AUD/USD is on a solid recovery mode above 0.6550 on Wednesday, reversing half the previous day’s sell-off. The pair’s rebound is supported by a retreat in the US Dollar across the board, as traders turn cautious ahead of the key US ADP employment report.

However, Aussie buyers seem to face rejection just shy of the 0.6600 level amid renewed China debt worries. Moody’s Investors Service on Tuesday downgraded its outlook on China’s government credit ratings to negative from stable.

The further upside in the Aussie could remain capped, courtesy of the dovish pause by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) a day ago. The RBA held the interest rate steady at 4.35% in November while maintaining a cautious tone on its interest rate outlook.

AUD/USD technical analysis: Daily Chart

From a short-term technical perspective, the pair has recaptured the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.6575 on the road to recovery, having settled Tuesday below the latter.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is pointing north while above the midline, justifying the bounce in the Aussie pair.

Buyers need acceptance above the 200-day SMA to initiate a fresh uptrend toward the July 31 high of 0.6740. Ahead of that, the 0.6700 level could challenge the bearish commitments.

On the downside, strong support is envisioned at the 21-day SMA at 0.6535, below which the 0.6500 mark will be the next cushion. Deeper declines will test the 100-day SMA at 0.6469.

GBP/USD holds losses below 1.3250 on UK politics, PMIs eyed

GBP/USD loses ground below 1.3250 in the European session on Tuesday. Political uncertainty in the United Kingdom continues to weigh on the British Pound, while the US Dollar capitalizes on the risk-off mood and hawkish Fed bets. The UK and US S&P Global preliminary PMI data are next of note for the major.

EUR/USD stays below 1.1450 after weak German, EU PMI data

EUR/USD struggles to stage a rebound and trades below 1.1450 in the European session on Tuesday, after the data from Germany showed that the Composite PMI declined to 48 in June from 48.8 May, while that from the Eurozone rose to 49.5. Meanwhile, the US Dollar holds the upper hand against the Euro amid risk-off sentiment and a hawkish Fed outlook, leaving the pair on the defensive. Traders now await the US PMI data.

Gold drops to nearly two-week low, seems vulnerable amid Fed hike bets, bullish USD

Gold adds to its Asian session losses, and drops to a nearly two-week low, around the $4,115 region in the last hour amid a bullish US Dollar. Despite positive signals from US-Iran peace talks, widespread skepticism remains toward a final deal. This helps the USD in preserving its recent strong gains to the highest level since May 2025.

Bears cap Solana below $75 as ETF, retail demand wanes

Solana edges below $72 risking a third consecutive day of losses that could erase the 5% gains from Friday. SOL-focused Exchange Traded Funds reflect muted demand from institutional investors following a minor recovery last week. Meanwhile, retail trading activity hints at a bearish positional buildup.

Big day of PMIs ahead

In the euro area, June flash PMIs are released. Most respondents will likely have answered after the US-Iran deal, yet the impact of lower oil prices is unlikely to already show up in activity data. We expect manufacturing to edge down to 50.9 (May: 51.6), while we expect services to see a modest improvement to 48.8 (May: 47.7).

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
