The USD/CAD pair seesaws in the early European session. The pair opened higher earlier, albeit fizzling out rather quickly toward the session’s low of 1.2088.

At the time of writing, the USD/CAD pair is trading at 1.2096, down 0.01% on the day.

USD/CAD hourly chart

On the hourly chart, the pair has been consolidating near the 1.2090 mark,in progress to capture the 20-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA) placed at 1.2100. In doing so, the pair would carve a path toward the 1.2140 and the 1.2180 horizontal resistance zone.

The next area of resistance would be the May 6 high at 1.2288.

On the flip side, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator falters below the midline, and any downtick could bring the multi-year low from 2017 into the picture, where the first could be the September 2017 weekly low at 1.2061, followed by the weekly low of May 2015 at 1.2011.

GBP/USD holds gains above 1.3150, US PCE inflation data looms

The GBP/USD pair recovers some lost ground to near 1.3175 during the Asian trading hours on Thursday. However, the potential upside for the major pair might be limited amid UK political instability and rising expectations of US interest rate hikes this year. Traders await the US May Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation data on Thursday for fresh impetus.

EUR/USD softens to near 1.1350 as Fed hike bets rise ahead of PCE inflation data

The EUR/USD pair declines to around 1.1355 during the early Asian trading hours on Thursday. The Euro weakens to its lowest level since June 2025 against the US Dollar as traders increase their bets on US interest rate hikes later this year. The US May Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation data will be the highlight on Thursday.

Gold: Impending Death Cross hints at more downside

Gold is heading back toward seven-month lows near $3,950 early Thursday. The US Dollar enters bullish consolidation amid Fed rate hike bets, conflicting US-Iran messages. Gold could see further declines as RSI flirts with oversold territory, eyes on impending Death Cross.

Bitcoin tests $60,000 as whales sell off – Aave and Jupiter show resilience

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.
