- In the meantime, the data from Germany revealed on Tuesday that inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), declined to 8.6% on a yearly basis in December from 10% in November.

The US Dollar’s valuation is likely to continue to drive EUR/USD’s action in the second half of the day with American investors returning from the three-day weekend.
- EUR/USD has breached the rising trendline support at 1.0630, with a daily closing below it awaited to confirm a symmetrical triangle breakdown. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dipped sharply toward the 50.00 level from around 70.00, justifying the latest downtick. On the other side, EUR/USD needs to recapture the 21DMA support-turned-resistance to attempt a tepid bounce. Further up, the triangle support now resistance will come into play.

- The key driver in Gold’s correction was a rally of the US Dollar against G10 currencies. The DXY is off highs, up by 1%. Now it is retreating across the board, favoring the bounce back to the upside in the yellow metal.
- Economic data released on Tuesday showed inflation slowed in Germany in December more than expected. German bond yields are falling with the 10-year yield down by almost 3% at 2.36%, far from the 2.57% of last week. US yields are also lower with the 10-year at 3.74%. The decline in yields and the rebound in risk appetite during the last hours, offered support to Gold prices and a modest boost back to the $1,840 area. S&P futures are up by 0.63%.
- Gold price has delivered a breakout of the Ascending Triangle chart pattern formed on a four-hour scale. The horizontal resistance of the aforementioned chart pattern is placed from December 13 high at $1,824.55 while the upward-sloping trendline is plotted from December 16 low at $1,774.36.

USD/JPY
- USD/JPY reversed its direction and sharply rose toward 131.00 after having touched its lowest level since late May at 129.50 during the Asian trading hours. The pair, however, lost its bullish momentum and was last seen losing 0.25% on the day at 130.40.
- The sudden US Dollar strength in the European morning provided a boost to the pair on Tuesday. Earlier in the day, the Japanese yen gathered strength on growing expectations of a hawkish Bank of Japan (BOJ) policy shift. Over the weekend, Nikkei reported that the BOJ was considering raising its inflation forecasts for 2023 and 2024 in January.
- The BoJ is due to meet again this month, on January 18. Given the tweaks made to its yield curve-control policy last month, there is a greater sense of anticipation that further adjustments could be forthcoming between now and the end of Governor Kuroda’s tenure in April and potentially as soon as this month. In the past 5 days, the JPY has appreciated by over 2% vs. the USD suggesting that the speculators are already positioning for a more hawkish outcome from the BoJ later this month. Implied market rates are pointing to a rate hike from the BoJ into positive territory within a 6 month view. Before it raises rates, however, the BoJ could first inject greater flexibility into its YCC policy. The market is likely to be disappointed if BoJ policy makers offer nothing new on the policy front this month
- USD/JPY has already fallen back substantially since its highs near 151.95 in late October. This factor combined with the still hawkish Fed is likely to limit to extent of further near-term downside in the currency pair. That said, the currency pair is currently trading close to near-term support at the May low of 130.41. A close below would open up scope for a fall to the May low around 126.36
- Technical indicators also suggest the bearish strength. RSI stabilized around 33, while the Momentum indicator continued developing below the midline, suggests downward potentials.

On upside, overcome 33300 may encourage bulls to challenge 33650, break above this level will open the gate to 34000.
- Technical indicators suggest the neutral condition. RSI stabilize at around 50, while the Momentum indicator stabilize around 0, On downside, the immediate support is 33000, break below this level will open the gate for more decline to 32850 area.
