However, the energy commodity soon unwound its gains while investors remained anxious about trade developments leading up to the August 1 tariffs deadline.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gold<\/strong>, which had been on the back foot during the Asian session, regained its footing during the latter part of the London session as safe-haven flows ticked higher on reports that the limited trade deal between the U.S. and India has been ruled out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Equities<\/strong> were also on wobbly ground while trade-related jitters lingered, with the Nasdaq snapping its six-day winning streak to close 0.39% lower while the S&#038;P 500 index raked in a meager 0.06% gain. <strong>Treasury yields<\/strong> took a nasty tumble around the time Trump spoke of Fed head Powell being \u201cout soon\u201d and that interest rates should be much lower.<\/p>\n<h2>FX Market Behavior: U.S. Dollar vs. Majors:<\/h2>\n<p>The Greenback, which was in continuous selloff mode the previous day, managed a shallow pullback during Asian market hours. NZD chalked up additional losses on account of a downbeat trade balance while AUD also dipped when the RBA meeting minutes revealed that further easing is likely.<\/p>\n<p>Dollar rallies hit a ceiling right around the time European markets opened, with BOE Governor Bailey highlighting that short USD is the \u201cmost crowded trade in the market\u201d and that rising U.K. yields are reflective of trade policy uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>Further dollar declines were seen as the U.S. Richmond manufacturing index fell short of estimates, followed by commentary from Trump on how borrowing costs should be at 1%. This was underscored by Treasury Secretary Bessent\u2019s speech emphasizing that they have called for an internal investigation of the Fed.<\/p>\n<p>By session\u2019s end, USD closed lower across the board for another day so far this week, as the \u201cSell America\u201d sentiment appeared to be building up while the August 1 tariffs deadline looms and the pressure is on the Fed to lower interest rates.<\/p>\n<h2>Upcoming Potential Catalysts on the Economic Calendar<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>U.S. MBA Mortgage Applications at 11:00 am GMT<\/li>\n<li>Canada New Housing Price Index at 12:30 pm GMT<\/li>\n<li>Euro area Consumer Confidence Flash at 2:00 pm GMT<\/li>\n<li>U.S. Existing Home Sales at 2:00 pm GMT<\/li>\n<li>U.S. EIA Crude Oil Stocks Change\u00a0at 2:30 pm GMT<\/li>\n<li>Australia S&#038;P Global Services PMI Flash at 11:00 pm GMT<\/li>\n<li>Australia S&#038;P Global Manufacturing PMI Flash\u00a0at 11:00 pm GMT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There\u2019s not much in the way of top-tier data releases in today\u2019s schedule, which leaves traders more space to focus on tariffs-related headlines and U.S. trade deals.
