The post The Australian Dollar flatlines while everyone else has a war to trade appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
AUD/USD trades pinned between 0.6900 and 0.6950 on Wednesday, essentially unchanged and printing the kind of indecision candle that tells traders the week’s rebound has run out of sponsorship. The Aussie has spent five sessions climbing away from the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.6900, and the reward is a market that no longer knows what to do with it: No follow-through, no rejection, just a doji parked in the middle of last week’s range. For a currency that spent June shedding almost three big figures, standing still this close to the 200-day EMA reads less like stability and more like suspense. Two hawkish central banks walk into a stand-off Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes, released at 18:00 GMT, showed a committee split nearly down the middle on the next move, with the June dot grid printing nine hikes against eight holds and o

The Australian Dollar (AUD) keeps trading sideways against the US Dollar (USD) on Thursday, showing a surprising resilience to the escalating tensions in Iran. The pair has been steady above 0.6900 in the face of the rising tensions in Iran, with bearish momentum fading, as investors remain hopeful that Washington and Tehran will return to the negotiating table. US and Iran exchanged attacks for the second consecutive day on Thursday, but failed to do any significant harm to the risk-sensitive Australian Dollar. Investors keep seeing these skirmishes as manoeuvres to gain leverage in the peace negotiations, with the idea of an all-out war discarded for now. Fed minutes fail to support the USD Beyond that, the minutes of the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) first monetary policy meeting under Chair Kevin Warsh’s leadership showed a government board split on the near
The post Australian Dollar: Tentative upside risk above 0.6980 against US Dollar – UOB appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
United Overseas Bank’s (UOB) Quek Ser Leang sees AUD/USD confined to a 0.6915–0.6950 intraday range as momentum remains lacklustre. For 1–3 weeks, upward momentum is tentatively building, with rising risk of a break above 0.6980 while 0.6900 acts as strong support. Over 1–3 months, however, the broader trend remains negative, with focus on 0.6707 below 0.6835. Australian Dollar holds in tight band “24-HOUR VIEW: AUD fell to a low of 0.6921 two days ago. When it was at 0.6925 yesterday, we stated that “while AUD could retreat further, given the lacklustre downward momentum, any decline is likely to be contained within a 0.6900/0.6950 range.” AUD subsequently rose to 0.6946, dipped to 0.6907 before recovering to close marginally higher by 0.01% at 0.6929. There has been no clear shift in either downward or upward momentum, and AUD is likely to range-trade today, pro
The post USD/CAD Price Forecast: Hovers above 1.4150 as bullish bias prevails appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
USD/CAD moves sideways after two days of losses, trading around 1.4170 during the European hours on Thursday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates the pair is remaining within the ascending channel pattern, indicating a persistent bullish bias. The USD/CAD is retaining a bullish near-term bias as it holds comfortably above the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Price is pressing against the short-term nine-period EMA, which acts as immediate resistance, while the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 64 stays in positive territory but off extreme overbought readings, hinting at sustained upside momentum with some scope for consolidation. The USD/CAD pair may test the immediate barrier at the nine-day EMA of 1.4182, followed by the primary barrier at the nearly 15-month high of 1.4248, reached on June 24. Further advances would expose the upper
The post Japanese Yen: Downside bias but mixed outlook – UOB appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
United Overseas Bank’s (UOB) Quek Ser Leang notes USD/JPY retains an upside bias, with scope for a test of 162.80 intraday while major resistance at 163.00 is unlikely to be reached. Over 1–3 weeks, the outlook is mixed, with trading expected between 160.60 and 163.00. On a 1–3 month view, the advance can extend as long as the pair holds above the 21-day EMA at 161.00. Advance intact while above 161.00 “24-HOUR VIEW: While we indicated yesterday that “the bias for USD is tilted to the upside,” we pointed out that “any advance is likely to be limited to a test of 162.70.” We pointed out that “support is at 162.00, followed by 161.80.” We were not wrong, as after dipping briefly to 162.05, USD rose and printed a high of 162.70. USD then eased from the high to close at 162.58 (+0.30%). Although there has been no clear increase in upward momentum, there is scope for USD to test 162.80 before a

The Australian Dollar (AUD) trades marginally higher at around 0.6935 against the US Dollar (USD) during the European trading session on Thursday. The Aussie pair edges up as the US Dollar ticks lower despite escalating Middle East risks and hawkish Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Minutes of the June policy meeting. At press time, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which gauges the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades 0.13% lower to near 100.92. The attacks on Iranian infrastructure by United States (US) military forces signal that the restart of the war would last long, a scenario that might keep oil prices higher and the appeal of safe-haven assets upbeat. According to Axios, the US Air Force bombed two railway bridges in Iran on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the FOMC Minutes showed on Wednesday that policymakers are concerned about upside inflation risks a
The post AUD/JPY Price Forecast: Weakens to near 112.50, but uptrend remains constructive appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The AUD/JPY cross trades in negative territory around 112.62 during the early European trading hours on Thursday. The Japanese Yen (JPY) edges higher against the Australian Dollar (AUD) amid escalating tensions in the Middle East after US President Donald Trump said an interim agreement to end the war with Iran was “over.” Traders are also on high alert for possible intervention from Japanese officials. “The yen’s current weakness is excessive and fails to reflect the strong fundamentals of the Japanese economy, a misalignment that could prompt major central banks to launch coordinated intervention,” said Michael Nizard, head of multi-asset and overlay at Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management. Technical Analysis: In the daily chart, AUD/JPY holds above the 100-day moving average (MA) and the Bollinger Bands’ 20-day simple moving average (SMA), which together su
