GBP/USD daily chart

GBP/USD has fallen heavily today after the USD strengthened following more risk-off moves. It seems the market is moving to cash after a drop in bond prices, gold and stock indices. This all leads to redemptions with some analyst's citing margin calls and a move back into cash as the key reason for the move. The Fed has announced a $500 blin round of support via the repo markets. This is not confirmed as QE but it is essentially USD funding for the bond markets. So, in theory, it's very similar.

Looking at the chart now, it seems the price capitulation was stemmed by the support from 20th September 2019. This level also confluenced quite closely to the Fibonacci extension of 138.2% and retracement at 61.8%. Very rarely do you see such a level, where all things match up so well.

EUR/USD looks to regain the 200-day SMA

EUR/USD regains some balance and trade just above 1.1600 the figure ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The pair initially dipped to the 1.1530 zone for the first time since November, always following the stronger US Dollar and the marked flight-to-safety in the context of the ongoing Middle East crisis

GBP/USD attacks 1.3300, refreshing three-month lows

GBP/USD is deep in the red near 1.3300, accelerating its downside to renew three-month lows in European trading on Tuesday. The ongoing escalation in the Iran war, combined with rising Oil prices, weighs negatively on the higher-yielding Pound Sterling as the US Dollar capitalizes on increased haven demand.

Gold bounces off lows, back above $5,100

Gold remains on the defensive, eroding part of the recent multi-day advance and managing to trade back above the $5,100 mark per troy ounce on Tuesday. The precious metal initially dropped just below the critical $5,000 threshold on the back of the persistent strength of the Greenback, higher US Treasury yields across the curve and investors' repricing of Fed rate cuts.
