EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Bounces off intraday low to stay around mid-0.8700s

EUR/GBP remains pressured towards the monthly bottom, also nine-month low.
Key HMAs, weekly resistance line guard immediate upside.
Bears eye April 2020 low during further weakness.

EUR/GBP remains on the back foot, down 0.06% to 0.8755, despite the latest corrective pullback from an intraday low of 0.8753 during early Thursday.

In doing so, the quote extends the previous day’s bearish performance while stays below a downward sloping trend line from February 04. Also favoring the EUR/GBP sellers is the pair’s sustained trading below the key Hourly Moving Averages (HMAs).

As a result, bears can eye fresh positions below weekly horizontal support around 0.8750.

Following that, the monthly low of 0.8738, also the lowest since May 2020, will be the key as it holds the gate for extra south-run to April 2020 low near 0.8670.

Alternatively, an upside break of 100-HMA level of 0.8766 should renew buying interest targeting the stated resistance line and 200-HMA, respectively around 0.8770 and 0.8790.

However, any clear run-up past-0.8790 will help the EUR/GBP buyers to refresh the monthly peak surrounding 0.8860.

USD/JPY eyes August swing low, near 155.20 ahead of US NFP

USD/JPY retests the August monthly swing low during the Asian session on Friday as a more hawkish repricing of BoJ rate-hike bets and a suspected intervention continue to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar is seen consolidating the previous day's heavy losses amid soft US bond yields, further weighing on the currency pair as traders keenly await the US NFP report.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7200; US NFP awaited

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7200, near its highest level since mid-May, as bulls await the US NFP report for more cues on the Fed's policy path before placing fresh bets. Meanwhile, the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near its lowest level in over a week and acts as a tailwind for the Aussie amid the RBA's hawkish tilt.

Gold tumbles as blockbuster US NFP lift US Dollar, Treasury yields

Gold (XAU/USD) falls sharply on Friday, snapping a two-day recovery after the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report surprised strongly to the upside. The metal briefly climbed above $4,500 on Thursday, gaining nearly 2%, but has since erased a large part of that advance.

Crypto’s $638 million buyback boom may not be as bullish as it looks

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols reportedly spent $638 million to buy back their native tokens in August, up 17% from a year earlier. On the surface, the buyback trend suggests the cryptocurrency industry is maturing fast, adopting one of Wall Street’s oldest tools to bolster valuations and distribute revenue. The headline becomes less impressive once the number is opened up.

Why hawkish Bank of Japan expectations aren't enough to sustain the Japanese Yen rally

The Japanese Yen (JPY) experienced a sudden burst higher after falling back below the 160.00 psychological mark against the US Dollar (USD) earlier this week amid a more hawkish repricing of Bank of Japan (BoJ) rate hike expectations.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
