Pound Sterling bleeds lower as negative sentiment prompts US Dollar safe-haven buying

The Pound Sterling (GBP) continues bleeding lower against the US Dollar (USD) on Friday, following weakness triggered by the Bank of England (BoE) monetary policy meeting on the previous day. GBP/USD is now trading in the mid 1.24s after being pressured lower on safe-haven flows into the US Dollar amidst concerns about the US debt-ceiling in the absence of a deal and following the release of the Michigan Consumer Confidence Index, which showed a decline to 57.7 from 63, and Michigan 5-year inflation expectations, which rose to 3.2% from 3.0% previously.

USD/JPY trims losses; focus is back to 156.00

USD/JPY now bounces off the area of multi-month lows and appears headed toward the 156.00 region ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The sharp pullback in spot comes in response to the sudden strengthening of the Japanese Yen, reflecting growing conviction among investors that the BoJ could deliver another interest rate hike as early as its September 18 policy meeting.

AUD/USD looks constructive above 0.7200

AUD/USD adds to Wednesday’s advance, reaching fresh four-month highs north of 0.7200 the figure late on Thursday. The pair’s solid performance follows the sharp sell-off in the US Dollar while market participants gear up for the release of US NFP on Friday.

Gold struggles to extend the bounce past $4,500

Gold adds to Wednesday’s gains and reclaims the area near the key $4,500 mark per troy ounce on Thursday. The strong decline in the US Dollar coupled with further weakness in US Treasury yields across the board also bolsters the move higher in the precious metal.

Bitcoin and Gold Outlook: BTC and XAU recover as US ISM Services PMI edges higher in August
Bitcoin (BTC) strongly rises to trade above the pivotal $80,000 level on Thursday. The Crypto King is rallying alongside broader cryptocurrency prices following the release of the United States (US) Services PMI. Gold (XAU/USD) is similarly bullish, trading at $4,500 at the time of writing. The metal is up over 2% on the day, signaling the return of bulls as market sentiment improves.
Canada's 6.4% unemployment rate: Why Friday's jobs print puts the BoC's slack story on trial
The Bank of Canada (BoC) held at 2.25% on Wednesday for a seventh straight meeting and rewrote the one paragraph that still argues against a hike. In July, the BoC’s statement called the labour market soft and pinned the unemployment rate inside a 6.5%-7% range it had held since the end of 2024. July's Labour Force Survey (LFS) then printed 6.4%.
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.
