Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/JPY accelerates gains and trespasses the 141.00 barrier, or multi-week highs, on Tuesday.

Extra gains in the cross remains favoured for the time being, with the next target now emerging at the weekly top at 142.32 (July 21) ahead of the 2022 peak at 144.27 (June 28).

While above the 200-day SMA at 134.60, the prospects for the pair should remain constructive.

GBP/USD advances to 1.3650 region despite weak sales data

GBP/USD trades in positive territory at around 1.3650 in the European session on Friday. Although Retail Sales data from the UK came in weaker than expected, the pair holds its ground, supported by the persistent US Dollar (USD) weakness following the Treasury Department's decision to boost long-term bond purchases earlier in the week.

EUR/USD holds near 1.1700 ahead of PMI data

Gold hits fresh high since June above $4,550 as receding Fed hike bets undermine USD

Gold sticks to modest gains near its highest level since early June, touched earlier this Friday, and trades just above $4,550 heading into the European session. The commodity is looking to build on the breakout momentum above a technically significant 200-day Simple Moving Average amid a weaker US Dollar. Traders scaled back their bets on an immediate interest rate hike by the Fed after the latest US inflation data released last week signaled signs of cooling price pressures.

Bulls in control with Bitcoin heading toward $80,000, Ethereum $2,500, XRP $1.50

The great bond-market repricing: Why deficits, geopolitics and AI are driving long-term yields higher

Long-term yields have surged across the US, Europe, the UK and Japan, with several benchmarks reaching levels not seen for more than a decade.

$20 billion offered, $2 billion taken: Why Treasury doubled its buyback cap

The US Treasury moved off its own calendar on Wednesday, and that is the part worth sitting with. At 12:32 GMT, the department said it would at least double the size of liquidity support buyback operations in the 10-year to 20-year and 20-year to 30-year sectors, lifting the maximum from $2 billion per operation to at least $4 billion, effective September 9 and running to November 4.
