In the Wednesday session, the NZD/USD pair rides a strong bullish wave, with a recent increase of 1.28%. The uptick made the pair jump above its 100 and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), indicating that the outlook turned positive for the pair. However, as indicators approach overbought conditions, a consolidation may be incoming.

On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates that NZD/USD is approaching overbought territory. The positive trend evident over the past few days, along with the recent surge, reveals that the strength is currently with buyers. However, this upward pressure may soon decrease, as the RSI nearing overbought conditions often signals future consolidation or potential reversal.

NZD/USD daily chart

The hourly chart shows that RSI readings exceeded 70, reinforcing indications of overbought conditions. The recent Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showing flat green bars indicates sustained but flat positive momentum.

NZD/USD hourly chart

In conclusion, the technical indicators for NZD/USD suggest strong buyer momentum. However, the RSI's proximity to overbought conditions hints at a potential easing of this upward pressure. This, coupled with the strong bullish trend indicated by the jumping above longer-term SMAs, presents a positive outlook but demands careful observation for potential corrections.

AUD/USD remains above 0.7200 after China's trade data

AUD/USD sits above 0.7200 in the Asian session on Tuesday, near its highest level since May 14. The US Dollar stays under pressure as a rallying Japanese Yen outweighs support from hawkish Fed bets and geopolitical tensions. This, along with firming expectations for another RBA rate hike later this month, acts as a tailwind for the Aussie. However, mixed China trade balance data keep the pair restricted.

USD/JPY stabilizes at around 154.00 as markets assess BoJ outlook

USD/JPY fluctuates at around 154.00 in the American session on Tuesday after rebounding from the six-month low it touched below 153.00 earlier in the day. Nevertheless, the upside attempts resemble technical corrections for now as Japan's upbeat wage growth data and Q2 GDP revision cement bets on a BoJ rate hike next week and continue to support the Japanese Yen.

Gold holds around $4,400, but for how long?

Gold (XAU/USD) remains on the back foot during American trading hours on Tuesday, even as the US Dollar (USD) remains on the defensive. Rising Oil prices and expectations of a Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hike weigh on the precious metal. At the time of writing, XAU/USD trades around $4,400 after reaching an intraday high near $4,443.

XRP ticks up as bullish derivatives, EMA support signal breakout

Ripple (XRP) is grinding upward and getting closer to a short-term breakout above $1.40 on Tuesday. This uptick follows the remittance token's defense of support at $1.38, after a short-lived attempt to breach selling pressure at $1.50 last week.

Europe in focus: September 2026

Six major net contributors demanded substantial cuts to the European Commission’s proposed 2028–2034 EU budget. Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland and Sweden issued a joint position on 27 August calling for the nearly €2 trillion proposal to be reduced by several hundred billion euros and rejecting additional common EU borrowing.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
