EU bourses are seen opening in the red today, while the EUR/USD is possibly in a corrective move as DXY index shows a
double top. Gold prices held steady this morning after rising above $1,280 in the previous session as weak U.S. data pushed
the dollar off its 2-year highs and reignited hopes of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve later this year. The overall risk off stance
could prevail today supporting spot gold and sending the USD/JPY lower.

Elsewhere, the Aussie remained subdued after Westpac bank gave a dovish forecast with 3x rate cuts in 2019, while PM Arden
saw lower growth for the NZD. Meanwhile, oil prices bounced back more than 1% this morning amid Middle East tensions, but
still did not fully recoup losses incurred earlier this week. Today’s risk-off tone could diminish demand for oil, and we could see
prices head back lower.
