The Euro (EUR) dropped to a three-day low against the US Dollar (USD), though it remains bullish according to the daily chart, as Wednesday’s price action formed a ‘hammer’ preceded by a downtrend. Although it warrants further upside is expected, the break of crucial resistance levels must be achieved to extend the rally. The EUR/USD trades at 1.0884, down 0.03%.

To cement the uptrend, EUR/USD buyers need to reclaim the 1.0900 figure. Once done, the next resistance level would be the November 21 swing high at 1.0965, followed by the 1.1000 figure. A breach of the latter would expose the August 10 high at 1.1065.

Conversely, if EUR/USD stays below 1.0900 and extends its losses past the November 22 low of 1.0852, that could exacerbate the pair’s drop to challenge the 200-day moving average (DMA) at 1.0808. If buyers surrender the latter, the major would fall toward the 1.0700 mark.

AUD/USD stays weak above 0.6900 after China’s trade data

AUD/USD struggles to capitalize on the previous day’s recovery and stays defensive on the 0.6900 level following the narrowing of trade surplus in China.

Gold meets fresh supply, eroding a part of the previous day's strong gains to the $4,150 resistance zone, albeit it holds above the $4,100 mark heading into the European session. Firming US Federal Reserve rate-hike expectations turn out to be a key factor driving flows away from the non-yielding bullion. Meanwhile, the US Dollar struggles to lure buyers amid mixed signals regarding the state of diplomatic talks between the US and Iran, offering some support to the commodity as traders seem hesitant ahead of US consumer inflation figures.
