GBP/USD
GBP/USD treads water around 1.2630-20 heading into Wednesday’s London open as candlesticks and chart formations print mixed signals as US inflation data looms. In doing so, the Cable pair seesaws around the highest levels since May 2022, marked during early weekdays.
USD/JPY

AUD/USD
The AUD/USD pair has resumed its upside journey after a corrective move to near 0.6750 in the Tokyo session. A solid recovery in the Aussie asset is being supported by a further correction in the US Dollar Index (DXY). The USD Index has refreshed its day’s low at 101.54 as a delay in US debt ceiling issues is impacting the long-term outlook of the United States economy.

CRUDE OIL
WTI crude oil remains static around mid-$73.00s amid the early hours of Wednesday’s Asian session, after portraying a four-day rebound from the lowest levels since December 2021. In doing so, the black gold price portrays the market’s cautious mood ahead of the key US inflation data, as well as mixed clues from the ongoing US debt-ceiling talks in the White House. However, talks of the US readiness to refill the US Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) allow the WTI buyers to remain hopeful.
Gold price has entered a phase of consolidation near $2,030 early Wednesday, having witnessed two consecutive days of gains. The United States Dollar (USD) is pulling back from multi-day highs, snapping its recovery momentum ahead of the all-important Consumer Price Index (CPI) data.
