The dollar bid that wouldn't clock out kept the payroll going into the US close — EUR/USD (1.14691) and GBP/USD (1.33731) still pinned low in their ranges, USD/JPY (157.482) leaning higher, gold (4342.88) still boxed between 4333.73 and 4359.91 — while bond yields cranked higher and oil's surge dragged US stocks lower on Strait of Hormuz uncertainty. So today continues that story rather than reverses it.
No US releases land in this window, but the microphones stay busy: FOMC members Bowman, Cook and Barkin speak (low-tier, USD) alongside ECB President Lagarde (medium-tier, EUR). The real event risk sits with the Aussie — the RBA's Cash Rate decision and Rate Statement (high-tier, AUD), plus the Press Conference (medium-tier), with Household Spending m/m (low-tier) alongside. Also on the docket: BRC Shop Price Index y/y (GBP, low), KOF Economic Barometer (CHF, low), and Spanish Flash CPI y/y (EUR, low).
On the barometer, the stretched pairs are still stretched: EUR/USD neutral (H4 RSI 39.4, floor 1.14623 just below), GBP/USD neutral (H4 RSI 40.9), USD/JPY leaning bullish (H4 RSI 66.2, H1 bands at their tightest in 120 bars — energy building). Gold's higher-timeframe read stays bearish, and oil is the one stretching its legs, up 0.75% over the last 8h with M15 RSI at 63. Watch whether the dollar bid extends or those pairs finally breathe — and whether the Fed speakers or the RBA give it a nudge either way.
