EUR/USD Technical Analysis: The pair remains supported by the 200-day/week SMAs

EUR/USD is extending the multi-session sideline theme after being rejected from 3-month tops beyond 1.1400 the figure on Tuesday.
Firm support appeared, however, around the mid-1.1300s, where sit the 200-day/week SMAs. The resumption of the bull run should meet initial hurdle at this week’s peak near 1.1420 ahead of the more relevant 1.1450, or March tops.
This important hurdle is considered the last defence for a visit of 2019 highs in the 1.1550/70 band.
Of note, however, is the bearish ‘outside day’ charted yesterday, which could be a prologue for a move lower in the next days, particularly if spot fails to re-test/surpass recent tops above 1.1400.

USD/JPY extends sell-off below 157.00 on hawkish BoJ repricing

AUD/USD ranges above 0.7150 despite upbeat Chinese PMI

AUD/USD struggles to capitalize on the previous day's bounce from a nearly two-week low and ranges above 0.7150 in Asia on Thursday, as dismal Australian trade data counter upbeat China's RatingDog Services PMI.

Gold sticks to gains below $4,450 amid weaker USD

Gold maintains its bid tone heading into the European session, though it remains below $4,450 amid mixed fundamental cues. Sliding US bond yields and Wednesday's soft US ADP report weigh on the US Dollar, assisting the commodity build on the previous day's goodish recovery from a nearly four-week low. That said, firming US Federal Reserve rate-hike expectations and inflation risks stemming from higher energy prices could act as a tailwind for US bond yields.
