The EUR/CAD declined by 0.19% to 1.4700 in Thursday's session, reaching its lowest level since July 1st. The currency pair has been falling steadily since then, amid increasing selling pressure as indicated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). The overall momentum appears to be bearish, with the pair likely to continue its downward trend in the near term, as per our previous technical analysis.

The technical indicators for the EUR/CAD pair suggest that the downtrend is likely to continue. The RSI is at 27, indicating oversold conditions, and is sloping down, suggesting that selling pressure is rising. The MACD is also suggesting that selling pressure is rising, as the histogram is red and rising. The overall outlook for the EUR/CAD is bearish, and the pair is likely to continue its decline in the near term but an upwards correction shouldn’t be taken off the table.

While deeply oversold conditions may lead to short-term consolidation, the outlook remains negative. Indicators such as the RSI and MACD suggest continued selling pressure, and the pair is likely to decline further.

AUD/USD flirts with 0.7000, lowest since early August amid bullish USD

AUD/USD hits a fresh low since early August during the Asian session on Friday and looks vulnerable near 0.7000 after breaking below the 200-day SMA overnight. Against the backdrop of the hawkish Fed, a two-day rally in oil prices revives inflation fears and continues to push US bond yields to multi-year highs. Adding to this, geopolitical risks lift the US Dollar to a two-month high, overshadowing RBA rate hike bets and weighing on the pair.

USD/JPY pulls back from three-week high after failing near 159.00

USD/JPY edges lower during the Asian session on Friday, stalling its recent strong move to a three-week high of 159.00 as Japanese Yen bears turn cautious amid intervention fears. Meanwhile, the US Dollar retains a strong bullish undertone as the Fed's hawkish outlook and oil-driven inflation fears continue to push US bond yields to multi-year peaks. Furthermore, the BoJ's dovish rate hike last week might cap JPY and support spot prices.

Gold treads water below $4,300

Gold grabs some buying attention and advances marginally at the end of the week, partially retracing the weekly decline, although it is still navigating below the key $4,300 mark per troy ounce. The fresh selling bias on the Greenback and the modest decline in US Treasury yields appear to support the humble advance in the precious metal.

Fed vs BoJ: Both hiked. The market only believes one of them – and the chart shows which

The Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) have just done something remarkably similar. Both central banks raised interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) last week, both are confronting inflation risks, and both signal that future decisions will depend on incoming economic data.
