EUR/USD extends its losses for the second consecutive day, trading around 1.0710 during the Asian session on Wednesday. A technical analysis of the daily chart suggests a bearish bias for the pair, as it consolidates within the descending channel.

Additionally, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) momentum indicator is positioned below the 50 level, suggesting a confirmation of a bearish bias for the EUR/USD pair.

The EUR/USD pair could find immediate support at the psychological level of 1.0700. A break below this level could exert downward pressure on the pair to test the throwback support at the level of 1.0670.

Further decline would strengthen the bearish bias, and the pair could navigate the region around the lower boundary of the descending channel near the 1.0640 level.

On the upside, the EUR/USD pair could meet the immediate barrier at the 14-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.0743. A breakthrough above this level could lead the pair to test the area around the psychological level of 1.0800 and the upper boundary of the descending channel nearing the level of 1.0810.

Further resistance appears at the vicinity of the significant level of 1.0900 and a three-month high at 1.0915, which was recorded on June 4.

USD/JPY eyes August swing low, near 155.20 ahead of US NFP

USD/JPY retests the August monthly swing low during the Asian session on Friday as a more hawkish repricing of BoJ rate-hike bets and a suspected intervention continue to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar is seen consolidating the previous day's heavy losses amid soft US bond yields, further weighing on the currency pair as traders keenly await the US NFP report.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7200; US NFP awaited

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7200, near its highest level since mid-May, as bulls await the US NFP report for more cues on the Fed's policy path before placing fresh bets. Meanwhile, the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near its lowest level in over a week and acts as a tailwind for the Aussie amid the RBA's hawkish tilt.

Gold tumbles as blockbuster US NFP lift US Dollar, Treasury yields

Gold (XAU/USD) falls sharply on Friday, snapping a two-day recovery after the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report surprised strongly to the upside. The metal briefly climbed above $4,500 on Thursday, gaining nearly 2%, but has since erased a large part of that advance.

Crypto’s $638 million buyback boom may not be as bullish as it looks

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols reportedly spent $638 million to buy back their native tokens in August, up 17% from a year earlier. On the surface, the buyback trend suggests the cryptocurrency industry is maturing fast, adopting one of Wall Street’s oldest tools to bolster valuations and distribute revenue. The headline becomes less impressive once the number is opened up.

Why hawkish Bank of Japan expectations aren't enough to sustain the Japanese Yen rally

The Japanese Yen (JPY) experienced a sudden burst higher after falling back below the 160.00 psychological mark against the US Dollar (USD) earlier this week amid a more hawkish repricing of Bank of Japan (BoJ) rate hike expectations.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
