The investors were risk-off in the early European session despite modest gains on Tuesday. The inflation worries continue to cause turmoil in the market as Central bankers spell a gloomy future under the war cloud. UK inflation hit its highest level in 40 years while consumer sentiment continues to drop. Investors shift their focus to central bankers\u2019 speeches as inflation discussions top market worries.<\/p>

GBPUSD<\/a> faced aggressive selling pressure by losing -0.70% post-UK CPI decline. The latest UK CPI came out at 9.0% yearly and 2.5% for the monthly fuelling stagflation fears and weighing heavily on the British pound. Bulls failed to break the 1.2500 psychological mark causing the sterling to weaken across the board. The pair is moving up and down between 1.2370 and 1.2400 ahead of the US building permits and housing starts data. Sterling bears may win the 1.2100 mark in the long term.<\/p>

EURGBP<\/a> took a stand early European session post GBP’s CPI data release. The pair rose +0.48% following ECB’s Rehn’s comment to move rates quickly out of negative territory giving the Euro a hawkish push. Eurozone’s inflation rose 7.4% in April on an annualized basis, disappointing by 0.1% from the previous reading. The core figures rose by 3.5% meeting expectations of the market causing the pair to breathe from the 0.8493 established resistance in the European session.<\/p>

However, if the bulls hold the 0.8450 resistance turned support, the pair may soar towards 0.8500 in the near term ahead of ECB’s McCaul, German Buba Balz and Beerman speeches later in the New York session.<\/p>

AUDJPY<\/a> slumped by -0.34% from 91.16 resistance following Aussie’s wages miss. The AUDJPY bears moved in after the AUD’s wages price index data came at 0.7% vs the expected 0.8%. The data was accompanied by stronger JPY GDP data at -0.2% against forecasted -0.4% quarterly along with Japanese industrial production for March at 0.3% as expected. The Yen picking up a haven bid may add to the downside of the Aussie. Traders should lookout for a retest of 86.20 in the long term.<\/p>

Gold<\/a> price gains +0.24% above the 1800mark as it licks its wounds after Tuesday’s rejection from the 1835.89 resistance. The yellow metal’s price however remains vulnerable amid a risk-averse mood that is triggered by the US Dollar’s rebound.<\/p>

Fed’s Powell\u2019s focus on hiking rates more than neutral may also do a number on gold\u2019s bearish outlook. If the downside momentum continues 1800 may be taken out towards 1787-mark,2-day support. Furthermore, gold buyers will face resistance at 1822 broken support turned resistance.<\/p>

European stocks shaded off yesterday’s gains with FTSE 100<\/a> losing -0.21% from the 7500 resistance. The downside momentum is challenged by 7490 and 7400 psychological figures. CAC40<\/a> lost -0.61%, tumbling from 6460.3 which is currently an 8-day resistance. A continuation to the downside may give bears 6400 and 6350 respectively in the near term.<\/p>

In US stocks futures, S&P 500<\/a> is down -0.85% with a bullish cap at 4095. Stronger bears may reclaim the 4000 mark and 3950 in the near term. Nasdaq<\/a> bulls failed to breach the 12600-level losing -1.08%. If 12400 fails to hold, a retest of 12240 may be seen in the near term. Dow Jones<\/a> gave up -0.70% from yesterday\u2019s gains and is rallying towards 32191 yesterday’s support.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
