EUR/USD bulls take a breather around 1.0570, following a three-day uptrend, as traders await the preliminary PMIs for June month from Eurozone and the US during early Thursday.

Even so, the major currency pair defends the previous day’s breakout of the 10-DMA, the first since early June, which in turn keeps buyers hopeful. Additionally suggesting the quote’s further upside is the looming bull cross of the MACD.

With this, the EUR/USD buyers are all set to challenge the 1.0610 hurdle comprising the 50-DMA and the 21-DMA.

It should be noted, however, that the pair’s ability to cross the 1.0610 key resistance will propel it towards a two-month-old downward sloping resistance line, at 1.0690 by the press time.

On the contrary, pullback moves remain elusive until the EUR/USD prices remain beyond the 10-DMA level of 1.0500.

Following that, a one-week-long support line, close to 1.0485 at the latest, will act as an additional downside filter before directing the pair towards the recently flashed multi-month low of 1.0349.

AUD/USD remains offered; supported by 0.7100

AUD/USD adds to Monday’s retracement, although it manages well to keep the trade above the 0.7100 yardstick ahead of the opening bell in Asia. Once again, the softer tone in spot follows decent gains in the Greenback amid rising bets for a Fed rate hike on Wednesday.

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.

Bitcoin pulls back as valuation ceilings hold while XAU weakness persists

Bitcoin (BTC) corrects alongside the broader cryptocurrency market on Tuesday as selling persists ahead of the United States (US) Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy decision. Market participants expect the central bank to raise interest rates to 3.75%-4.00% on Wednesday, potentially weighing on risk assets.

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.
