EUR/USD picks up bids to refresh a one-week high with 1.1066 as bulls keep the reins during early Tuesday, portraying a four-day uptrend of late.

The Euro pair’s latest rebound could be linked to its successful rebound from the one-month-old ascending support line, as well as an upward-sloping trend line from the mid-March, respectively near 1.0985 and 1.0955 in that order.

However, a downward-sloping resistance line from early February 2023, close to 1.1085 at the latest, could join the nearly overbought conditions of the RSI (14) line to challenge the EUR/USD bulls past 1.1085.

Even if the quote remains firmer past 1.1085, the 1.1100 psychological magnet can prod the EUR/USD bulls before directing them to the March 2022 peak of around 1.1185.

On the contrary, EUR/USD bears may initially aim for the 1.1000 round figure before highlighting the aforementioned support lines near 1.0985 and 1.0955.

It should be noted that March’s high of around 1.0930 can act as an extra filter towards the south if at all the Euro pair drops below 1.0955 support.

Following that, the monthly low of near 1.0788 gains the market’s attention and give control to the EUR/USD bears.

Overall, EUR/USD is likely to remain firmer even if the upside room appears limited.

GBP/USD revisits 1.3530; Dollar pushes harder

GBP/USD adds to the weekly correction and recedes toward the 1.3530 zone on Friday. Indeed, Cable faces increasing selling pressure on the back of extra gains in the Greenback, particularly fuelled by Chair Warsh’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium and the US NFP Annual Revision (-79K).

EUR/USD breaches below 1.1600, multi-day lows

EUR/USD now accelerates its decline and retreats to seven-day troughs in the sub-1.1600 region at the end of the week. The pair’s pullback comes on the back of the strong rebound in the US Dollar after Chair Warsh delivered a hawkish message in Jackson Hole, while the US NFP Annual Revision came in at -79K.

Gold seems vulnerable above $4,450 as Fed hike bets, Iran risks support USD

Gold recovers slightly from a one-and-a-half-week low, touched during the Asian session on Monday, though any meaningful recovery seems elusive. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech was perceived as hawkish, raising expectations for a September rate hike. Adding to this, fresh US strikes on Iran keep the geopolitical risk premium in play, which acts as a tailwind for the safe-haven US Dollar and should cap the bullion.

Week ahead: RBNZ and BoC decide on rates ahead of all-important US NFP

The US dollar staged a modest recovery this week, perhaps as traders decided to cover some of their short positions amid slightly stickier or in-line US PCE inflation numbers for July, confounding expectations of softer prints amid the softness revealed in the CPI data for the month.

CFTC Report: CAD short covering leads; Gold buying surges

The week in one sentence: speculative positioning shifted more constructively in the week to August 25. CAD short covering led the move, followed by a broad reduction in EUR shorts and renewed Gold buying. GBP and VIX positioning also improved, while JPY positioning deteriorated and WTI flows diverged from weaker prices.

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.
