EUR/USD Price Analysis: Room for a move to the YTD peak near 1.1100

EUR/USD recedes from earlier monthly highs past 1.1000.
Extra gains could revisit the 20223 high around 1.1100.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/USD comes under selling pressure soon after hitting fresh monthly tops north of 1.1000 the figure on Thursday.

In the meantime, the pair’s outlook remains constructive for the time being. Against that, a rapid breakout of the June high at 1.1012 (June 22) carries the potential to spark a challenge of the YTD peak at 1.1095 (April 26) just ahead of the round level at 1.1100.

Looking at the longer run, the positive view remains unchanged while above the 200-day SMA, today at 1.0559.

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 bounces off $4,425 on US Dollar pullback

Gold recovers slightly from a one-and-a-half-week low near $4,425 in 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 act 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

It has already been a positive week for the US Dollar, but a hawkish speech from Chair Kevin Warsh at the Jackson Hole Symposium may have laid the groundwork for a more sustained rebound in the Buck.

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.
