Update Time: 13 May 2021 05:30GMT

EUR/USD - 1.2080. The single currency is nursing loss after day's selloff in NY. Euro swung wildly in hectic NY trading as, despite intra-day fall fm 1.2144 in Europe to 1.2071 in NY morning after upbeat US CPI data, the price briefly jumped back to 1.2152 b4 tanking to 1.2066 near NY midday as a decline in U.S. stocks (benchmark S&P 500 closed down 2.15% at 4,062) prompted broad-based safe-haven USD's buying.

As euro's fall from Tue's fresh 10-week peak of 1.2181 to 1.2066 suggests recent upmove fm 1.1705 (Wed) has made a temp. top, downside bias remains for weakness twd 1.1999 (38.2% r) after consolidation, therefore, selling euro on recovery is the way to go. Offers are tipped at 1.2085/95 with stops abv 1.2115 while bids (profit taking) are touted at 1.2060/55 with stops below 1.2045.

No economic data is due out from the euro area countries as many European markets are closed for Ascesion Day market holiday, therefore, the euro may probably move narrowly until NY morning.

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.
