EUR/USD takes offers to renew intraday low around 1.0790 as it extends the previous U-turn from a short-term key hurdle during early Monday. Adding strength to the downside bias is the clear break of a two-week-old support line, now resistance, as well as the receding bullish bias of the MACD. It should be observed that the RSI (14) line retreats towards the 50 level, which in turn suggests further grinding towards the south.

Hence, the EUR/USD price is well-set to test the 1.0730 support confluence including the 50-DMA and 21-DMA as traders begin the key week.

In a case where the Euro pair remains weaker past 1.0730, the 1.0700 threshold may act as an intermediate halt before directing the major currency pair towards the previous monthly low surrounding 1.0520-15.

On the flip side, the support-turned-resistance line and the aforementioned horizontal resistance area, respectively near 1.0880 and 1.0930, challenge the EUR/USD pair buyers.

Following that, the 1.1000 psychological magnet may act as an intermediate halt before directing the Euro bulls towards the February 2023 high of around 1.1035.

Overall, EUR/USD is likely to decline further but the downside room below 1.0730 appears limited.

AUD/USD softens as risk-off mood meets FOMC countdown

The Aussie Dollar loses 0.11% against the Greenback on Tuesday as risk appetite remains negative amid calls from AI company CEOs to slow development, while the FOMC monetary policy meeting looms. Expectations for a Fed rate hike undermine the AUD/USD, which trades at 0.7130.

USD/JPY extends gains toward 155.00 amid USD resurgence

USD/JPY keeps pushing higher toward 155.00 early Tuesday, looking for more upside, as traders await the FOMC and BoJ meetings this week. Meanwhile, Fed rate-hike bets and oil-driven inflation risks keep US bond yields near multi-year highs, supporting the US Dollar and the pair. That said, a more hawkish repricing of the BoJ normalization path might continue to underpin the Japanese Yen and could limit USD/JPY's upside. .

Gold set to fall toward $4,000 as Warsh faces a Fed rate-hike dilemma

As the Federal Reserve monetary policy announcement approaches and the Middle East war intensifies, the US Dollar resumes its advance. Gold price posted a tepid attempt to recover its shine in early August, but with renewed USD demand, the bright metal faltered miserably and is now closer to the $4,000 mark than the encouraging $4,700 peak from a month ago.

Ethereum continues to attract capital despite impending rate hike and Clarity Act failure

Ethereum declined to $2,400 on Tuesday after the Clarity Act failed to progress in the Senate. Despite that and the market's near certainty of an interest rate hike at the next Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting, the top altcoin has continued to attract fresh capital. Ethereum buyers have been dominating sellers over the past few days.

How Japan became the World's Banker and why that era may be ending

Japan's ultra-low interest rates helped finance trillions of dollars in global investments for more than a decade, making the Japanese Yen one of the world’s cheapest sources of funding. With the Bank of Japan expected to tighten policy again this week, that advantage may be entering a new phase. While most major economies raised interest rates, Japan remained the world's outlier.

Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight

The United States (US) has secured unprecedented access to part of Venezuela’s vast Oil reserves. The timing is particularly significant as the war with Iran is disrupting Middle Eastern supplies, keeping energy prices elevated and reviving concerns about inflation.
