EUR/USD Price Analysis: There is a minor hurdle at 1.1100

EUR/USD advances further and records a new 2023 high.
Euro extra upside could retest the round level at 1.1100 next.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/USD keeps the bullish bias well in place and climbs to the 1.1040/50 on Thursday, or new year-to-date peaks.

The likelihood of extra advances appears favoured for the time being. Against that, the immediate target now appears at the round level at 1.1100 seconded by the weekly high at 1.1184 (March 21 2022).

Looking at the longer run, the constructive view remains unchanged while above the 200-day SMA, today at 1.0364.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7200 after hot Chinese CPI data

AUD/USD is extending its consolidative price action above 0.7200 during the Asian session on Wednesday, uninspired by hot Chinese CPI and PPI data. Meanwhile, rising RBA rate-hike bets act as a tailwind for the Aussie amid Yen-inspired US Dollar weakness. Traders await the release of US inflation figures later in the week for fresh impetus.

USD/JPY stays weak near 153.50 amid aggressive BoJ hike bets

USD/JPY attracts fresh sellers in the Asian session on Wednesday as the strong Reuters Tankan business survey adds to the case for continued BoJ policy normalisation and boosts the Japanese Yen. This, along with a broadly weaker US Dollar, keeps the pair close to a nearly seven-month low set on Tuesday.

Gold rebounds from $4,350; will it last?

Gold is rebounding from a one-week low near $4,350 in the Asian session on Wednesday. The US Dollar, however, struggles to lure buyers amid a rallying Yen, supporting the commodity as traders await the key US inflation data for a fresh impetus. However, the rebound could be short-lived amid expectations of a Fed rate hike this month.

Inflation risks keep interest rates high

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East and resulting disruptions in the energy markets are driving up inflation expectations and keeping upward pressure on bond yields high. In the Eurozone, heightened inflation risks and robust growth in economic demand point to another ECB rate hike to 2.5% in September.

Gold and stocks: What eight midterm elections did

I went back through every midterm election since 1994 and asked one question of each: when did the stock market make its low for the year, before the vote or after it? In seven of the eight cycles, the low came before the election. In six of the eight, it came between mid-June and mid-October, which is to say in the exact window that the "they won't let it fall" argument says is protected.

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.
