EURUSD

The Euro was slightly higher in Asia on Monday, following Friday's slide after double upside rejection at daily Kijun-sen barrier. Weak near-term structure keeps the downside vulnerable, with risk of retest of lower pivot at 1.0495 (daily Tenkan-sen line), break of which is needed to confirm lower top at 1.0619 and open way for fresh weakness. However, extended sideways trading could be expected while the price is holding between daily Tenkan-sen/Kijun-sen pivots. Conversely, sustained break above daily Kijun-sen line (1.0605) would trigger fresh bullish acceleration and open next targets at 1.0668 / 1.0700.

Res: 1.0573; 1.0605; 1.0619; 1.0668

Sup: 1.0515; 1.0495; 1.0472; 1.0446

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 eases some ground, approaches $5,300

Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance, reshifting its attenton to the $5,300 zone per troy ounce at the beginning of the week. Indeed, the yellow metal’s firm performance appears propped up by incresing geopolitical jitters in the Middle East, which at the same time fuels the demand for the safe-haven space.
