EUR/USD keeps navigating the lower bound of the recent range near the key support at 1.10 the figure.

Key resistance is seen at the 55-day SMA in the 1.1040 region. Above this level, the downside pressure should mitigate somewhat and allow for a potential test of last week’s highs in 1.1095/1.1100 band.

On the opposite side, a breakdown of this important area of contention on a sustainable fashion should reassert the downside bias and allow for a deeper move to 2019 low at 1.0879.

Gold bounces back toward $4,900, looks to FOMC Minutes

Gold is attempting a bounce from the $4,850 level, having touched a one-week low on Tuesday. Signs of progress in US–Iran talks dented demand for the traditional safe-haven bullion, weighing on Gold in early trades. However, rising bets for more Fed rate cuts keep the US Dollar bulls on the defensive and act as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal.
