EUR/USD
The EUR/USD pair extends the overnight modest pullback from the 1.0530-1.0535 region, or its highest level since December 17 and attracts heavy follow-through selling during the Asian session on Tuesday. Spot prices currently trade around the 1.0430 area, down over 0.50% for the day and seem vulnerable to weaken further amid a strong pickup in the US Dollar (USD) demand.
GBP/USD
The GBP/USD pair halts its three-day winning streak as the British Pound (GBP) faces headwinds due to growing market expectations of a near-certain rate cut by the Bank of England (BoE) to 4.5% at its upcoming meeting. During Tuesday’s Asian session, the pair trades around 1.2440.
USD/JPY
USD/JPY builds on the overnight bounce from a six-week low and regains 155.50 in Tuesday’s Asian trading.Softer Japanese service-sector inflation data provided extra legs to the pair’s recovery. Moreover, US President Donald Trump’s tariff plans-led USD strength underpins USD/JPY.
AUD/USD
AUD/USD extends losses to test 0.6250 amid mounting trade war fears, fueled by US President Trump’s tariff plans. Furthermore, RBA rate cut bets, China’s economic woes and a modest US Dollar strength amid risk aversion drag the Aussie away from over a one-month peak.
NZD/USD
The NZD/USD pair attracts some sellers to around 0.5670 during the early Asian session on Tuesday. The US Dollar (USD) gains traction due to US President Donald Trump’s tariff threats. Later on Tuesday, the US Durable Goods Orders, the Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence, and the Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index will be released.
USD/CAD
The USD/CAD pair extends its gains for the second consecutive session, trading near 1.4400 during Tuesday’s Asian session. On the daily chart, the pair remains within an ascending channel, highlighting a prevailing bullish trend.
USD/CHF
USD/CHF recovers its recent losses from the previous two sessions, trading around 0.9050 during the Asian hours on Tuesday. The upside of the pair could be attributed to the improved US Dollar (USD) following tariff threats made by US President Donald Trump.
CRUDE OIL
Oil prices ticked up but hovered near a two-week low on Tuesday after weak economic data from China and warming weather forecasts elsewhere soured the demand outlook.
Gold price licks its wounds following the sharp pullback from three-month highs just shy of the all-time peak of $2,790. Gold trades take account of the latest tariff talks by US President Donald Trump and his administration as attention turns toward mid-tier US economic data and Federal Reserve policy announcements.
