In somewhat similar vein, GBP/USD has also fallen past both its 100 and 200-hour moving averages and is down 0.5% to 1.3440 on the day.
The commodity currencies are also seen struggling with USD/CAD up 0.3% to 1.3675 and AUD/USD down 0.4% to 0.6560 currently. The latter is facing a setback after an attempted breakout above 0.6600 yesterday as it also falls back below its 100-hour moving average of 0.6565 at the moment.
In the equities space, European stocks got off to a rough start after Volkswagen disappointed on earnings and also lowered its full-year guidance, citing negative impact from Trump's tariffs. Meanwhile, luxury brand LVMH also reported weaker quarterly sales and that saw French stocks dip at the open before paring those losses for now.
In other markets, gold is marked down once again as the fall continues upon the rejection of the highs around $3,430-35. The precious metal is down another 0.8% to $3,340 but is this time accompanied by declines in cryptocurrencies as well. Bitcoin fell by over 3% earlier on to two-week lows under $116,000 but dip buyers are seen holding the line ahead of US trading now.
As we look to next week, trade headlines remain the key thing to focus on but keep in mind that we'll also be getting big tech earnings in the week ahead whilst having to navigate through month-end trading conditions. That is not to mention Trump's 1 August deadline falling on the same day as the US jobs report. It's going to be a fun one.
