Read: Forex Today: Mixed trade in absence of market-moving news, DXY on the backfoot Nothing is safer than gold… Amid all the noise surrounding the record surge in the US coronavirus (COVID-19) cases and the Sino-American tension, the precious metal buyers chose to pick the greenback weakness to refresh the multi-year high on Wednesday. Also adding to the bull’s strength were doubts over further equity gains and volatile performances of other investment avenues. New cases from the US crossed a 3.0 million mark with a rise of over 60,000. Further, the latest update from the Texas Health Department suggests new cases rise by 9,979 to 220,564 on Wednesday while marking the biggest daily increase since pandemic started. On the contrary, cases in Tokyo slipped to 75, the first below-100 reading in seven days, while Victoria also marked a receding figure of 134 versus 191 on the previous day. Furthermore, Beijing is keeping its zero virus case level while also inching closer to a third trial of the vaccine. Elsewhere, the US diplomats continue to attack China with harder policies. Recently, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo raised bars for the diplomats from Beijing to get American visas. The Trump administration official is also in talks with others, excluding US President Donald Trump, to undermine the Hong Kong dollar peg. Though, the dragon nation defies everything and opens a new security office in Hong Kong. It should also be noted that investors have recently started doubting further rallies in the global stocks, not only Wall Street. The moves could be seen in the rush towards cryptos and gold as well as the surge in Bank of Japan’s (BOJ) surge in deposits to the fresh landmark. Amid all these plays, US equities marked gains below 1.0% whereas the US 10-year Treasury yields rose to 0.66% by the end of Wednesday. Additionally, S&P 500 Futures add 0.13% to 3,167 by the press time. While the virus updates and news concerning China could keep the driver’s seat, the June month Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) from the dragon nation will offer immediate clues ahead of the US weekly jobless. With the anticipated recovery in China’s inflation data, in a contrast to softness in American numbers, the bullion buyers may find hardships in extending the latest rally. Technical analysis Unless slipping back below the year 2012 top near $1,795, the bullion is less likely to part ways from the run-up to the record high above $1,900.

WTI stays mildly bid above $41.00 while remaining above 100-HMA.Multiple failures to cross $41.15 confront a bullish chart formation on a short timeframe.June month’s top, February low will be on the buyers’ radar after a successful break.Bears are likely to seek entries below $39.90.WTI seesaws around $41.00 during the pre-Tokyo open on Thursday. Considering the oil benchmark’s repeated failure to overcome $41.15 during the week, coupled with Tuesday’s bounce off $39.96, the rounding bottom bullish chart pattern is clearing coming up on the hourly play. Other than the upside suggesting formation, bullish MACD and the sustained trading beyond 100-HMA also favor the optimists. Though, a clear break of $41.15 becomes necessary for the bulls to attack June month’s top near $41.65. In a case where the black gold remains positive after crossing the previous month’s high, February’s low around $44.00 will be on their radars. It’s worth mentioning that December 2018 low near $42.45 can act as an intermediate halt during the rise. Meanwhile, a confluence of 200-HMA and 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of June 23-25 fall, around $39.90, becomes near-term strong support to watch during the quote’s fresh weakness below 100-HMA immediate rest-point of $40.54. Should the oil prices decline below $39.90, 50% Fibonacci retracement around $39.40 holds the gate for the quote’s additional downside towards the sub-$38.00 region.

NZD/USD extends recoveries from 0.6570 to re-try breaking June month top for the third time in a week.New Zealand’s ANZ Truckometer data suggest overall traffic is nearly back to year-ago levels.Bulls cheer broad rally in Antipodeans amid greenback weakness and a surge in commodities.China’s June month inflation numbers, Aussie housing figures and US Jobless Claims to join qualitative catalysts for immediate direction.NZD/USD remains firm around 0.6575 during the early Thursday morning in Asia. In doing so, the kiwi pair defies the second reversal from 0.6581 while taking a U-turn from 0.6570 before a few minutes. While the pair’s latest up-move could be attributed to New Zealand’s ANZ Truckometer data from June, Wednesday’s upbeat performance might be compared with the US dollar weakness and gains in equities and commodities. ANZ Truckometer data for June mentions the rise of 14.5% in Heavy Traffic whereas Light Traffic Index surged 28%. In addition to terming it back-to-normal conditions, the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group’s (ANZ) report also states, “Light traffic on the weekend remains the weakest type of travel compared to a year ago, despite calls to embark on domestic tourist adventures.” The US dollar index (DXY) dropped to the June 23 low before settling around 96.50 by the end of Wednesday. The greenback gauge might have taken clues from the surge in the coronavirus (COVID-19) numbers that rose past-3.0 million. The latest updates from the Texas Health Department suggest new cases rise by 9,979 to 220,564 on Wednesday while marking the biggest daily increase since pandemic started. It should also be noted that the US health officials are also a little optimistic about the vaccine, likely to be rolled out by the year-end, which in turn exerts additional pressure on the US currency. Other than the pandemic woes, the US-China tussle also drags the USD. News that the American diplomats, not including President Donald Trump, are weighing in a proposal to undermine the Hong Kong dollar peg offered a major blow to the market’s worries concerning the Sino-American tension. Also signaling the intensified relations among the world’s top two economies are the latest hardships introduced by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo over the Chinese diplomats seeking visas. It’s worth mentioning that the surge in the virus cases in the largest customer Australia should have also weighed down the pair. Though, the US dollar weakness supersedes everything. While portraying the market mood, Wall Street marked a mildly positive closing on Wednesday whereas the US 10-year Treasury yields gained to 0.66%. Further, S&P 500 Futures also follow the footsteps of American equities while taking rounds to 3,167 as we write. With China’s June month inflation numbers up for publishing, kiwi traders are less likely to attempt any major moves, while keep attacking 0.6580/85 zone, ahead of the data. As per market consensus, the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) data from 2.4% to 2.5% YoY whereas the Producer Price Index (PPI) is also expected to bounce off -3.7% to -3.2% on a yearly basis. Following that, Australia’s Home Loans and Investment Lending for Homes are also likely to portray recoveries from the lockdown period whereas likely weakness in the US Jobless Claims might help the kiwi pair to overcome the key upside barrier. Technical analysis Considering the repeated failure to cross 0.6580/85 resistance area, coupled with overbought RSI conditions, NZD/USD bulls might not risk entries at the moment. On the contrary, the pair’s downside break of June 23 top near 0.6530 could renew selling pressure towards 0.6500.  

As per the latest estimates from the US Congressional Budget Office (CBO), published during the early Thursday morning in Asia, the federal budget deficit in June 2020 was $863 billion, compared with a deficit of $8 billion in the same month last year. The report also says that the increase stems from the economic disruption caused by the 2020 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and from the federal government’s response to it, including actions by the Administration and the enactment of four pieces of legislation. It was additionally mentioned that the federal budget deficit was $2.7 trillion in the first nine months of the fiscal year 2020, CBO estimates, a $2.0 trillion more than the deficit recorded during the same period last year. “Revenues were 13 percent lower and outlays were 49 percent higher through June 2020 than during the same nine-month period in the fiscal year 2019,” as per the update. The CBO estimates that receipts in June totaled $242 billion—$92 billion (or 28 percent) less than those in June 2019. FX implications The news becomes a US dollar negative announcement and could exert additional downside pressure on the greenback. That said, the US dollar index (DXY) dropped to the lowest since June 23 while taking rounds to 96.50 by the press time.

Amid the Pacific major’s tussle with China, Australia shows readiness to offer Tiananmen-style visas to Hong Kong residents currently in the nation, per the Sydney Morning Herald. The news also mentions that the move comes up as the federal cabinet considers tearing up an extradition treaty with the Chinese territory. Key quotes The move will mark the most significant offer to Chinese migrants from an Australian Prime Minister since Bob Hawke offered 27,000 students in Australia places following the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989. Scott Morrison will on Wednesday night assess cabinet proposals to provide safe haven to thousands of students and other temporary migrants from Hong Kong already in Australia. Cabinet will also examine ways to bolster skills and investor stream places for those looking to leave Hong Kong after Beijing introduced extraordinary new national security laws that will criminalize dissent in the former British colony. Hong Kong's newly established National Security Office on Wednesday occupied a major hotel that towers above Victoria Park, a popular protest site, and replaced the Metropark Hotel's icon with China's national emblem. Market implications The move could spark fresh risk-off sentiment if China chose to retaliate, which it most likely be. However, no immediate reaction could be witnessed as the AUD/USD pair stays unchanged around 0.6980 while keep attacking 0.7000 for the fourth time in a week during Thursday morning in Asia.

AUD/USD portrays a fourth attempt to pierce the key 0.7000 threshold.Broad US dollar weakness, upbeat equities and commodities helped Aussie to ignore pandemic fears.Australian policymakers escalate efforts to tame the coronavirus spread, US-China tussle intensifies.China inflation data, Australian housing market figures and US Jobless Claims to decorate the calendar.AUD/USD again face a wall of resistance, 0.7000 threshold, while taking rounds to 0.6980 at the start of Thursday’s Asian session. The aussie has been attacking the psychological magnet since the week’s start but haven’t succeeded so far. That said, the quote flashed a positive daily closing the previous day, the second time in a week, despite worries concerning the coronavirus (COVID-19) resurgence and the Sino-American tension. Bulls cheer gold’s glitter, stocks’ shine and greenback’s weakness… Although pandemic concerns are turning worrisome in Australia and abroad, the AUD/USD buyers remain on the driver’s seat amid broad US dollar declines. The moves could also be attributed to Gold’s fresh high since 2011, to $1,818, as well as a mildly positive market performance by Wall Street and stocks in China. In addition to recalling the lockdown in Melbourne and surrounding cities, the Aussie diplomats also announced a delay in the easing of lockdown restrictions in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The hearth of Australia has already shunned entries from Victoria and Melbourne. Further, Australian Treasurer Josh Frydenberg suggested an extension of the government’s income support schemes beyond the initial limit of September. Amid all these, cases in Victoria receded from 191 to 134 on Tuesday. Over the counter, the US marked a record-breaking 60,000 new COVID-19 cases that propelled the total new count beyond three million. Considering the situation, US top health official Dr. Fauci shows a little optimism towards the vaccine which is likely to be available by the year-end. Even so, St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard remains optimistic while anticipating softness in the Unemployment rate. Elsewhere, the Trump administration continues to show its angst against China, mainly due to the latest Hong Kong security bill. The latest news suggests that the US diplomats are considering undermining the Hong Kong dollar peg after raising bars for Beijing policymakers for visas over Tibet issue. Though, China doesn’t care about it and opened a new security office in Hong Kong on Tuesday. Against this backdrop, Wall Street benchmarks registered gains below 1.0% by the end of Tuesday’s trading while the US 10-year Treasury yields recovered around 1.8 basis points to 0.66%. Moving on, traders might pause the run-up ahead of June month inflation data from the largest customer China. Forecasts suggest recoveries in the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) data from 2.4% to 2.5% YoY whereas the Producer Price Index (PPI) is also expected to bounce off -3.7% to -3.2% on a yearly basis. Further, Australian Home Loans and Investment Lending for Homes, as well as weekly US Jobless Claims, are some other data that should be watched for immediate trade direction. However, all these shouldn’t dim the prospect of the virus updates and headlines concerning China to move the markets. Technical analysis The pair’s sustained trading beyond a confluence of 21-day SMA and an upward sloping trend line from May 15, around 0.6910/05, keeps it on the bulls’ radars. However, buyers remain cautious considering multiple failures to cross 0.7000, a break of which could escalate the north-run to attack June month’s high of 0.7065.
