Gold daily chart

The market is retracing down below the 50 and 100 DSMAs. A break below 1455.50 swing low could open the doors to further losses towards the 1400 handle.

Alternatively, if the buyers can support the market, Gold could revisit 1480 and the 1500 level. A break above the 1520/1555 resistance can lead to a resumption of the uptrend.

EUR/USD struggles to regain momentum in the low1.1600s

EUR/USD is giving some signs of life in the aftermath of two severe days of losses on Wednesday, reclaiming the 1.1600 hurdle and above on the back of the resurgence of a mild selling bias around the US Dollar. Moving forward, the usual US weekly Claims will take centre stage on Thursday ahead of Friday’s crucial NFP data.

GBP/USD tests key moving averages as growth downgrade weighs
