Natural Gas (XNG/USD) price renews intraday high near $2.20 as the energy instrument defies the previous two-day losing streak during early Friday. In doing so, the XNG/USD justifies hidden bullish RSI (14) divergence on the four-hour chart.

That said, Natural Gas price printed higher lows in the last two weeks but the RSI conditions commensurate to these troughs remain contradicting as the RSI (14) line marks a lower low. As a result, the price momentum towards the upside seems to gain acceptance and hence the XNG/USD buyers can expect more recovery.

However, a downward-sloping resistance line from Tuesday, near $2.23 by the press time, guards the quote’s immediate upside ahead of the weekly top surrounding $2.36.

Following that, a one-month-old horizontal resistance area surrounding $2.47-50 will be a tough nut to crack for the Natural Gas buyers before retaking the command.

Alternatively, pullback moves remain elusive unless the XNG/USD stays beyond an ascending support line stretched from late February, around $2.12 at the latest.

Even so, the $2.00 psychological magnet can challenge the Natural Gas bears before directing them to the July 2020 high of around $1.96.

GBP/USD drops to multi-month troughs near 1.3140

GBP/USD adds to Tuesday’s pullback and recedes to the lowest level since November 2025 near 1.3140. A firmer Greenback and continued political turmoil in the UK are keeping Cable under persistent pressure, with little sign of a meaningful recovery.

EUR/USD bounces off YTD lows around 1.1320

EUR/USD extends its decline on Wednesday, falling to fresh yearly lows near 1.1320. The pair remains on the defensive as the US Dollar continues to draw support from hawkish Fed expectations and uncertainty over the outcome of US-Iran peace negotiations.

Gold trims losses, back above $4,000

Gold retreats further and breaches below the key $4,000 mark per troy ounce for the first time since November 2025 on Wednesday. Higher-for-longer Fed expectations and a broadly firmer US Dollar continue to weigh on the precious metal, while uncertainty surrounding a potential US-Iran peace agreement has done little to revive demand for the safe haven space.

5.90% to 5.45%: Why the Pound ignored the bond market’s relief rally

Keir Starmer resigned on Monday, and the Pound barely moved. That near-silence is the tell. Sterling's real driver these past four months has not been the prime minister, nor the left-leaning frontrunner lining up to replace him, but the long end of the gilt curve, which answers to a force no British politician controls.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
