The Australian dollar (AUD) is recovering against the Japanese Yen (JPY) despite market sentiment shifting sour as US equity futures turned red, except for the Dow Jones. As the North American session fades, the AUD/JPY is advancing 0.63%, trading at 92.82.

From a daily chart perspective, the AUD/JPY is still neutral-biased, though trading within the 92.00-93.40 range, nearby the highs of the last week. AUD/JPY price action distanced from the daily Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), suggesting that the uptrend is accelerating. Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shifted upward in bullish territory. Therefore, the AUD/JPY could be testing the 93.00 figure in the near term, followed by the November 30 daily high at 93.84 and the psychological 94.00 figure.

As an alternate scenario, it is less likely that the AUD/JPY shifts gears and turns bearish, though it would face a solid support area below 92.00. Firstly, the 100-day EMA at 91.91, followed by the 91.50-60 area, a confluence of the 20/200/50-day EMAs, and then the 91.00 figure.

EUR/USD appears supported by the 200-day SMA, for now

Following an early pullback to multi-week lows near 1.1670, EUR/USD now manages to reclaim the 1.1700 region as the NA session draws to a close on Monday. The steep retracement in spot follows the equally strong move higher in the US Dollar, as investors continue to assess the geopolitical landscape in the wake of the US and Israel attacks on Iran.

GBP/USD hits new yearly lows near 1.3300

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold eases some ground, approaches $5,300

Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance, reshifting its attenton to the $5,300 zone per troy ounce at the beginning of the week. Indeed, the yellow metal’s firm performance appears propped up by incresing geopolitical jitters in the Middle East, which at the same time fuels the demand for the safe-haven space.
