The USD despite some slight support in today\u2019s Asian session, remains near three-year lows against its counterparts. On a fundamental level, there is intense interest for US President Trump\u2019s tariff wars and his 9th of July deadline, which is nearing. The US President seems confident that trade deals will be achieved yet market uncertainty remains high. Any further signs of escalation in the international trade relationships could weigh on the USD and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a monetary level, we note the market\u2019s expectations for Australia\u2019s RBA to deliver three more rate cuts by the end of the year. Hence, RBA\u2019s interest rate decision in tomorrow\u2019s Asian session, is to garner significant attention from Aussie traders. The market is expecting the bank to cut rates in tomorrow\u2019s Asian session, with AUD OIS currently implying an 93.41% probability for such a scenario to materialize. In turn should the bank\u2019s accompanying statement be perceived as dovish in nature, ie implying that they may continue cutting rates down the road as is currently expected it could weigh on the Aussie. Should the bank imply that they may deviate from such a path, it may be perceived as hawkish in nature which could provide asymmetric support for AUD as the market may be caught by surprise and be forced to re-adjust its expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AUD\/USD dropped in today\u2019s Asian session, breaking the 0.6515 (R1) support line, now turned to resistance. The RSI indicator though, despite dropping, remains close to the reading of 50, implying that the market is rather indecisive for the pair\u2019s direction. For a bearish outlook, we would require the pair to break the 0.6340 (S1) support line opening the gates for the 0.6130 (S2) support level. For a bullish outlook, which we currently view as remote, we would require the pair to break the 0.6515 (R1) resistance line and continue to also break the 0.6690 (R2) resistance level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For EUR traders we note today\u2019s financial releases of Germany\u2019s industrial orders for May and Euro Zone\u2019s Sentix index for July. On a deeper fundamental level, we note the no confidence vote for EU Commission President Von der Leyen in the EU Parliament. We expect the EU Commission President to survive the vote yet concessions may have to be made to the left and right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EUR\/USD edged lower in today\u2019s Asian session, yet the price action is reflecting a relative stabilisation between the 1.1690 (S1) support line and the 1.1905 (R1) resistance level. We maintain our bullish outlook for the pair as long as the upward trendline guiding the pair since the 13th of May remains intact. The RSI indicator despite correcting lower remains near the reading of 70, implying an easing but still strong bullish sentiment on behalf of market participants for the pair. Should the bulls maintain control, we may see it aiming if not breaking the 1.1905 (R1) line, and start aiming for the 1.2115 (R2) level. Should the bears take over, EUR\/USD could drop, breaking the 1.1690 (S1) line and start aiming for the 1.1450 (S2) level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
