AUD/USD seesaws near 0.7590/95, after recently refreshing the intraday high to 0.7598, during early Tuesday. In doing so, the aussie pair rises 0.18% while taking rounds to 10-day SMA.

Considering the upbeat RSI conditions, coupled with the quote’s sustained trading beyond an upward sloping trend line from November 02, AUD/USD buyers remain hopeful.

Overall, bulls are likely to keep the reins, also backed by the risk-on mood amid the passage of the US coronavirus (COVID-19) aid package. However, holiday-thinned trading can keep the AUD/USD prices in check.

That said, a clear break of 0.7640/41 horizontal resistance becomes necessary for the bulls before challenging June 2018 top near 0.7675.

On the contrary, a downside break of the stated support line, at 0.7541 now, needs to break 21-day SMA and a three-week-long rising trend line, respectively around 0.7520 and 0.7510, before recalling the AUD/USD sellers.

It should also be noted that the 0.7500 round-figure adds to the downside filters before challenging the monthly low of 0.7338.

EUR/USD flirts with three-day lows near 1.1570

EUR/USD resumes its march south on Thursday, revisting the 1.1570 region, or three-day lows, ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The intense sell-off in the pair comes in response to the solid performance of the US Dollar amid the still unresolved crisis in the Middle East. Moving forward, investors are expected to shift their focus to the release of the US NFP on Friday.

GBP/USD stays offered near 1.3340

GBP/USD fades Wednesday’s uptick and trades with decent losses in the 1.3340 zone in the latter part of Thursday’s session. Cable’s weakness, alongside the rest of the risk complex, follows the strong performance of the Greenback amid intense geopolitical jitters.

Gold: further weakness could challenge $5,000

Gold comes under fresh selling pressure on Thursday, slipping back below the $5,100 mark per troy ounce. Persistent strength in the US Dollar (USD) is preventing the yellow metal from building a meaningful recovery, even as markets remain risk-averse amid the deepening conflict in the Middle East.

XRP rises as crypto market steadies despite Middle East war

Ripple (XRP) continues to demonstrate notable resilience as the cryptocurrency market navigates the persistent war in the Middle East after the United States (US) and Israel attacked Iran on Saturday.

China’s economic data are often treated with a degree of caution by global investors. The challenge is not necessarily that the numbers are incorrect, but that they can describe very different parts of a vast and complex economy. Nowhere is that more evident than in China’s PMIs.
