  • EUR/USD upside trend appears to remain intact; Euro strength prevailing after ECB hiked rates for the seventh consecutive time; EUR/USD 1.1130s in sight, downside risk spotted near the 1.0940s
  • Technical traders could view Crude oil prices as “oversold; Brent crude finds price support near the $71.30s; although the upside prospects have improved, downside risk remains with $62.40s as potential next key support to be tested
  • Gold price higher on strong demand from China; China’s export growth is forecasted to slow which could add downside pressure for the Chinese Yuan, hence the increased gold demand from China
