AUD/USD is battling 0.7800, sitting at the highest levels in seven weeks, as the sentiment remains underpinned by broad-based US dollar weakness.

The covid vaccine rollouts driven global economic optimism continues to weigh on the haven demand for the greenback. The dovish RBA minutes and PBOC’s inaction failed to have any impact on the aussie.

From a near-term technical perspective, AUD/USD remains on track to challenge the horizontal (orange) trendline resistance at 0.7853, as the upside break from the symmetrical triangle extends into a fresh week.

The February 26 high of 0.7884 remains next on the buyers’ radars.

With the Relative Strength Index (RSI) pointing upwards, near 62.02, the upside appears more compelling for the aussie.

AUD/USD daily chart

To the downside, immediate support awaits at the horizontal 50-daily moving average (DMA) at 0.7724.

The round number at 0.7700 could then challenge the bearish commitments.

The mildly bullish 100-DMA at 0.7679 will likely come to the AUD bulls’ rescue.

GBP/USD: Daily gains remain capped by 1.3650

GBP/USD leaves behind Monday’s pessimism and advances marginally on Tuesday. Cable’s humble gains, however, appear to have met quite a decent resistance in the 1.3650 zone for now, in a context of a slight selling pressure hovering around the Greenback.

EUR/USD struggles to regain pace; gyrates around 1.1670

EUR/USD clinches humble gains around 1.1670 following Tuesday’s close on Wall Street. Indeed, marginal losses in the US Dollar encourages spot to set aside two dauly pullbacks in a row and maintain the 1.1700 barrier on the cross-hairs for now. Moving forward, US inflation tracked by the PCE and another revision of Q2 GDP data should keep investors entertained on Wednesday.

$4700 back on Gold buyers’ radar as US core PCE inflation data looms

Gold is heading back toward the fresh 15-week highs of $4,697 in Wednesday’s Asian trades, reversing a brief dip below the $4,650 level. Gold buyers find renewed strength from a broadly subdued US Dollar (USD), as they look to reposition ahead of the US core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index data for July.

Bitcoin pauses near $80,000, Ethereum at $2,500, XRP below $1.50

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) are facing downside pressure near key psychological thresholds as last week's double-digit rally loses momentum. The pullback reflects near-term corrective measures as traders book profits. Bitcoin trades near $78,760 at press time on Wednesday, maintaining its bullish bias after last week's 23% rally.

America’s self‑inflicted trade wound

I’m conflicted about the trade war that the U.S. has started with Canada. Let’s be clear: any representation that Canada has been taking unfair advantage of the U.S. or that they have been treating us badly for years is a bogus characterization. In reality, the shoe is on the other foot. It’s the U.S. that has been behaving badly.

Canada hits US goods with tariffs; The rate market sees a problem

On September 8, Canada begins charging its own importers 15%, 25% and 50% on roughly 700 lines of American goods. The measure is billed as dollar for dollar, and on the arithmetic of covered trade it is. What it is not is a tax on the United States.
