EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Remains subdued and oscillates above 0.8600 amid risk-off impulse

EUR/GBP encounters resistance, lingering below the pivotal 200-DMA of 0.8700, spotlighting downside risks.
A breach below 0.8605 could unlock further descent, targeting September lows and potentially the YTD low.
Recovery above 0.8658 may pave the way for a test of the crucial 0.8700 psychological and technical barrier.

The EUR/GBP extended its losses to five straight trading days and hovers at around the September 28 swing low of 0.8629, amidst a risk-off impulse courtesy of the escalation of the fight between Hamas and Israel, set to extend for the fourth straight day. Therefore, the EUR/GBP edges lower by 0.05%, and exchanges hands at around 0.8635.

The daily chart portrays the pair as neutral biased, but it appears to have bottomed, as shown by price action; nevertheless, as EUR/GBP’s price action remains trading below the 200-day moving average (DMA) of 0.8700, downside risks remain. For a bearish continuation, sellers mist break below the 50-DMA at 0.8605. A breach of the latter and the 0.8600 figure would expose the September 15 daily low of 0.8569, followed by the September 5 low of 0.8523. Once those levels are cleared, up next would be the year-to-date (YTD) low of 0.8492.

Conversely, If EUR/GBP buyers reclaim the October 9 daily high at 0.8658, that would open the door to test the confluence of the figure and the 200-DMA at 0.8700. A decisive break would expose the May 3 high at 0.8834.

AUD/USD holds steady near 0.7200 amid escalating US-Iran tensions

AUD/USD consolidates just below its highest level since mid-May, touched on Friday, and hovers around 0.7200 at the start of a new week amid mixed cues. Hawkish RBA expectations continue to act as a tailwind for the Aussie. Meanwhile, the upbeat US NFP report lifted Fed rate hike bets, which, along with escalating US-Iran tensions, underpins the safe-haven US Dollar and caps the currency pair.

USD/JPY collapses to seven-month lows near 154.00

USD/JPY extends its decline on Monday, sliding to the area of seven-month lows near the 154.00 neighbourhood, all amid an increasingly hawkish repricing of the BoJ’s policy outlook and repatriation chatter.

Gold bounces off lows, back above $4,400

Gold builds on Friday’s losses, although it manages to regain some composure and reclaim the $4,400 mark per troy ounce on Monday. The yellow metal’s decline follows the move lower in the Greenback and steady caution ahead of key US data releases toward the end of the week.

The technical outlook for TAO is bullish as momentum strengthens and buyers target the $300 breakout.

Strong US jobs, Middle East tensions and key inflation data ahead

Good morning all, hope you enjoyed your weekend. Markets are starting the week after Friday’s stronger-than-expected US jobs report, which increased expectations that the Fed could raise rates at its September meeting. However, US markets are closed today for the Labor Day holiday, so liquidity should be lower and we may see slower price action.

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.
