USD/CAD picks up bids to refresh the highest levels in three weeks around 1.3305 heading into Thursday’s European session.

In doing so, the Loonie pair takes clues from the market’s broad risk aversion which propels the US Dollar while weighing on the prices of commodities and antipodeans. It’s worth noting that the grim concerns about China, one of the world’s biggest commodity users exert additional downside pressure on the Oil Price, which in turn propels the major currency pair due to Canada’s reliance on energy export as the key earning source.

Technically, a clear upside break of the 21-Exponential Moving Average (EMA), around 1.3275 by the press time, joins the bullish MACD signals and upbeat RSI (14) line, not overbought, to propel the Loonie pair.

That said, lows marked during April and May near 1.3300 and 1.3315 restrict immediate upside of the USD/CAD pair ahead of the key 1.3360 resistance confluence comprising the 50-EMA and previous support line stretched from February.

On the flip side, pullback in the USD/CAD price remains elusive unless staying beyond the one-week-old rising support line, near 1.3245 at the latest.

Following that, the 1.3200 round figure and the latest multi-month low marked the last week around 1.3115 can’t be ruled out.

GBP/USD slides below 1.3250 after failing to break through 23.6% Fibo

The GBP/USD pair meets with a fresh supply during the Asian session on Wednesday and moves away from a nearly two-week high around the 1.3275 region, touched the previous day. Spot prices currently trade around the 1.3235 zone, down 0.20% for the day, as traders look to speeches from Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey and Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh for a fresh impetus.

EUR/USD stays offered, breaks below 1.1400…again

EUR/USD adds to Tuesday’s slight losses and drops below the 1.1400 yardstick in the latter part of Wednesday’s NA session. The pair’s decline comes in response to the persistent recovery in the US Dollar, which seems to have met extra support following the cautious tone from Fed’s Warsh in his comments at the ECB Forum.

Gold recovers but sellers hold the grip

Gold keeps the bullish performance in place on Wednesday, although is now giving away part of its earlier advance past the $4,100 mark per troy ounce. The precious metal’s marked rebound comes despite the US Dollar’s bid bias, higher US Treasury yields across the curve and positive headlines from the Middle East.

Dogecoin vs Shiba Inu: DOGE and SHIB start July with similar setups

The cryptocurrency market shows subtle signs of rebounding on Wednesday after facing intense headwinds over the past few weeks, largely attributed to geopolitical tensions, macroeconomic uncertainty and risk-averse sentiment. Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) are holding above pivotal support levels at $0.0700 and $0.0000040, respectively, suggesting investors are ready to reengage.

Warsh stays on message as inflation remains the Fed's top priority

At the ECB Forum in Sintra, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh largely followed the script, offering little to change the market’s current view on monetary policy.

Just like Fed, is BoJ’s independence under threat?

When talking about central bank independence, most of the focus has been on Donald Trump’s pressure on the Federal Reserve. But a similar story, a quieter one for now, seems to be happening on the other side of the Pacific: Japan’s government may be testing the Bank of Japan’s independence.
