EUR/JPY Technical Analysis: Upside regains traction. Next target at the 21-day SMA at 118.20

EUR/JPY is adding to yesterday’s gains and is now looking to challenge the interim hurdle at the 10-day SMA in the 117.60 zone.
Further up lies the 21-day SMA at 118.18. Beyond this area the cross is expected to attempt a visit to mid-August peak at 119.58.
The inability to regain serious upside traction and the persistent uncertainty around the United States-China trade war and its effects on the safe havens keeps the cross under almost permanent pressure. That said, another visit to yearly lows in the 116.50 region should not be ruled out for the time being.

EUR/USD trims gains, back below 1.1800

EUR/USD now loses some upside momentum, returning to the area below the 1.1800 support as the Greenback manages to regain some composure following the SCOTUS-led pullback earlier in the session.

GBP/USD off highs, recedes to the sub-1.3500 area

Following earlier highs north of 1.3500 the figure, GBP/USD now faces some renewed downside pressure, revisiting the 1.3490 zone as the US Dollar manages to regain some upside impulse in the latter part of the NA session on Friday.

Gold climbs to weekly tops, approaches $5,100/oz

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place at the end of the week, now hitting fresh weekly highs and retargeting the key $5,100 mark per troy ounce. The move higher in the yellow metal comes in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and modest losses in the US Dollar.
