AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7200 after hot Chinese CPI data

AUD/USD is extending its consolidative price action above 0.7200 during the Asian session on Wednesday, uninspired by hot Chinese CPI and PPI data. Meanwhile, rising RBA rate-hike bets act as a tailwind for the Aussie amid Yen-inspired US Dollar weakness. Traders await the release of US inflation figures later in the week for fresh impetus.

USD/JPY stays weak near 153.50 amid aggressive BoJ hike bets

USD/JPY attracts fresh sellers in the Asian session on Wednesday as the strong Reuters Tankan business survey adds to the case for continued BoJ policy normalisation and boosts the Japanese Yen. This, along with a broadly weaker US Dollar, keeps the pair close to a nearly seven-month low set on Tuesday.

Gold recovers further from one-week low, retakes $4.400 amid sustained USD selling

Gold builds on its intraday recovery from a one-week low and reclaims the $4,400 mark heading into the European session on Wednesday. The commodity, for now, seems to have snapped a three-day losing streak amid a weaker US Dollar, which remains depressed near its lowest level in over two weeks amid the Bank of Japan-inspired rally in the Japanese Yen.

Bitcoin takes a breather, Ethereum and XRP maintain bullish footing

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) are trading with a broadly constructive tone on Wednesday despite BTC's mild pullback over the past two days. The Crypto King holds above $78,000; ETH and XRP remain strong above key Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), keeping their upside prospects intact.

Gold and stocks: What eight midterm elections did

I went back through every midterm election since 1994 and asked one question of each: when did the stock market make its low for the year, before the vote or after it? In seven of the eight cycles, the low came before the election. In six of the eight, it came between mid-June and mid-October, which is to say in the exact window that the "they won't let it fall" argument says is protected.

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.
