USD/JPY 4-hour chart

USD/JPY is challenging the 110.00 figure as the market is trading above the 50 SMA.

USD/JPY 30-minute chart

USD/JPY is trading above its main SMAs suggesting bullish momentum in the near term.
Buyers are challenging 110.06 big resistance. When broken 110.30 and 110.60 can become the next price targets to the upside.
Support is at the 109.80 and the 109.50 price level. A break below 109.00 on a daily closing basis may invalidate the bullish bias.

GBP/USD dips below 1.3350 as USD demand surges

GBP/USD extends its intraday slide and closes in on 1.3300 in the American session on Thursday. The pair remains under heavy bearish pressure as the US Dollar (USD) benefits from the risk-averse market atmosphere amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

EUR/USD drops toward 1.1350 post ECB decision

EUR/USD remains under heavy bearish pressure in the second half of the day on Thursday and trades at its lowest level in three weeks below 1.1370. The ECB's cautious tone on policy tightening in the near future and the broad-based US Dollar (USD) strength on risk-aversion drag the pair lower.

Gold consolidates the previous day's heavy losses and remains on the defensive below $4,050 during the Asian session on Friday amid rising expectations of a Fed rate hike, bolstered by energy-driven inflation concerns. Moreover, the US-Iran standoff and US President Donald Trump's new tariffs underpin the US Dollar's reserve currency status, which further weighs on the bullion. The XAU/USD pair, however, sticks to modest weekly gains as traders look to the global flash PMIs for fresh impetus.
