EUR/USD Technical Analysis: A test of the 55-day SMA around 1.1050 stays on the table

EUR/USD has managed to rebound from recent lows near 1.1100 the figure and advanced to the 1.1160/65 band earlier today, where it lost some vigour.
The expected dovish tone from the ECB event later today carries the potential to spark another challenge of the 1.1100 neighbourhood.
If the selling impetus gathers further traction, then the critical 55-day SMA in the mid-1.10s would become the next target of relevance.

AUD/USD struggles near 0.7100 ahead of RBA Bullock's speech

AUD/USD stays defensive near 0.7100 in the Asian session on Tuesday, shrugging off hawkish comments from RBA Assistant Governor Sarah Hunter as traders keenly await a speech from RBA Governor Michele Bullock. Meanwhile, escalating tensions in the Middle East and the Fed's hawkish outlook remain supportive of the bullish US Dollar undertone, weighing on the pair. The crucial Trump-Xi summit is later this week and remains in focus.

USD/JPY holds small gains near 157.50 as JPY intervention risks loom

USD/JPY posts modest gains while trading near 157.50 in the Asian session on Tuesday as intervention fears help limit losses for the Japanese Yen. However, the BoJ's dovish rate hike to a 31-year high keeps JPY bulls on the back foot. Meanwhile, the US Dollar retains a bullish undertone amid the Fed's hawkish outlook and escalating Middle East tensions, providing tailwinds for the pair.

Gold benefits from falling US bond yields; remains below $4,400 amid bullish USD

Gold regains positive traction during the Asian session on Tuesday, though it lacks bullish conviction and remains below $4,400. Falling oil prices ease inflation fears, dragging US bond yields lower and supporting the non-yielding yellow metal. Meanwhile, the Fed's hawkish stance, along with escalating Middle East tensions, keeps the US Dollar near its highest level since late July and acts as a headwind for the bullion.

Ethereum (ETH) climbed above $2,700 on Monday after investors defended the realized price level despite negative sentiment over the Clarity Act's failure and the Federal Reserve rate hike. After the Clarity Act failed to advance in the Senate, ETH dipped below $2,400 last week. But right below that price is the top altcoin's realized price, or average on-chain cost basis, at $2,310.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected
