EUR/HUF rise faced an interim hurdle at 372.00 after breaking out from the year-long consolidation. Although the pair is staging an initial pullback, EUR/HUF is set to resume its advance towards the 375.00 level, economists at Société Générale report.

November low of 358.50 should be a near-term support

“An initial pullback is under way, however, a large downside is not envisaged; November low of 358.50 should be a near-term support.”

“The pair is likely to continue its up move gradually towards graphical levels of 369.50 and even towards projections of 375.00.”

“Only a break below 358.50 would mean a deeper pullback.”

AUD/USD flirts with 0.7000, lowest since early August amid bullish USD

AUD/USD hits a fresh low since early August during the Asian session on Friday and looks vulnerable near 0.7000 after breaking below the 200-day SMA overnight. Against the backdrop of the hawkish Fed, a two-day rally in oil prices revives inflation fears and continues to push US bond yields to multi-year highs. Adding to this, geopolitical risks lift the US Dollar to a two-month high, overshadowing RBA rate hike bets and weighing on the pair.

USD/JPY pulls back from three-week high after failing near 159.00

USD/JPY edges lower during the Asian session on Friday, stalling its recent strong move to a three-week high of 159.00 as Japanese Yen bears turn cautious amid intervention fears. Meanwhile, the US Dollar retains a strong bullish undertone as the Fed's hawkish outlook and oil-driven inflation fears continue to push US bond yields to multi-year peaks. Furthermore, the BoJ's dovish rate hike last week might cap JPY and support spot prices.

Gold struggles below $4,300 level with bears still in control
