AUD/USD consolidates the RBA-led big slump within an 18-pip trading range, picking up bids near 0.7438 heading into the European session on Wednesday.

Although oversold RSI conditions probe the immediate downside of the Aussie pair, the bears remain hopeful of breaking the key technical supports the previous day.

After confirming a rising wedge bearish chart pattern on the RBA’s verdict to give up the bond yield targeting, the Aussie pair also slipped below a convergence of 100-SMA and an ascending trend line from September 29, around 0.7460.

That said, the quote remains on the bear’s radar until crossing the 0.7460 support-turned-resistance. Even so, the lower line of the wedge, around 0.7500 adds to the upside filters before recalling the AUD/USD buyers.

In a case where the pair stays strong beyond the 0.7500 threshold, the upper line of the stated bearish formation and October’s peak will lure the bulls around 0.7560.

Alternatively, three-week-old horizontal support, near 0.7380, seems live on the AUD/USD pair seller’s radar but any further weakness will be challenged by the 200-SMA level around 0.7360.

Gold trades above $4,350; looks to US CPI for fresh impetus

Gold ticks higher during the Asian session on Wednesday, stalling the previous day's retracement slide from a two-month high. The lack of any meaningful US Dollar buying ahead of the crucial US CPI report acts as a tailwind for the bullion. Meanwhile, oil-driven inflation fears keep bets for at least one Fed rate hike in 2026 firmly on the table and might keep a lid on any meaningful upside for the non-yielding yellow metal.

911 million shares freed: Why SpaceX rallied into its own supply

The most heavily trailed supply event of the year landed on August 6, and the SpaceX (SPCX) stock went up. Roughly 911.5 million shares held by insiders and early backers became eligible to trade, around 43% more than the entire float sold at the listing, and the freely tradable portion of the company jumped from under 5% of shares outstanding to nearly 12% in a single session.

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
