According to AFP: A Hamas delegation will arrive in Cairo on Saturday to negotiate a future ceasefire agreement on Gaza hostages.According to Ukrainian Pravda: Russia lost 1,110 soldiers in the past 24 hours.On April 26, according to the Wall Street Journal, in order to simplify the negotiations on reciprocal tariffs, US negotiating officials plan to use a new framework developed by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), which lists major categories of negotiations, such as tariffs and quotas, non-tariff trade barriers, digital trade, product origin principles, economic security and other commercial issues. In these categories, US officials will put forward specific requirements for individual countries, but people familiar with the matter emphasized that this document may also be adjusted at any time. People familiar with the matter said that the United States initial plan is to negotiate with 18 major trading partners in turn over the next two months. The initial plan is to alternately participate in the talks with six countries per week for three weeks (six countries in the first week, another six countries in the second week, and another six countries in the third week) until the deadline of July 8. If US President Trump does not extend the 90-day suspension period he set by then, those countries that cannot reach an agreement will begin to face reciprocal tariffs.On April 26, after the United States announced additional tariffs on goods from many countries, Peruvian business people expressed concerns that the US governments extreme measures would disrupt the global trade order and may even trigger a global economic recession.

Wednesday's Doji and the ECB Economic Bulletin entice buyers below 1.0200 for the EUR/USD

During Thursday's mid-Asian session, the EUR/USD gets intriguing as it increases bids to 1.0165, supporting Wednesday's bullish Doji. However, the pair buyers anticipate that the recent decline in rates and the monthly Economic Bulletin from the ECB would provide support.

 

Having said that, the main currency pair had previously retested its weekly bottom before rebounding from 1.0122 to converge with the day's starting levels and produce a bullish Doji candlestick. In doing so, the quotation followed changes in the US currency and conflicting worries over the bloc's gas problem, as well as underwhelming statistics, in advance of Friday's crucial US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP).

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY), which earlier on Wednesday re-tested the weekly high with a price of 106.82, is still undecided at 106.35.

 

The US-China rivalry over Taiwan, as well as the disappointing Eurozone retail sales and better US PMIs, originally encouraged the greenback's gauge. The pre-NFP angst, however, seems to have been joined by higher stocks and a positive China PMI to test the DXY bulls. The report released by Bloomberg also gives EUR/USD buyers optimism.

 

The European Central Bank (ECB) stated that the fiscal support given to the euro area economies during the Russia-Ukraine war is increasing the region's GDP while momentarily bringing down inflation in a pre-release of its economic report issued on Tuesday and shared by Bloomberg.

 

While the US ISM Services PMI for July increased to 56.7 from 55.3 in June and the market forecast of 53.5, the Eurozone's retail sales decreased by 1.2 percent MoM in June compared to a 0.0 percent projected decline and 0.4 percent previous month. Additionally, from 52.7 in June and the flash estimate of 47, the final reading of the US S&P Global Services PMI for July fell to 47.3, representing the first decline in two years. Additionally, China's July Caixin Services PMI shocked investors with positive information.

 

It's important to note that recent Fed officials have generally been hawkish and have pushed back against the EUR/USD bulls. According to James Bullard, president of the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank, "there is still some distance to go to get to a restrictive monetary policy." The decision-maker expresses preference for the sort of frontloading while stating that he still hopes to reach 3.75 to 4 percent this year. Along with Bullard, Thomas Barkin and Neel Kashkari, the presidents of the Feds in Richmond and Minneapolis, joined the league of Fed hawks to apply downward pressure. The DXY bulls were later subdued, although San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly looked to have sent out conflicting signals. "Markets are ahead of themselves in expecting rate cuts next year," the policymaker added.

 

The S&P 500 Futures printed slight losses at the latest while the Wall Street benchmarks finished with substantial gains among these trades. Additionally, the US 10-year Treasury rates are still under pressure at 2.71 percent as of press time, down three basis points (bps).

 

Moving on, the US Good and Services Trade Balance for June, predicted to be $-80.1 billion vs $-85.5 billion previously, as well as the weekly Initial Jobless Claims, expected to be 259K versus 256K previously, will come before Germany's Factory Orders for June to embellish the calendar. Prior to Friday's US NFP, however, much focus will be placed on the remarks made by ECB and Fed leaders as well as the Sino-American conflict over Taiwan.

 

Prior to the 1.0200 level, there is a convergence of the prior support line from mid-July and the 10-DMA, which limits the short-term EUR/USD rebound. The 21-DMA and the Doji's bottom, which are located respectively at 1.0155 and 1.0120, may present difficulties for the intraday sellers.
