The pair finished the last session strong just above 0.73345, a significant resistance price point. The pair needs to remain above 0.73345 to continue to 0.73535 price target.

Our forecast

The first challenge for the pair on Monday's session is to try and retain its trading position above 0.73345 support to continue to the upside. The next significant resistance is estimated at 0.74110. The pair could pull back to 0.72990 and 0.72835 before continuing its upward trend.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier.

Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.
