EUR/USD

The Euro extends advance into sixth straight day on Tuesday and cracked key Fibo barrier at 1.1166 (61.8% of 1.1494/1.0635) to post new 2 1/2 month high at 1.1187. Weak dollar and growing risk mode keeps the single currency inflated and bulls look for today's close above 1.1147 (27 Mar former high) and1.1166 Fibo level to generate fresh bullish signal for extension towards next strong barriers at 1.1221/24 (100WMA / weekly cloud top). Rising positive momentum and daily MA's in firm bullish configuration (10/200DMA's golden cross formed today) support the action, but overbought conditions warn that bulls may lose traction and consolidate before continuing. Extended dips should find support above daily cloud top (1.1165) to keep bulls in play. Only return and close below 200DMA (1.1010) and psychological 1.10 support would neutralize and shift focus lower.

EUR/USD trims gains, back below 1.1800

GBP/USD off highs, recedes to the sub-1.3500 area

Following earlier highs north of 1.3500 the figure, GBP/USD now faces some renewed downside pressure, revisiting the 1.3490 zone as the US Dollar manages to regain some upside impulse in the latter part of the NA session on Friday.

Gold climbs to weekly tops, approaches $5,100/oz

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place at the end of the week, now hitting fresh weekly highs and retargeting the key $5,100 mark per troy ounce. The move higher in the yellow metal comes in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and modest losses in the US Dollar.
