EUR/USD

EURUSD regained traction and extended recovery on Monday, signaling formation of higher base at 1.1560 zone) and generating initial signal that correction from new 2025 peak (1.1830, posted on July 1) might be over.

Break above first trigger at 1.1661 (10DMA / Fibo 38.2% of 1.1830/1.1556) improves near term outlook, with daily close above this level, needed to validate signal and open way for extension above 1.1700 mark (1.1725 is Fibo 61.8%).

Technical picture on daily chart has improved, but more work at the upside is needed to strengthen near term structure, as north-heading 14-d momentum is still in negative territory.

Traders focus on key economic events this week – ECB rate decision and releases of Eurozone July manufacturing and services PMI’s.

While the ECB is widely expected to keep rates unchanged that would be supportive for Euro, PMI data will be closely watched for more hints about the situation in the bloc’s economy.

Market participants are also concerned about the outcome of US-EU tariff negotiations as Trump’s Aug 1 deadline nears.

EUR/USD holds lower ground near 1.1850 ahead of EU/ US data

EUR/USD remains in the negative territory for the fourth successive session, trading around 1.1850 in European trading on Friday. A broadly cautious market environment paired with modest US Dollar demand undermines the pair ahead of the Eurozone GDP second estimate and the critical US CPI data.

GBP/USD keeps losses around 1.3600, awaits US CPI for fresh impetus

GBP/USD holds moderate losses at around 1.3600 in the European session on Friday, though it lacks bearish conviction. The US Dollar remains supported amid softer risk tone and ahead of the US consumer inflation figures due later in the NA session on Friday.

Gold trims intraday gains to $5,000 as US inflation data loom

Gold retreats from the vicinity of the $5,000 psychological mark, though sticks to its modest intraday gains heading into the European session. Traders now look forward to the release of the US consumer inflation figures for more cues about the Fed policy path. The outlook will play a key role in influencing the near-term US Dollar price dynamics and provide some meaningful impetus to the non-yielding bullion.
