EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Technical correction has further legs to go

EUR/JPY adds to Friday’s pullback around 156.40.
Further upside could target the weekly top past 163.00.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/JPY faces some renewed downside pressure and retreats from recent multi-year peaks in levels just shy of the 157.00 barrier.

In the meantime, further gains appear on the cards, while a clear breakout of the 2023 high at 156.93 (June 22) should meet the next relevant hurdle not before the weekly high of 163.09 (August 22 2008).

The ongoing overbought conditions of the cross, however, are indicative that a deeper knee-jerk should not be ruled out at some point in the short-term horizon.

So far, further upside looks favoured while the cross trades above the 200-day SMA, today at 144.82.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7200 ahead of China's trade data

AUD/USD sits above 0.7200 in the Asian session on Tuesday, near its highest level since May 14. The US Dollar stays under pressure as a rallying Japanese Yen outweighs support from hawkish Fed bets and geopolitical tensions.

Gold rebounds toward $4,450 as USD weakness counters Fed hike bets

Gold rebounds toward $4,450 in the Asian session on Tuesday and, for now, appears to have snapped a two-day losing streak as a rallying Japanese Yen keeps the US dollar under pressure.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
