Having reversed from 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of October 2018 to July 2019 downpour, USD/INR declines to 71.23 ahead of Thursday’s European session.

The pair now aims to visit the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) level of 70.90 prior to targeting 70.45, including 100-day EMA, during further declines.

During the pair’s additional weakens below 70.45, June month high surrounding 70.12 and 70.00 round-figure will flash on sellers’ radar.

Also supporting the quote’s downside is a bearish signal from the 12-bar moving average convergence and divergence (MACD) indicator.

Alternatively, 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels around 71.60 and 72.40 seem to limit pair’s near-term advances, a break of which could print fresh 2019 high by surpassing latest peak near 72.65.

USD/JPY keeps the red near 158.00 as Japanese Yen firms up

USD/JPY retreats from three-week highs and holds losses near 158.00 in the Asian session on Thursday. Surging Japanese bond yields lift the Yen amid looming intervention risks, while the US Dollar preserves overnight gains to a two-month high amid hawkish Fed bets and elevated US bond yields.

Gold bears tighten their grip as Fed rate hike bets rise

Gold sticks to a negative bias for the second straight day, trading below the $4,300 mark or a one-week low during the first half of the European session as traders await a crucial meeting between US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping. Expectations for a major announcement are low, though market players will look for any progress on rare earths, technology restrictions, and an extension of the current US-China truce.

XRP is flashing three bullish signals heading into a historically weak October

XRP (XRP) is still flashing 3 bullish signals across its holders, derivatives, and ETF data. These signals come as the token gave back part of its September gains on Thursday. The token traded near $1.50 at press time, down about 6.3% over 24 hours, according to BeInCrypto Markets data. The pullback still leaves XRP up over 15.6% on the week, a gain that tracks a broader market rally.

Advanced economies: From one example of resilience to another

History tends to repeat itself in advanced economies. Once again, growth ultimately fell short of expectations by only a small margin in the first half of 2026, despite the conflict in Iran. As early as 2025, the impact of tariffs was less severe than feared.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks.
