Intra-day market moving news and views

Update Time: 14 July 2021 05:30GMT

EUR/USD - 1.1781.. Euro languishes near Tuesday's 3-month trough of 1.1773 in relatively subdued Asian trading as market is on yen initially, then intra-day jump in the kiwi.

Despite intra-day sellof to 1.1793 after release of 'hot' US inflation data, euro staged a short-covering bounce to 1.1832 but only to tumble to session lows of 1.1773 as U.S. yields rallied. As yesterday's break of prev. July's 1.1782 low suggests correction from 2021 bottom at 1.1705 (March) has ended, price is en route to re-test this level especially if J. Powells sounds less dovish in his 2-day semi-annual testimony before the Senate.
Therefore, selling euro on recovery is the way to go, offers are tipped at 1.1795/05 n more above with stops touted above 1.1840. Bids are noted at 1.1770/60 with stops below there.

Eco. data in the euro area countries is very light with EU's industrial production being he only data due out. Market in France is closed for Bastille Day holiday.

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

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

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.
