EURUSD

The Euro edges higher in early trading on Monday, but near-term outlook remains negative following strong losses in past two days that left bearish candles with long upper shadows.
Also, failure to clearly break above daily cloud (top of cloud will fall significantly this week) adds to weaker tone.
Monday's action was so far capped by 100SMA (1.1476), which now acts as resistance, following Friday's break and close below, but is underpinned by strong support at 1.1444 (broken 38.2% of 1.1815/1.1215 fall, reinforced by 10SMA).
Hopes of fresh upside would remain in play while the latter holds, with the notion supported by strengthening momentum on daily chart. Break above 100SMA and daily cloud top (1.1506) is needed to confirm scenario and shift near-term focus higher.
On the other side, near-term structure would weaken further on sustained break below 10SMA, that would open strong supports provided by a cluster of daily MA's (20/30/55) at 1.1414/1.1379 zone) and unmask key supports at 1.1350 (daily cloud base / Fibo 61.8% of 1.1215/1.1569 bull-leg).

Res: 1.1476; 1.1506; 1.1540; 1.1569
Sup: 1.1444; 1.1414; 1.1379; 1.1350

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.
