• EUR/USD

  Sideways after early-week rally · last read 20:01 UTC at 1.14418

  EUR/USD spiked off Monday's 1.1378 low into the 1.1482 range top mid-week, then settled into a tight consolidation with a run of lower highs capping rallies.

• GBP/USD

  Uptrend pullback, stabilising · last read 20:02 UTC at 1.34592

  Cable spiked to 1.3556 midweek on the GBP short-squeeze then faded two sessions toward 1.3426 as the USD firmed on safe-haven flows and solid US data.

• USD/JPY

  Uptrend, momentum flat near cycle highs · last read 20:02 UTC at 162.365

  USDJPY has ground higher on rising lows since the 161.60 dip earlier in the week, with the yen pinned near 40-year lows as firmer oil and US-Iran risk underpin the dollar.

• USD/CHF

  Downtrend, now consolidating · last read 20:02 UTC at 0.80718

  USDCHF sold off hard from Monday's ~0.8145 open, with the dominant leg breaking sub-0.8100 as soft US inflation earlier in the week pared Fed-hike bets.

• USD/CAD

  Downtrend, momentum slowing near 1.4000 · last read 20:02 UTC at 1.40092

  USDCAD has trended lower all week from the 1.4155 Monday high toward the 1.4000 one-month low, with firm oil underpinning CAD and the BoC's dovish-balanced hold at 2.25% doing little to reverse the slide.

• AUD/USD

  Week uptrend stalled, fading · last read 20:03 UTC at 0.69836

  AUDUSD opened the week near 0.6917 and rallied ~1.5% on softer US CPI, tagging 0.7021 before stalling at the 50-day EMA/0.7000 handle.

• NZD/USD

  Uptrend stalling, now ranging · last read 20:03 UTC at 0.58434

  NZD/USD rallied from 0.5740 at Monday's open to a weekly high near 0.5863 mid-week, powered by hawkish RBNZ repricing before risk-off USD demand capped it.

• XAU/USD

  Downtrend this week, bouncing off lows · last read 20:03 UTC at 4,013.29

  Gold ran to 4103 midweek on the soft PPI print before Middle East / oil-driven Fed-hike fears reversed it into an 8-month low at 3959.70.

• XAG/USD

  Downtrend, stabilising near lows · last read 20:03 UTC at 56.094

  Silver capped a brutal week down ~7% from the 59.64 peak to a fresh YTD low at 54.77, before basing through the NY session with a double bottom near 54.8-54.9 and a modest recovery back above EMA(20) to 56.09.

  Recovering after midweek pullback · last read 20:04 UTC at 64,027.49
