USD/INR reverses the early-day losses, picking up bids to 74.45, heading into Friday’s European session. In doing so, the Indian rupee (INR) pair battles 200-SMA and a descending resistance line from July 30.

Given the strong MACD conditions, coupled with the pair’s successful trading above the one-week-old rising trend line, USD/INR prices may overcome the immediate hurdle to the north below 74.50.

The same will help the pair buyers to challenge the monthly peak surrounding 74.55 and late July tops near 74.62.

However, any further upside will not hesitate to recall the 75.00 threshold to the chart.

Alternatively, a downside break of the immediate support line around 74.30 will direct USD/INR sellers to the monthly low surrounding 74.05.

Though, bears need to conquer the 74.00 round figure, comprising lows marked since June, to keep the reins afterward.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
