EUR/USD recovers recent losses recorded in the previous session, trading higher near 1.0670 during the Asian session on Friday. The EUR/USD pair experienced losses due to the hawkish remarks from US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell during a panel discussion at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) event on Thursday.

Fed Chair Powell's acknowledgment that current policies may not be sufficiently restrictive to curb inflation reinforces the possibility of at least one more rate hike. As a result, US Treasury yields surged by nearly 3.0%, contributing to underpinning the US Dollar (USD). The US Dollar Index (DEX) approached the 106.00 psychological level after a subdued performance, with the yield on a 10-year US bond coupon marking a 4.65% intraday high on Thursday.

In the week ending November 4, US weekly Initial Jobless Claims stood at 217K, slightly below both the market forecast of 218K and the previous week's figure of 220K. This outcome can potentially reinforce confidence in a robust labor market in the United States (US), offering additional support for the Greenback. This support, in turn, can influence the performance of the EUR/USD pair.

The Euro (EUR) faces challenges due to mixed signals regarding the European Central Bank's (ECB) next policy move. Market pricing suggests a 30% chance of a cut in March. ECB Vice President Luis de Guindos mentioned on Thursday that it is premature to begin discussing interest rate cuts, potentially adding pressure on the Euro.

China's inflation data for October revealed a decline compared to the earlier recorded growth. The deteriorating economic conditions in China are dampening investors' enthusiasm for riskier assets like EUR/USD pair.

Investors are on the lookout for the preliminary US Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index for November and the UoM 5-year Consumer Inflation Expectation. Additionally, attention will also be on ECB President Christine Lagarde's participation in an event in London on Friday. These events hold the potential to provide further insights for traders of the EUR/USD pair.

AUD/USD pulls back from monthly high but holds above 0.7000

AUD/USD retreats from the monthly high set earlier this Thursday, sliding back to 0.7000 during the Asian session as a further escalation of tensions in the Middle East undermines the risk-sensitive Aussie. However, recent hawkish comments from RBA officials could support the Australian Dollar. Furthermore, the prevailing US Dollar selling bias, despite Fed hike bets and geopolitical uncertainties, could limit losses for the pair.

USD/JPY declines to a one-week low; eyes trading range support near 157.50 on weaker USD

USD/JPY drops to a one-week low during Thursday’s Asian session, with bears now awaiting a break below multi-week range support near mid-157.00s before placing fresh bets amid a broadly weaker US Dollar. Despite bets for a December Fed rate hike and Middle East jitters, the recent decline in US bond yields keeps USD depressed near a three-week low. Moreover, hawkish BoJ expectations and intervention risks underpin the Japanese Yen, further weighing on the currency pair.

Gold extends fall below $4,100 as Fed hike bets counter USD weakness

Gold weakens further below $4,100, hitting a fresh one-week low as oil-driven inflation risks reinforce Fed hike bets and weigh on the bullion heading into the European session. Meanwhile, falling US bond yields keep the US Dollar depressed near a three-week low despite geopolitical uncertainties. This, however, does little to support the non-yielding bullion, backing the case for further losses.

Cardano: Weak momentum puts ADA recovery at risk

Cardano (ADA) is trading below $0.222 on Thursday after failing to sustain gains above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average near $0.228 the previous day. Weakening derivatives metrics and fading bullish momentum continue to weigh on sentiment, while a break below the 100-day EMA could push ADA lower.

Dow Jones Industrial Average climbs with the AI trade, led by a bank

The Dow Jones Industrial Average got most of its share of Wednesday's artificial intelligence (AI) rally from a bank and a bulldozer maker. The index closed near 52,800, its highest close since early September. SpaceX (SPCX) reported 161% revenue growth and the Nasdaq Composite rose more than 1%, but under price weighting the gains that counted most belonged to Goldman Sachs (GS) and Caterpillar (CAT).

The US Dollar fell. Gold didn't rally. That tells you everything

Gold (XAU/USD) is struggling to capitalize on a weaker US Dollar (USD), after repeatedly failing to establish itself above the $4,200 level. The precious metal remains confined to a relatively narrow trading range despite a combination of developments that would normally support higher prices.
