EUR/USD Price Analysis: Further gains on the table above 1.0790

EUR/USD appears under pressure in the low-1.0700s.
The resistance line around 1.0790 caps the upside so far.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/USD remains slightly on the defensive, although it manages well to keep the trade above the 1.0700 m ark so far on Wednesday.

The surpass of the 3-month resistance line, today around 1.0790, should see the downside pressure subsided and this could spark a fresh bout of strength in the near term. Against that, the next target of note then emerges at the weekly high at 1.0936 (April 21).

In the longer run, the pair’s bearish view is expected to prevail as long as it trades below the 200-day SMA at 1.1242.

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.

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

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.
