expectations for another RBA rate hike later this month, acts as a tailwind for the Aussie. However, mixed China trade balance data keep the pair restricted.

USD/JPY stabilizes at around 154.00 as markets assess BoJ outlook

USD/JPY fluctuates at around 154.00 in the American session on Tuesday after rebounding from the six-month low it touched below 153.00 earlier in the day. Nevertheless, the upside attempts resemble technical corrections for now as Japan's upbeat wage growth data and Q2 GDP revision cement bets on a BoJ rate hike next week and continue to support the Japanese Yen.

Gold holds around $4,400, but for how long?

Gold (XAU/USD) remains on the back foot during American trading hours on Tuesday, even as the US Dollar (USD) remains on the defensive. Rising Oil prices and expectations of a Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hike weigh on the precious metal. At the time of writing, XAU/USD trades around $4,400 after reaching an intraday high near $4,443.

XRP ticks up as bullish derivatives, EMA support signal breakout

Ripple (XRP) is grinding upward and getting closer to a short-term breakout above $1.40 on Tuesday. This uptick follows the remittance token's defense of support at $1.38, after a short-lived attempt to breach selling pressure at $1.50 last week.

Europe in focus: September 2026

Six major net contributors demanded substantial cuts to the European Commission’s proposed 2028–2034 EU budget. Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland and Sweden issued a joint position on 27 August calling for the nearly €2 trillion proposal to be reduced by several hundred billion euros and rejecting additional common EU borrowing.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

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.
