DXY regains composure and reclaims the area beyond the key 102.00 hurdle at the beginning of the week.

The index manages to leave behind part of the selling pressure seen in the latter part of the week and retakes the 102.00 yardstick and beyond on Monday. The index needs to rapidly clear the so far monthly top of 102.84 (August 3) to allow for a potential move to the July top of 103.57 (July 3), which appears underpinned by the proximity of the key 200-day SMA.

Looking at the broader picture, while below the 200-day SMA (103.52) the outlook for the index is expected to remain negative.

AUD/USD inches higher after registering modest losses in the previous day, trading around 0.7130 during the Asian hours.

USD/JPY trades below 160.00 intervention threshold; bullish bias intact

Gold defends 200-day SMA, rises toward $4,500

Gold is attempting a tepid recovery toward $4,500 on Thursday, as renewed optimism in the Mideast geopolitical front calms market nerves.

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?

Statistics Canada handed the headline writers a gift and the analysts a headache. Real GDP shrank 0.1% on an annualized basis in the first quarter, and with the fourth quarter of 2025 revised down to a 1.0% contraction, that is two negative quarters in a row, the textbook definition of a technical recession and Canada's first since the pandemic.
