Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

Update Time: 08 Nov 2019 04:30GMT

USD/JPY - 109.23... The greenback takes a breather after yesterday's rally to a 5-month peak at 109.48. Earlier in the day, despite dropping to dropping to session lows at 108.66, price gained to 109.19 in European morning, then higher to 109.58 in New York afternoon as comments from China's Commerce Ministry increased optimism over US-China trade deal. However, lack of follow-through buying triggered profit-taking and retreated to 109.16 in late New York and continues to remain under pressure in Tokyo morning.

Dollar's break of October's peak at 109.28 to 109.48 yesterday suggests Medium Term upmove from August's 33-month trough at 104.46 has resumed and buying on intra-day dips for a resumption of said uptrend is favored.
Bids are now seen at 109.00/10 and more below at 108.70/80 with stops building up below there whilst initial offers are noted at 109.80/90.

Pay attention to the release of University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment at 15:00GMT. Street forecast is for an uptick to 95.9 from previous reading of 95.5.

EUR/USD makes a U-turn, focus on 1.1900

EUR/USD’s recovery picks up further pace, prompting the pair to retarget the key 1.1900 barrier amid further loss of momentum in the US Dollar on Wednesday. Moving forward, investors are expected to remain focused on upcoming labour market figures and the always relevant US CPI prints on Thursday and Friday, respectively.

GBP/USD sticks to the bullish tone near 1.3660

GBP/USD maintains its solid performance on Wednesday, hovering around the 1.3660 zone as the Greenback surrenders its post-NFP bounce. Cable, in the meantime, should now shift its attention to key UK data due on Thursday, including preliminary GDP gauges.

Gold holds on to higher ground ahead of the next catalyst

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place on Wednesday, retargeting the $5,100 zone per troy ounce on the back of modest losses in the US Dollar and despite firm US Treasury yields across the curve. Moving forward, the yellow metal’s next test will come from the release of US CPI figures on Friday.
