EUR/USD starts the week on a strong note and finally manages to advance further north of the psychological 1.2000 yardstick.

The firm buying pressure is expected to meet the next interim hurdle in the 1.2050/64 band, where converge the 100-day SMA and a Fibo retracement (of the November-January rally).

Above the latter the focus of attention is forecast to shift to the February peaks around 1.2240.

Above the 200-day SMA (1.1906) the stance for EUR/USD is predicted to remain positive.

EUR/USD looks to regain the 200-day SMA

EUR/USD regains some balance and trade just above 1.1600 the figure ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The pair initially dipped to the 1.1530 zone for the first time since November, always following the stronger US Dollar and the marked flight-to-safety in the context of the ongoing Middle East crisis

Gold moves closer to $5,150 amid sustained safe-haven flows

Gold climbs back above $5,100 during the Asian session on Wednesday, moving away from an over one-week low, touched the previous day. Sustained safe-haven flow, amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, acts as a tailwind for the bullion. However, a bullish US Dollar and reduced bets for more aggressive easing by the US Fed might keep a lid on the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the US ADP report and ISM Services PMI later today.
