The EUR/JPY begins the week on a lower note, posting losses of 0.17% on Monday amid a risk-on impulse. The cross-currency pair's upward move was quickly rejected at a multi-month support trendline turned resistance, opening the door for a pullback. Therefore, the pair is trading at 157.92 as Tuesday’s Asian session begins, almost flat.

The cross-pair base shifted bearish after diving below the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo). That along with the cross of the Tenkan-Sen below the Kijun-Sen, has kept the EUR/JPY capped below the 159.00 figure. If sellers would like to extend the downtrend, they must drag prices below the Tenkan-Sen at 157.03, followed by the Kijun-Sen at 156.48, as the pair extends its losses toward 156.00.

On the other hand, if the EUR/JPY reverses its course and achieves a daily close above 158.50, that could open the door for a test of 159.00. On further strength, the pair would aim towards the bottom of the Kumo at 159.30, ahead of challenging 160.00.

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.

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
