German, European Manufacturing PMI on the docket.

FXStreet Team FXStreet

EUR/USD managed to find some support in the 1.2390 region during New York yesterday, and is currently making higher lows through Tokyo. Despite the recent turnaway from the multi-year high of 1.2537, price is still finding buyers in the current price zone, or at least is unable to find the right sellers.

Data on the Docket

Plenty of economic reporting happening during the London/NY market session today, beginning with the Swiss SECO Consumer Climate at 06:45 GMT, followed by the usual battery of Markit Manufacturing PMIs for Switzerland at 08:15, Italy at 08:45, France at 08:50, Germany at 08:55, and Greece and the broad Eurozone at 09:00. Any unexpected positive news for Europe's manufacturing sector could send Euro bulls into fresh buying confidence.

Europe-UK Brexit hostilities continue to rear their heads, with the EU threatening to impose sanctions on the UK to prevent the kingdom from using Brexit as an opportunity to undermine European trading conditions.

EUR/USD Technical Levels

Daily charts are still showing a strongly-performing pair that has retraced little recently, and H4 charts are finding support on the 34 EMA at 1.2393. Tokyo session provided price resistance at 1.2425, and the daily pivot points heading into London are:

R2: 1.2513
R1: 1.2463
PP: 1.2425
S1: 1.2375
S2: 1.2337

GBP/USD drops toward 1.3500 after weak UK jobs data

GBP/USD extends losses toward 1.3500 in European trading hours on Tuesday. The UK ILO Unemployment Rate held steady at 4.9% in the three months to June, against a forecast of 4.8%, while Employment Change arrived at 83K in the same period versus 147K previous. Weak UK labor data keep the British Pound under pressure, driving the pair lower.

EUR/USD flat lines below two-month high amid oil-driven inflation fears

The EUR/USD pair holds steady around the 1.1575-1.1580 region during the Asian session, and for now seems to have stalled the previous day's modest pullback from a two-month top. However, a modest US Dollar uptick warrants some caution before positioning for the resumption of the recent move higher from the 1.1350 area, or the July monthly swing low.

Gold remains depressed below $4,400 amid oil-driven inflation fears

Gold sticks to modest intraday losses below the $4,400 mark heading into the European session on Tuesday, and seems to have snapped a two-day winning streak. The US Dollar builds on the overnight bounce from a two-month trough as inflation risks stemming from higher oil prices underpin prospects for at least one interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve in 2026.

Ripple and Stellar remain under bearish pressure as corrective declines cap upside

Ripple and Stellar remain under pressure as broader market uncertainty and weak technical momentum weigh on both altcoins. XRP is hovering below the key $1 mark on Tuesday while XLM continues its corrective decline below $0.157. Meanwhile, mixed derivatives and on-chain signals indicate cautious sentiment, leaving both cryptocurrencies vulnerable to further downside.

Silver has experienced a wild ride in 2026, but The Silver Institute President and CEO Michael DiRienzo says investors shouldn’t let the volatility obscure a much bigger story: the underlying silver market remains remarkably strong.

Why is Crude Oil priced for a reopening the ships haven't made?

Fourteen vessels crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday. Before the war, the count ran near 120 a day. In the sessions since the waterway was publicly declared open, Brent has drifted back to $87 and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) to $81, both a little lower again on Wednesday, with daily momentum on each unwound from the top of its range in late July to the low twenties now.
