After posting strong gains on Friday, the EUR/USD pair started the new week in a calm manner and continues to move sideways below 1.1800 during the American trading hours. As of writing, the pair was down 0.15% on the day at 1.1775.

DXY edges modestly higher on Monday

In the absence of high-tier macroeconomic data releases and fundamental drivers, the USD's market valuation is driving EUR/USD's movements on Monday. Supported by the risk-off flows, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is staying in the positive territory above 92.60 in the second half of the day.

Nevertheless, the more-than-2% decline witnessed in the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield is limiting DXY's upside and helping EUR/USD consolidate its losses.

On Tuesday, second-quarter GDP data from the euro area will be looked upon for fresh impetus. Investors expect the eurozone economy to expand by 13.7% on a yearly basis. Later in the day, July Retail Sales and Industrial Production data will be featured in the US economic docket.

Meanwhile, the latest CFTC Positioning report revealed that net longs in the EUR declined to the lowest level in more than a year.

British Pound eases to 1.3450 area following downwardly revised Manufacturing PMI data

The British Pound is trimming previous gains against the US Dollar on Monday, returning to the mid-range of the 1.3400s down from fresh seven-week highs, above 1.3500 earlier on the day. Weaker-than-expected UK manufacturing data added pressure on the Pound, which rallied at the Asian session opening, amid news of a halt to the hostilities in Iran.

EUR/USD struggles above 1.1500 despite USD weakness

EUR/USD struggles with its recovery above 1.1500 in European trading on Monday, despite broad US Dollar weakness and improved risk sentiment.

Traders will closely monitor the developments surrounding US-Iran negotiations and US ISM PMI data.

Gold extends range play below $4,100 as rebounding USD meets receding Fed hike bets

Gold struggles to capitalize on a modest weekly bullish gap opening, and remains below the $4,100 mark heading into the European session. The US Dollar stages a modest recovery from its lowest level since June 17, which is seen capping the upside for the commodity. The upside for the USD, however, seems limited amid renewed hopes for a US-Iran peace deal and receding US Fed rate-hike expectations.

Week ahead: US payrolls report and AI earnings to keep investors on edge

After the Fed decision, NFP report awaited for more rate hike clues. Employment also on the agenda in Canada and New Zealand. Chinese trade and Japanese wage data to be watched too. But Iran and AI headlines to remain in driver’s seat for risk sentiment.

Solana risks a steeper decline below $70 despite steady ETF inflows

Solana (SOL) is trading in the red, losing bullish momentum and remaining capped below its 50-day Exponential Moving Average at $75.68. SOL-focused Exchange Traded Funds show resilience with a monthly inflow of $14.62 million in July, while the near-term retail support wanes with the funding rate turning negative.

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
