EUR/USD bulls have come up for air near 1.0700 to a US session high of 1.0697 to meet resistance, both horizontal and dynamic. The US Dollar came under pressure again despite a slew of inflationary data over the last several days and the EUR/USD bears are out in force:

EUR/USD has broken through numerous supports casting a bearish shadow in its tracks that leaves scope for a downside continuation should the 1.0650s give out in the forthcoming days. We have seen a move up into the third day of shorts and a positive close on Thursday will give rise to the prospects of a deeper correction of the recent bearish run.

Following an early pullback to multi-week lows near 1.1670, EUR/USD now manages to reclaim the 1.1700 region as the NA session draws to a close on Monday. The steep retracement in spot follows the equally strong move higher in the US Dollar, as investors continue to assess the geopolitical landscape in the wake of the US and Israel attacks on Iran.

GBP/USD hits new yearly lows near 1.3300

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold eases some ground, approaches $5,300

Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance, reshifting its attenton to the $5,300 zone per troy ounce at the beginning of the week. Indeed, the yellow metal’s firm performance appears propped up by incresing geopolitical jitters in the Middle East, which at the same time fuels the demand for the safe-haven space.
