In a dynamic trading session on Wednesday, the focus has shifted to forthcoming US data releases and testimony by Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey. Meanwhile, European currency markets are reacting positively to Germany's proposed debt break reforms. The Euro, buoyed by these developments, extends its gains against the US Dollar, while other key market indicators show mixed reactions.
The Euro is benefitting from the optimism surrounding Germany's planned fiscal reforms, which aim to provide more flexibility in managing national debt. This has helped EUR/USD extend its bounce above 1.0650 during the European session. Concurrently, GBP/USD remains steady near the 1.2800 level in European trading hours, with investors closely monitoring Bailey's testimony for further insights into monetary policy.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is experiencing a significant rally, up over 7%, trading around $342. This surge follows a successful retest of its key support level. On-chain metrics indicate a bullish outlook for BCH, as transaction rates reach new highs and open interest shows an upward trend.
The US Dollar hovers near a three-month low, influenced by concerns over slowing economic growth in the US and recent stimulus measures by China. Markets await key US economic data releases, which could provide further clarity on the economic trajectory. Gold prices are holding steady above $2,900, recovering from a recent dip to $2,833.
