EUR/USD’s corrective downside meets support around 1.2000.
The resumption of the uptrend targets the 1.2100 level.

EUR/USD retreats further after climbing to as low as the 1.2080 region earlier in the week.

The current leg lower is deemed as temporary, with the resumption of the upside should target recent tops near 1.2080 ahead of the 1.2100 level.

A convincing break above the latter should expose the February highs around 1.2240 ahead of the 2021 peaks in the mid-1.2300s.

Above the 200-day SMA (1.1913) the stance for EUR/USD is predicted to remain positive.

AUD/USD picks up bids above 0.7100 after RBA-speak

AUD/USD picks up bids above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Tuesday, following hawkish comments from RBA Assistant Governor Sarah Hunter and Governor Michele Bullock. However, escalating tensions in the Middle East and the Fed's hawkish outlook remain supportive of the bullish US Dollar undertone, which could limit the pair. The crucial Trump-Xi summit is later this week and remains in focus.

USD/JPY posts modest gains while trading near 157.50 in the Asian session on Tuesday as intervention fears help limit losses for the Japanese Yen. However, the BoJ's dovish rate hike to a 31-year high keeps JPY bulls on the back foot. Meanwhile, the US Dollar retains a bullish undertone amid the Fed's hawkish outlook and escalating Middle East tensions, providing tailwinds for the pair.

Gold drops to three-day low, eyes $4,300 as hawkish Fed and Iran risks underpin USD

Gold turns lower for the second consecutive day following a modest intraday uptick, dropping to the $4,315 region, or a three-day low heading into the European session on Tuesday. The US Federal Reserve's hawkish outlook is seen as a key factor driving flows away from the non-yielding yellow metal.

Bitcoin pauses rally as profit-taking reaches yearly high

Bitcoin takes a breather, facing a pullback, trading below $85,500 on Tuesday after surging 6.7% the previous day.

Energy and risk markets remain in the driver’s seat

US stock markets rallied up 2.26% (Nasdaq) yesterday with AI/tech names leading the advance. The Nasdaq even tested the all-time high reached early June. The likes of the S&P 500 and EuroStoxx50 recovered up to 1.5%. Positive risk vibes and lower energy prices supported consolidation on bond markets following the past month’s heavy losses. European yield curves bull steepened.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks.
