EUR/USD - Positive, supported by key Averages.

In line with yesterday's call, buyers were attracted around the 13/100 day mvg avg area for a 3rd day in a row. Gains were modest though and unable to effectively breach Friday’s Marabuzo line. That adds a strong note of caution but our intraday signals are positive and so our call for this morning is a Buy from 7am  but leaving room to also Buy any Dip to 1.1066, Tuesday’s open. The risk is Friday’s 1.1039 low trade with an immediate target of 1.1111, Friday’s high. A move through that point then exposes sentiment to 1.1143, the  top of the Keltner channel, and  1.1167, the 5 week open.

GBP/USD weakens to two-week lows near 1.3520

GBP/USD trades on the back foot, returning to the low 1.3500s, or two-week troughs, on Tuesday. Cable’s bearish price action follows decent gains in the Greenback at the time when investors assess latest US data releases and the persistent uncertainty in the US-Iran crisis.

EUR/USD remains offered; breaks below 1.1600

Gold eyes $4,300 breakdown amid Fed hike bets, Iran risks, firm USD

Gold languishes near a two-and-a-half-week low, touched during the Asian session on Wednesday, awaiting a break below $4,300 before the next leg down. Escalating US-Iran tensions lift oil prices to a nearly six-week high and fuel inflation fears, reaffirming Fed rate-hike bets. This acts as a tailwind for the safe-haven US Dollar and undermines demand for the non-yielding bullion.

WTI advances to mid-$90.00s, fresh high since July 24 amid escalating US-Iran tensions
