USD/JPY - 111.96.. Dlr pares initial gain after extending yesterday's rally above New York 111.99 high to a fresh 6-week peak of 112.08 at Tokyo open due to renewed yen-selling esp. vs usd, euro and sterling, however, profit taking quickly emerged and knocked price back down to 111.96, suggesting range trading is in store until European open.

As Thursday's break of previous daily res at 111.83 confirms dlr's rise from August's 7-week bottom at 109.78 has finally resumed, price is en route to re-test Aug's top at 112.15 and stops are above there are now in focus, therefore, trading the greenback from long side for further headway to 112.45/50 later today is recommended.
Bids are noted at 111.80-70 with stops below 111.65, offers are tipped at 112.10/15 with stops above there.

The U.S. will release a slew of eco. data starting with August retail sales, import and export prices, industrial prod., capacity utilization, mfg output, bus. inventories and last but not least University of Michigan consumer confidence, suggesting it would be a lively trading session in New York morning.
Also we have Chicago Fed President Evans speaking at 13:00GMT.

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. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. 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.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
