EUR/USD

EURUSD is holding under new high (1.1830, the highest since Sep 2021), as larger bulls took a breather for consolidation.

The single currency remains supported by the broader weakness of US dollar, which showed the worst performance in the first six months of this year, since 1973.

Dips from new peak were so far shallow and found solid support at broken Fibo level at 1.1685 (76.4% retracement of 1.2349/0.9535 downtrend), suggesting that broader bullish structure remains intact.

The pair is on track for the third weekly close above 1.1685 support that adds to strong bullish stance and keeps in play prospects for further advance.

Bulls eye initial target at 1.1909 (3 Sep 2021 high) the last obstacle en-route to psychological 1.2000 barrier.

Only break below daily Kijun-sen (1.1600) would dent bulls and risk deeper pullback.

Res: 1.1756; 1.1800; 1.1830; 1.1909.
Sup: 1.1685; 1.1631; 1.1600; 1.1538.

EUR/USD appears supported by the 200-day SMA, for now

Following an early pullback to multi-week lows near 1.1670, EUR/USD now manages to reclaim the 1.1700 region as the NA session draws to a close on Monday. The steep retracement in spot follows the equally strong move higher in the US Dollar, as investors continue to assess the geopolitical landscape in the wake of the US and Israel attacks on Iran.

GBP/USD hits new yearly lows near 1.3300

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold clings to gains as US-Iran conflict continues to underpin safe-haven assets

Gold retains positive bias for the fifth consecutive day on Tuesday as rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to underpin safe-haven assets. However, a bullish US Dollar could keep the bullion below its highest level since late January, set on Monday, warranting caution before positioning for any further appreciation.
