USD/CAD prints the biggest daily gains in a week, up 0.25% intraday around 1.2622 ahead of Thursday’s European session.

Although failures to cross 10-DMA dragged the quote to an ascending support line from June 01, firmer RSI and successful trading beyond 200-DMA, not to forget firmer fundamentals surrounding greenback, keeps the pair buyers hopeful.

Hence, the quote’s another battle with the 10-DMA level of 1.2650 becomes imminent.

However, July 20 lows near the 1.2680 threshold and a five-week-long horizontal resistance line near 1.2810 will challenge the USD/CAD bulls before pleasing them with the monthly low, also the 2021 top, near 1.2950. It’s worth mentioning that the 1.2835-40 area may also contribute towards making the buyer’s reign worrisome.

Alternatively, a daily closing below the stated support line, near 1.2585, will drag the quote to the 200-DMA level of 1.2545.

In a case where the USD/CAD bears keep reins past 1.2545, June high and August 11 low, near 1.2490 will precede July 30 bottom close to 1.2420 to gain the market’s attention.

GBP/USD revisits 1.3530; Dollar pushes harder

GBP/USD adds to the weekly correction and recedes toward the 1.3530 zone on Friday. Indeed, Cable faces increasing selling pressure on the back of extra gains in the Greenback, particularly fuelled by Chair Warsh’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium and the US NFP Annual Revision (-79K).

EUR/USD breaches below 1.1600, multi-day lows

EUR/USD now accelerates its decline and retreats to seven-day troughs in the sub-1.1600 region at the end of the week. The pair’s pullback comes on the back of the strong rebound in the US Dollar after Chair Warsh delivered a hawkish message in Jackson Hole, while the US NFP Annual Revision came in at -79K.

Gold challenges its 200-day SMA near $4,530

Gold’s decline gathers fresh steam, hitting weekly lows while disputing its critical 200-day SMA near $4,530 per troy ounce. The yellow metal’s increasing weakness comes in response to the generalised upbeat tone in the US Dollar and the widespread rebound in US Treasury yields, as investors continue to reprice a Fed rate hike in September.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP rally loses steam despite steady ETF inflows

Bitcoin is back below $80,000 at the time of writing on Friday, after a second attempt at breaking resistance between $81,000 and $82,000. Meanwhile, Ethereum and Ripple mirror Bitcoin’s cooling trend, with ETH sliding to $2,500 and XRP falling toward $1.40 support.

Week ahead – RBNZ and BoC decide on rates ahead of all-important US NFP

Dollar rebounds ahead of ISM PMI and NFP data. RBNZ is expected to raise rates; focus to fall on forward guidance. BoC is set to remain on hold; will it raise rates in 2027?

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.
