USD/JPY - 112.30.. Despite yesterday's resumption of recent erratic decline to a 3-week trough of 111.84 in New York afternoon after U.S. stocks erased initial gain following soft U.S. CPI and fell again, the greenback pared intra-day losses and rebounded in Tokyo morning as Asian stocks opened with minor gains (though N225 is currently down 0.5% at 22462), suggesting range trading above 111.84 with mild upside bias would be seen.

However, outlook remains mildly bearish for recent decline to resume after intra-day consolidation is over, therefore, selling dlr again on further rise is still favoured. Bids are noted at 112.00-111.90 with stops below 111.80 whilst offers are tipped at 112.50/55 with stops above 112.85.

T.G.I.F. after a tumultous week, U.S. will release import n export prices n then University of Michigan consumer confidence. Also, we have Chicago Fed President Evans (non-voter) speaking at 13:30GMT n then Atlanta Fed's Bostic (voter) at 15:45GMT.

EUR/USD keeps the rangebound trade near 1.1850

EUR/USD is still under pressure, drifting back towards the 1.1850 area as Monday’s session draws to a close.

GBP/USD trades with negative bias, eyes 1.3600 ahead of UK jobs data

The GBP/USD pair trades with a negative bias for the second straight day, though it lacks bearish conviction and holds above the 1.3600 mark through the Asian session on Tuesday. Traders now look forward to the release of the UK monthly jobs report, which will influence the British Pound and provide some impetus to the currency pair.

Gold sticks to a negative bias below $5,000; lacks bearish conviction

Gold remains depressed for the second consecutive day and trades below the $5,000 psychological mark during the Asian session on Tuesday, as a positive risk tone is seen undermining safe-haven assets. Meanwhile, bets for more interest rate cuts by the Fed keep a lid on the recent US Dollar bounce and act as a tailwind for the non-yielding bullion, warranting caution for bearish traders ahead of FOMC minutes on Wednesday.

AI Crypto Update: Bittensor eyes breakout as AI tokens falter

The artificial intelligence (AI) cryptocurrency segment is witnessing heightened volatility, with top tokens such as Near Protocol (NEAR) struggling to gain traction amid the persistent decline in January and February.

US CPI is cooling but what about inflation?
