NZD/USD extends gains in the third trading session, trading higher around 0.5930 during the Asian session on Monday as a result of the retreat in the US Dollar (USD). This pair is experiencing upward support due to the reduced likelihood of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) maintaining unchanged interest rates in the upcoming September meeting.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line remains below the centerline but is positioned above the signal line. This configuration suggests that the recent momentum in the market is relatively subdued and moving sideways.

The pair may encounter initial support at the previous week’s bottom at 0.5859 level lined up with the 0.5850 psychological level. A decisive break below this level could potentially lead to further downward movement, with Kiwi bears targeting the region near the 0.5800 psychological level.

On the upside, a significant resistance level for the NZD/USD pair is represented by the 21-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.5947, which is closely aligned with the 0.5950 psychological level.

If the pair manages to break convincingly above this level, it could potentially open the door for further upward movement, with the next target being the region around the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at 0.5980.

In the near term, the NZD/USD pair is expected to maintain a bearish outlook as long as the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains below the 50 level. This suggests a continued downward momentum in the pair.

GBP/USD surrenders some gains, back to 1.3420

GBP/USD holds on to moderate gains above 1.3400 the figure on Friday. Optimism surrounding the UK government’s leadership transition and expectations of further BoE tightening support the British Pound, while easing tensions in the Middle East and fading Fed rate-hike expectations weigh on the US Dollar.

EUR/USD turns positive, targets 1.1450

EUR/USD now picks up pace and advances toward the 1.1440 region on Friday, up modestly for the day. With no major economic data due, lingering uncertainty over the US-Iran conflict keeps investors cautious, limiting the pair's upside.

Gold remains offered, still below $4,100

Gold struggles to extend Thursday’s rebound and navigates below the $4,100 mark per troy ounce on Friday. Uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict limits the precious metal’s upside, which is also under pressure amid rising US Treasury yields across the curve.

Week ahead – US CPI and Warsh testimony to take centre stage, BoC eyed too

US inflation report and Warsh testimony to headline the week. Dollar to dominate amid slew of other US data and Mideast tensions. Amid fresh Iran escalation, China GDP to shed light on Q2 impact. Bank of Canada not expected to follow RBNZ with rate hike.

Five sessions, one round trip: Why the whipsaw is exactly what Warsh ordered

Markets opened July with a December hike as the base case and spent five trading sessions unlearning and relearning it. A 57K payrolls print bled the tightening bets out of the strip; a re-shut Strait of Hormuz is pushing them back in. Wednesday's minutes from the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting landed mid-round-trip, describing a world that had already stopped existing.
