After the S&P500 turned positive for the year yesterday, market sentiment has soured ahead of tomorrow\u2019s FOMC meeting, where no major changes are expected to the policy rate or QE program.<\/p>\n

The main data this morning has been Eurozone Q1 GDP which was revised slightly upward to -3.6%, an historic decline caused by domestic lockdowns. While all the talk is about reflation and recovery, a V-shaped scenario is still not locked in yet as job losses pile up and investment stays subdued.<\/p>\n

US stock futures and oil are cooling off after their recent surges, while king dollar and havens like the yen and gold are rallying.<\/p>\n

GBP\/USD pushes above 1.27<\/strong><\/p>\n

Broader USD weakening had seen cable push above 1.27 supported by lockdown easing measures and despite the impasse in UK-EU negotiations.<\/p>\n

The trend channel from the May lows still remains intact as prices trade around the 200d Moving Average at 1.2681. Only a break below 1.2560\/1.25 will indicate the positive phase in GBP has run its course and signal a clearer downturn.<\/p>\n

EUR\/USD eyes three-month high\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

After making a three-month high at 1.3184 last week and rising to its most oversold since early-March, the world\u2019s most popular currency pair has inevitably pulled back as upward momentum has started to wane.<\/p>\n

Key resistance now looms at that Friday high with support around 1.1250.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

AUD\/USD takes a breather\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The recently high-flying aussie is the weakest major, down 1.3% on the day with the other commodity currencies all in the red.<\/p>\n

With a decent bid for havens over the last couple of sessions. the classic risk barometer \u2013 AUDJPY \u2013 has been hit hard after making highs not seen since mid-2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Commodity Spotlight: Gold<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the pro-risk mood fades, so gold is staging a rally this week. Bulls will initially be looking to reclaim the April peak around $1747, before an assault on the cycle high at $1765. If sentiment turns back towards more risky assets, expect ranging trading with $1670 acting as support below.<\/p>\n
