The EUR/USD broke to the downside and added to its daily losses. The pair reached a fresh weekly low at 1.1363. It is trading near the bottom, headed to the lowest close since January 24.

The negative tone remains intact as the US dollar gains across the board. It even erased losses versus the yen. The US Dollar Index hit 96.37, a fresh 1-week highs. At the same time, US yields bounced back with the 10-year back to 2.70%. Equity prices in Wall Street are flat. The Dow Jones is up just 0.03% and the Nasdaq losses 0.25%.

The EUR/USD is falling for the third day in a row. Since the beginning of the week lost almost a hundred pips and pulled back 150 pips from last week peak. The rally of the US dollar started after the euro was rejected from above 1.1500.

Now the next strong support is seen around 1.1350. Below that level, the January low at 1.1287 would be exposed. Technical indicators in the daily chart start to point to more losses. The euro needs to rise back above 1.1400 to remove the negative tone.

EUR/USD sticks to positive bias above 1.1800 as trade jitters undermine USD

The EUR/USD pair builds on the previous day's modest gains and attracts some buyers for the second straight day on Thursday amid a softer US Dollar. Spot prices, however, lack bullish conviction and trade around the 1.1815-1.1820 area during the Asian session, up 0.10% for the day.

GBP/USD bounces as soft CPI boosts BoE cut bets

GBP/USD rose 0.42% on Wednesday, recovering toward 1.3600 in a session shaped by softer-than-expected UK inflation data and broad US Dollar weakness. The pair had been consolidating in a tight range between about 1.3450 and 1.3520 for the past few days following the sharp pullback from the late-January high near 1.3870, and Wednesday's move pushed price action back onto the high side of key moving averages.

Gold retains positive bias amid sustained safe-haven demand, softer USD

Gold attracts some buyers for the second straight day as trade jitters and geopolitical tensions ahead of the US-Iran nuclear talks underpin demand for safe-haven assets. Apart from this, a softer US Dollar further supports the bullion, though the underlying bullish sentiment could cap gains. Bulls might also opt to wait for acceptance above the $5,200 mark before positioning for any meaningful appreciating move.

AUD/USD rises toward three-year highs on RBA rate hike bets

AUD/USD remains stronger for the third successive session, trading around 0.7120 during the Asian hours on Thursday. The pair advances toward its three-year high of 0.7147, last touched on February 12, as the Australian Dollar strengthens following hotter-than-expected inflation data from Australia, reinforcing expectations of further interest rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of Australia this year.
