FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

EUR/CZK has dropped to a low of 25.264. In case the pair breaches the 25.25 mark, a slide to the 2020 low of 24.75 would be on the cards, economists at Société Générale report.

A break above recent peak of 25.55 is essential for a short-term rebound

“EUR/CZK is once again probing the support at 25.25 which it has defended since April. It could be forming a base, however, a break above the recent peak of 25.55 is essential for a short-term rebound.”

“In the event 25.25 gets violated, there could be a risk of a deeper down move. This breakdown could lead the pair lower towards next potential support levels at 25.12/25.07 representing the lower band of a multi month channel and perhaps even towards 2020 low of 24.75.”

EUR/USD looks weak below 1.1800

EUR/USD has slipped back under pressure, breaking through the 1.1800 support and drifting towards the weekly lows near 1.1770 ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The move reflects renewed strength in the US Dollar, with steady geopolitical tensions keeping its demand firm. Moving forward, the release of the German labour market report and flash inflation figures should keep European investors entertained on Friday.

GBP/USD threatens the 200-day SMA near 1.3440

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Wednesday’s strong advance, coming under heavy pressure and retesting the 1.3440 zone, where the critical 200-day SMA is located. Cable’s deep pullback follows the strong gains in the Greenback, while investors continue to pencil in a potential BoE rate cut in March.

Gold trims gains, slips back to around $5,170

Gold is now facing some downside pressure, hovering around the $5,170 region on Thursday. The yellow metal surrenders part of its earlier gains on the back of the resurgence of the buying interest in the Greenback. In the meantime, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to limit the downside potential for now.
