EUR/USD Price Analysis: Another drop to the February low is not ruled out

EUR/USD resumes the downside following Thursday’s decent uptick.
A deeper decline could see the monthly low near 1.0670 retested.

EUR/USD keeps the weekly range bound theme unchanged and now breaks below the key 1.0700 support on Friday.

In case losses gather extra impulse, then the pair could rapidly challenge the so far February low at 1.0669 (February 7). The loss of the latter could pave the way for further retracement to the 2023 low at 1.0481 (January 6).

In the longer run, the constructive view remains unchanged while above the 200-day SMA, today at 1.0321.

GBP/USD strengthens to near 1.3500 as Fed rate hike bets ease

The GBP/USD pair gathers strength to near 1.3495 during the early European trading hours on Friday. The British Pound edges higher against the US Dollar as cooler-than-expected US consumer and producer price data have limited the Federal Reserve's room for further interest rate hikes. Traders will keep an eye on the US July Retail Sales report later on Friday.

EUR/USD gains as receding Fed hike bets weigh on USD; geopolitical risks cap upside

The EUR/USD pair attracts some follow-through buyers during the Asian session, and looks to build on the previous day's modest bounce from the vicinity of the 1.1500 psychological mark, or an over one-week low. Spot prices, however, remain confined in a two-week-old range and currently trade below 1.1550 amid mixed cues.

Gold extends pullback from two-month high as Iran risks counter receding Fed hike bets

Gold is seen extending the previous day's pullback from the vicinity of the $4,450 level, or the highest since June 5, and drifting lower for the second straight day. The downward trajectory dragged the commodity to a fresh weekly low, closer to the $4,300 mark during the Asian session. Persistent geopolitical uncertainties, to a large extent, offset receding US Federal Reserve rate hike bets and act as a tailwind for the safe-haven US Dollar, which is seen weighing on the commodity.

Imagine somebody repeatedly claiming to have $100,000 in the bank but refusing to produce a statement or even balance the checkbook. The money might be there, but without verification, skepticism would be reasonable.

Why is Crude Oil priced for a reopening the ships haven't made?

Fourteen vessels crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday. Before the war, the count ran near 120 a day. In the sessions since the waterway was publicly declared open, Brent has drifted back to $87 and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) to $81, both a little lower again on Wednesday, with daily momentum on each unwound from the top of its range in late July to the low twenties now.
