USD/INR Price News: Indian rupee sellers attack 74.00 on Dragonfly Doji near key SMA joint

USD/INR stays well bid around intraday top of 73.95, up 0.22% on a day, amid the initial Indian session on Thursday. In doing so, the quote justifies the previous day’s bullish candlestick above a convergence of 50-day and 200-day SMA.

While the recent corrective pullback is ready to cross the 74.00 threshold, late February tops near 74.20 and a short-term horizontal line close to 74.30 will challenge the further upside.

If at all USD/INR buyers keep reins above 74.30, odds of witnessing the 75.00 round-figure on the chart can’t be ruled out.

Alternatively, a daily closing below 73.65 won’t be enough for USD/INR seller’s entry as March month’s top near 73.60 add extra filter to the south.

Even if the bears manage to break 73.60, multiple levels near 73.20-15 and the 73.00 round-figure may trouble them during further downside.

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 keeps losses near 1.1400 after soft Eurozone inflation data

EUR/USD keeps the offered tone intact near 1.1400 in European trading on Wednesday, pressured by softer Euronze and German inflation readings and receding bets for aggressive tightening by the European Central Bank (ECB). Traders will take more cues from the US Manufacturing PMI due later in the day.

Gold stays in red below $4,000, awaits Warsh's speech

Gold remains under selling pressure below $4,000, in the red for the third straight day on Wednesday. The Iran uncertainty and Fed hike bets support the USD, weighing on the commodity. Traders now look to Fed Chair Warsh's speech and the US data for a fresh impetus.

ISM Manufacturing PMI expected to signal continued expansion in the US

Attention shifts to Wednesday’s release of the June ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index, one of the most closely followed indicators of activity in the US manufacturing sector and an important barometer of the broader economy. Markets expect the headline index to remain unchanged at 54.

Kevin Warsh isn't expected to say much in Sintra: That's exactly why markets will listen

Financial markets could find an important catalyst in the enchanting, fairytale-like landscape of Sintra this week. The European Central Bank Forum will, as it does every year, gather the crème de la crème of central banks. The new boss at the Federal Reserve, who has clearly said that the Fed should stop explaining everything, will need to talk – and traders should listen.

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.
