EUR/USD (4 Hours)

EUR/USD Holds Above Support Amid Mixed Data and Resilient Dollar

The EUR/USD dropped towards last week’s lows but rebounded during the American session, staying above the crucial support area of 1.0950. The US Dollar remains resilient, but its momentum against the Euro appears to be fading. The Final Eurozone PMI showed little change, while Germany’s unemployment rate fell to 5.6% in July. However, the interest rate market indicates low odds of another rate hike from the ECB. The Greenback lost strength against the Euro following mixed US data, with the JOLTS Job Openings report and ISM Manufacturing PMI coming in below expectations. Despite the numbers, US yields saw modest increases. The market focus now shifts to upcoming US employment data, including the ADP report and Nonfarm Payrolls on Friday.

XAU/USD Rebounds on US Credit Rate Cut Amid Economic Concerns

Gold has rebounded to around $1,950 in the Asian session after justifying the United States government’s rate cut by Fitch Ratings. The metal pared previous losses, but technical indicators suggest a bearish trend in the near term. The market sentiment turned negative due to disappointing earnings from big names, leading to a surge in demand for the safe-haven US Dollar. Additionally, US data disappointed, with manufacturing PMI missing estimates. The situation remains uncertain, and investors are closely watching employment clues for further market direction.
