EUR/GBP: Rebound tests key averages – Societe Generale

Societe Generale’s Kenneth Broux and colleagues note that EUR/GBP has bounced from February’s 0.8610 support and is now approaching its 200‑day moving average. The bank highlights nearby resistance at 0.8720 and 0.8765 and warns that a drop back below 0.8630 could revive the broader downtrend in the cross over the coming days.

Cross rebounds off February support

"EUR/GBP successfully defended the graphical support at 0.8610, corresponding to the February trough, and has since staged a modest rebound towards the 200‑DMA."

"It will be important to observe whether EUR/GBP can establish itself above this moving average."

"The next resistance levels are located at a projection of 0.8720, followed by the upper boundary of the descending channel near 0.8765."

"A failure to hold above last week’s low at 0.8630 could trigger a resumption of the down trend."

"Technically, the pair continues to trade heavy and it will be important to observe whether it can carve out a higher low than 1.1411 and attempt a rebound from there into April."

AUD/USD comes under renewed and quite strong selling pressure ahead of the Asia opening bell on Friday, drifting back toward multi-day troughs near 0.7150, where it seems to have met some decent contention for now. The Aussie’s decline follows the inflation-reignited uptick in the Greenback in response to robust US factory-gate prices in August.


USD/JPY consolidates around 153.50 as bears turn cautious ahead of US inflation

USD/JPY stabilizes above 153.50 during the Asian session on Thursday, but remains near a seven-month low set earlier this week as hawkish BoJ repricing continues to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, rising September Fed rate-hike bets and escalating US-Iran tensions help ease US Dollar selling pressure, offering some support to the currency pair ahead of US inflation figures.

Gold remains weak, retargets $4,350

Gold keeps the choppy price action on Thursday, now slipping back toward the $4,350 region per troy ounce amid the robust bounce in the US Dollar as well as rising US Treasury yields across the curve, particularly following US Producer Prices and ahead of Friday’s more relevant US CPI data.

Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight
