EUR/USD: Uptrend remains intact – UOB Group

The current price movements are likely part of a range trading phase, probably between 1.0740 and 1.0840. In the longer run, uptrend remains intact, but it is unclear for now if EUR can reach 1.0945 vs US Dollar (USD), UOB Group's FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note. 

EUR may not reach 1.0945 near term

24-HOUR VIEW: "After the remarkable rally in EUR two days ago, we highlighted yesterday that 'while EUR could rise above 1.0825 today, it remains to be seen if it can maintain a foothold above this level.' We added, 'the next key resistance lies significantly higher at 1.0945, which is unlikely to come into view today.' During the NY session, EUR rose to 1.0853, pulling back quickly to close largely unchanged at 1.0783 (-0.06%). The current price movements are likely part of a range trading phase, probably between 1.0740 and 1.0840." 

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "Yesterday (06 Mar, spot at 1.0795), we reiterated our bullish view, indicating that 'the next two key technical targets to monitor are 1.0825 and 1.0945.' We also indicated that 'the former appears to be within reach, but it is uncertain for now if EUR can reach 1.0945 during this phase of rally.' EUR subsequently rose to 1.0853 before closing at 1.0783 (-0.06%). While the uptrend remains intact, at this stage, it is unclear for now if EUR can reach 1.0945. Overall, only a breach of 1.0640 (no change in ‘strong support’ level) would suggest that the rally over the past few days is taking a pause."

EUR/USD struggles for direction amid USD gains

GBP/USD drops to daily lows near 1.3360

Gold holds steady above $4,300 amid supportive fundamental backdrop

Gold kicks off the new week on a slightly positive note following Friday's late pullback from levels just above mid-$4,300s or the highest since October 21. Bets for two more rate cuts by the US Fed next year continue to act as a tailwind for the non-yielding bullion. Apart from this, a softer risk tone and geopolitical uncertainties benefit the safe-haven precious metal. However, a modest US Dollar uptick might cap gains ahead of the delayed US NFP report on Tuesday.

Week ahead: US NFP and CPI, BoE, ECB and BoJ mark a busy week

After Fed decision, dollar traders lock gaze on NFP and CPI data. Will the BoE deliver a dovish interest rate cut? ECB expected to reiterate “good place” mantra. Will a BoJ rate hike help the yen recover some of its massive losses?

Big week ends with big doubts

The S&P 500 continued to push higher yesterday as the US 2-year yield wavered around the 3.50% mark following a Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut earlier this week that was ultimately perceived as not that hawkish after all. The cut is especially boosting the non-tech pockets of the market.

Aave Price Forecast: AAVE primed for breakout as bullish signals strengthen

Aave (AAVE) price is trading above $204 at the time of writing on Friday and approaching the upper boundary of its descending parallel channel; a breakout from this structure would favor the bulls.
