EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Initial support comes in around 131.00

EUR/JPY corrects lower from recent 2021 peaks near 133.50.
Further downside should see contention in the 131.00 area.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/JPY recedes further following Wednesday’s new YTD tops in the 133.50 region.

While the ongoing knee-jerk is seen as corrective only, it is expected to meet initial support in the 131.00 neighbourhood, or May lows. A breach of this area carries the potential to extend the leg lower to the 130.70 zone, where converge the 50-day SMA and the immediate support line (off the March’s low). This area should hold the downside and prompt some reversion.

In the broader picture, while above the 200-day SMA at 126.80 the broader outlook for the cross should remain constructive.

GBP/USD edges lower but remains close to multi-month top, awaiting US PCE

The GBP/USD pair trades with a negative bias below mid-1.3600s during the Asian session, eroding a part of the previous day's strong gains. Spot prices, however, remain within striking distance of a six-month top, set last Friday, as traders keenly await the release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index data for a fresh impetus.

EUR/USD Remains sideways ahead of key US events

EUR/USD clinches humble gains around 1.1670 following Tuesday’s close on Wall Street. Indeed, marginal losses in the US Dollar encourages spot to set aside two dauly pullbacks in a row and maintain the 1.1700 barrier on the cross-hairs for now. Moving forward, US inflation tracked by the PCE and another revision of Q2 GDP data should keep investors entertained on Wednesday.

Gold trades with negative bias below $4,650 as USD edges higher ahead of US PCE

Gold attracts fresh sellers following the previous day's two-way price swings, and trades below $4,650. The US Dollar regains positive traction amid some repositioning ahead of the release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index and is seen as undermining the commodity. The crucial US inflation data, along with Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's remarks at the Jackson Hole Symposium on Friday, might offer more cues over the interest rate path.

Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe: Profit-taking cools last week’s rally

Meme coins, including Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Pepe (PEPE), are losing their bullish momentum after last week’s double-digit gains. Facing downside pressure amid profit-taking, DOGE and PEPE risk further decline while SHIB holds at a support level.

America’s self‑inflicted trade wound

I’m conflicted about the trade war that the U.S. has started with Canada. Let’s be clear: any representation that Canada has been taking unfair advantage of the U.S. or that they have been treating us badly for years is a bogus characterization. In reality, the shoe is on the other foot. It’s the U.S. that has been behaving badly.

Canada hits US goods with tariffs; The rate market sees a problem

On September 8, Canada begins charging its own importers 15%, 25% and 50% on roughly 700 lines of American goods. The measure is billed as dollar for dollar, and on the arithmetic of covered trade it is. What it is not is a tax on the United States.
