EUR/USD continues the winning streak, trading around a three-month high at 1.0920 during the Asian session on Monday. The pair seems to approach immediate resistance around the major level at 1.0950 as the US Dollar (USD) faces pressure on the likelihood of the Federal Reserve (Fed) to conclude its interest rate-hike cycle.

A breakthrough above the latter could support the bulls of the EUR/USD pair to target the next barrier at the 1.1000 psychological level, following August’s high at 1.1064.

The ongoing upward trend is backed by the technical indicators for the EUR/USD pair. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) above the 50 level signals bullish sentiment, indicating a stronger momentum for the pair.

Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line lies above the centerline, with divergence above the signal line, suggesting a bullish momentum in the EUR/USD pair.

On the downside, the psychological level at 1.0900 emerges as a key support, following the next major level at 1.0850. A firm break below the level could put pressure on the EUR/USD pair to navigate the region around the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.0819, aligning with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 1.0811.

GBP/USD surrenders some gains, back to 1.3420

GBP/USD holds on to moderate gains above 1.3400 the figure on Friday. Optimism surrounding the UK government’s leadership transition and expectations of further BoE tightening support the British Pound, while easing tensions in the Middle East and fading Fed rate-hike expectations weigh on the US Dollar.

EUR/USD turns positive, targets 1.1450

EUR/USD now picks up pace and advances toward the 1.1440 region on Friday, up modestly for the day. With no major economic data due, lingering uncertainty over the US-Iran conflict keeps investors cautious, limiting the pair's upside.

Gold remains offered, still below $4,100

Gold struggles to extend Thursday’s rebound and navigates below the $4,100 mark per troy ounce on Friday. Uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict limits the precious metal’s upside, which is also under pressure amid rising US Treasury yields across the curve.

Week ahead – US CPI and Warsh testimony to take centre stage, BoC eyed too

US inflation report and Warsh testimony to headline the week. Dollar to dominate amid slew of other US data and Mideast tensions. Amid fresh Iran escalation, China GDP to shed light on Q2 impact. Bank of Canada not expected to follow RBNZ with rate hike.

Five sessions, one round trip: Why the whipsaw is exactly what Warsh ordered

Markets opened July with a December hike as the base case and spent five trading sessions unlearning and relearning it. A 57K payrolls print bled the tightening bets out of the strip; a re-shut Strait of Hormuz is pushing them back in. Wednesday's minutes from the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting landed mid-round-trip, describing a world that had already stopped existing.
