USD/MXN Price Analysis: Rally loses momentum, still bullish

USD/MXN is correcting lower after Tuesday’s rally.
Still looking at 20.80/21.00, but signals are mixed.

Matías Salord FXStreet

The USD/MXN is falling sharply, after having the best day in weeks on Tuesday. The pair peaked at 20.82 and then started to move to the downside. The 20.80 zone has become a strong barrier and a consolidation above it should open the doors to 20.90. Then, attention would turn to 21.00. A daily close above 21.00 would strengthen the bullish outlook.

If the bearish correction extends, a support area emerges at 20.45 and then at 20.25. A break under 20.25 would negate the bullish bias, exposing 20.00.

Technical indicators are mixed, with Momentum and the RSI moving around midlines, undecided. Price is near flats 20 and 200-day Simple Moving Averages.

USD/MXN Daily chart

On the weekly chart, USD/MXN continues to be unable to post a close above 20.60, which should point to further gains in the medium term.

AUD/USD meets fresh supply and tests 0.7100 amid weak Australian PMIs

AUD/USD has come under fresh selling pressure and is testing 0.7100 in the Asian session on Wednesday. Australia's flash PMIs showed manufacturing slipped into contraction and services expanding slowly for a second straight month, renewing the pair's downside. Furthermore, a bullish US Dollar acts as a headwind for the pair as traders keenly await the crucial Trump-Xi summit on Thursday. Meanwhile, markets shrug off US-Iran indirect talks.

USD/JPY stands firm near mid-157.00s, close to two-week high

USD/JPY hovers around mid-157.00s in the Asian session on Wednesday, near two-week highs touched last Friday as the BoJ's dovish rate hike continues to undermine the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar remains firm amid the Fed's hawkish stance, adding support to the pair, though JPY intervention fears cap further gains. Markets pay little heed to the completion of the round of US-Iran indirect talks ahead of Trump-Xi meeting.

Gold approaches $4,300 as Fed hike bets boost USD to fresh high since late July

Gold extends its steady intraday slide through the first half of the European session, reversing a part of the previous day's recovery from sub-$4,300 levels. US Dollar buying remains unabated on the back of the Federal Reserve's hawkish outlook, which is seen as a key factor driving flows away from the non-yielding yellow metal.

Bitcoin outperforms US equities and Gold since mid-August

Bitcoin (BTC) extends its rally, trading above $86,000 at the time of writing on Wednesday after gaining more than 6% so far this week. Strong institutional demand is supporting BTC’s bullish price action, with spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) recording over $714 million in inflows on Tuesday after nearly $1 billion in positive flows the previous day.

Trump meets Xi: Why markets are watching this summit so closely

United States President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to meet in Washington on Thursday for a summit closely watched by markets. After several months of easing trade tensions between the US and China, the meeting could determine whether the world's two largest economies extend their truce or enter a new period of uncertainty.

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.
