Palladium prices reverse from weekly high, retreat inside monthly falling channel.
Descending trend line from February lures short-term bears.

Palladium (XPD/USD) takes offers to renew intraday low around $2,030, printing the first daily loss in four heading into Wednesday’s European session.

In doing so, the commodity prices fade the previous day’s 10-DMA breakout inside a one-month-old descending trend channel

It’s worth noting, however, that the looming bull cross on the MACD hints challenges the XPD/USD downside past the 10-DMA level surrounding $2,000.

Also acting as the key downside barrier is a falling trend line from February 11, near $1,875, as well as the lower line of the stated channel, near $1,815.

Alternatively, a clear upside break of the monthly channel’s resistance line, close to $2,070 by the press time, won’t be an open invitation to the palladium buyers.

The reason is the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the XPD/USD’s December 2021 to March 2022 upside, near $2,265.

Overall, palladium sellers seem to have run out of steam but the bulls haven’t gained conviction and hence prices remain lackluster.

GBP/USD appears well offered near 1.3160

GBP/USD builds on Tuesday’s losses, although it now manages to pick up some pace and bounce off earlier multi-month troughs near 1.3140. The Greenback’s solid performance and continued political turmoil in the UK are keeping Cable under persistent pressure, with little sign of a meaningful recovery.

EUR/USD trims losses, hovers around 1.1350

EUR/USD now regains some composure and rebounds to the 1.1350 zone on Wednesday, partially reversing the prior pullback to fresh yearly lows near 1.1320. Meanwhile, spot remains on the back foot as the US Dollar continues to draw support from hawkish Fed expectations and uncertainty over the outcome of US-Iran peace negotiations.

Gold puts $4,000 to the test, new yearly lows

Gold accelerates its decline and gyrates around the key $4,000 mark per troy ounce on Wednesday, its lowest level since November 2025. In the meantime, tighter-for-longer Fed expectations and a broadly firmer US Dollar continue to weigh on the yellow metal, while uncertainty surrounding a potential US-Iran peace agreement has done little to revive demand for the safe haven space.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP trade under pressure as September Fed rate-hike odds increase

Bitcoin is trading between $62,000 and $63,000 at the time of writing on Wednesday, weighed down by headwinds stemming from macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

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.
