AUD/USD Price Analysis: Pair trims a part of its modest intraday gains, plods near 0.6480

AUD/USD trades higher due to upbeat Australia’s Private Capital Expenditure.
23.6% Fibonacci retracement appears to be a barrier following the three-week high at 0.6522.

AUD/USD retraces from the previous day’s losses, trading higher around 0.6480 at the time of writing during the Asian session on Thursday. The pair is experiencing upward support due to the downbeat US Treasury yields and disappointing US economic data.

Additionally, Australia’s upbeat Private Capital Expenditure (Q2) was released on Thursday, contributing support to the AUD/USD pair. The data reported that capital expenditure intentions improved to 2.8%, better than the expected 1.2% figure and 2.4% prior.

The 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 0.6488 emerges as the immediate resistance, followed by the 0.6500 psychological level. A firm break above the latter could support the AUD/USD pair to explore the area around a three-week high at 0.6522, followed by the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 0.6565.

On the downside, the pair could meet the key support around the 21-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.6474, followed by the nine-day SMA at 0.6445. A break below that level could put pressure on the AUD/USD pair to navigate the region around the 0.6400 psychological level.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains below 50, which suggests a bearish bias of the AUD/USD traders. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line remains below the centerline; however, it indicates a divergence above the signal line. This divergence indicates an improvement in recent momentum.

In the short term, the underlying trend exhibits a bearish outlook as long as the AUD/USD pair stays below the 50-day EMA at 0.6610.

GBP/USD edges lower below 1.3650, with eyes on US PCE data

GBP/USD trades with a negative bias below 1.3650 in the European session on Wednesday, eroding a part of the previous day's strong gains. The pair, however, remains within striking distance of a six-month top, set last Friday, as traders keenly await the release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index data for a fresh impetus.

EUR/USD holds lower ground near 1.1650 ahead of key US data

EUR/USD is holding lower ground toward 1.1650 in Wednesday's European session. The US Dollar is recovering modestly amid profit-taking and Middle East uncertainty. US inflation, tracked by the PCE, and another revision of Q2 GDP data should keep investors entertained on Wednesday.

Gold remains depressed below $4,650 on firmer USD; looks to US PCE for Fed rate outlook

Gold sticks to modest losses below $4,650 heading into the European session, though it lacks bearish conviction and remains confined within the previous day's broader range. The US Dollar regains positive traction amid some repositioning ahead of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index and is seen as weighing on the commodity. Adding to this, Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's remarks at the Jackson Hole Symposium on Friday might offer more cues about the interest rate path.

Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe: Profit-taking cools last week’s rally

Meme coins, including Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Pepe (PEPE), are losing their bullish momentum after last week’s double-digit gains. Facing downside pressure amid profit-taking, DOGE and PEPE risk further decline while SHIB holds at a support level.

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.
