Intra-day market moving news and views

Update Time: 10 Jun 2021 05:30GMT

EUR/USD - 1.2170.. Euro remains on the back foot in Asian morning after Wed's roller-coaster ride. Despite meeting renewed buying at 1.2172 (AUS) in Australian morning n a brief break of Monday's 1.2201 high to 1.2218 on the back of falling U.S. yields, the single currency then fell on safe-haven USD's buying due to intra-day decline in U.S. stocks.

As yesterday's retreat from 1.2218 suggests near term up move from Friday's 1.2105 trough has made a top n sideways swings are in store as traders are keeping their powder dry ahead of key ECB monetary policy announcement at 11:45GMT, then post-ECB presser by ECB president Lagarde at 12:30GMT as well as the most awaited U.S. eco. data this week, annual CPI. If Lagarde hints at the tapering of QE, euro will jump but if she avoids this topic and shrugs off the recent rise in EU bonds yields n US CPI comes in as per forecast or higher, then the euro will fall.

On the data front, ahead of ECB announcement, we have France's non-farm payrolls, industrial output n the same from Italy.

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.
