EUR/GBP rallies on Wednesday, after the release of inflation in the UK, spurred a knee-jerk reaction, with most Pound Sterling (GBP) Currency pairs gaining to the detriment of the GBP. At the time of writing, the EUR/GBP is trading at 0.8597, above its opening price by 0.52%, after hitting a low of 0.8524.

EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Technical outlook

From a daily chart perspective, the EUR/GBP is downward biased, though testing the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.8595, which, if breached, will put the 0.8600 figure for grabs. It should be said; in the near term, the EUR/GBP bias is neutral to slightly upward, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator aims up, about to turn bullish. Moreover, the three-day Rate of Change (RoC) is the largest since March 23.

If the EUR/GBP surpasses those levels, the next stop would be the 50-day EMA at 0.8664. Upside risks lie at the confluence of the 200 and the 100-day EMAs, at 0.8702 and 0.8708, respectively. However, if EUR/GBP resumes its downtrend, the first support would be the June 20 daily high at 0.8581, followed by the psychological 0.8550 area. Once broken, the EUR/GBP's next support would be the year-to-date (YTD) low of 0.8518.

AUD/USD trims losses, still near 0.6900

AUD/USD remains well on the defensive, adding to Wednesday’s pullback and trading close to the key 0.6900 contention zone ahead of the opening bell in Asia.

Bitcoin (BTC) recovered near $82,000 on Thursday after briefly falling below $80,000, paring losses triggered by hotter-than-expected US inflation data. September PPI inflation rose 6.3% YoY, exceeding forecasts of 5.3% and marking its second-highest level since November 2022. Core PPI inflation climbed to 5% annually, above expectations of 4.4%.

The Iran war will eventually end. Tariffs won't. Here's the problem

Two cost shocks are in the September Consumer Price Index (CPI), and they have different half-lives. Energy is up 20.4% on the year and accounts for about 1.3 points of the 3.7% headline, and that shock reverses when Oil does: Brent was back at its pre-war price on July 1 and above $100 again by the end of the month, after the ceasefire collapsed on July 8.

Everyone's dumping Gold after hot US inflation. Here's why $4,100 could be a floor, not a cliff

Gold (XAU/USD) is recovering from a sharp sell-off triggered by hotter-than-expected United States (US) inflation data released on Wednesday.
