A snapshot of Thursday's forex market trends, including the U.S. dollar's rebound, Eurozone inflation data, and Bitcoin's price movement.

On Thursday (August 31), spot gold fluctuated in a narrow range during the Asian session, and is currently trading near $1945.21 per ounce. The weak US economic data has deepened expectations that the Fed will temporarily suspend interest rate hikes this year, causing the US dollar index to hit a nearly two-week low near 102.92 on Wednesday and helping gold prices hit a nearly month high of $1948.90 per ounce on Wednesday.
The US GDP growth rate in the second quarter and ADP data released on Wednesday both missed expectations, helping to reduce pressure on the Fed to raise interest rates further. The dollar index staged another "dive" in the US session, falling below 103 round numbers at one point and closing down 0.37% at 103.18.
On Wednesday, the dollar saw its sharpest drop in a month and a half due to the prevailing sentiment among investors that the less-than-expected U.S. jobs data has reduced the chances of additional interest rate increases from the Federal Reserve. Concurrently, the Japanese yen has maintained its position close to 146 against the dollar, bouncing back from its 10-month nadir of 147.375. This resurgence was credited to a decrease in Treasury yields, which undermined backing for the U.S. currency.
After filing for a spot Bitcoin ETF, BlackRock triggered a substantial debate in the cryptocurrency market this year. The final result is uncertain and at the mercy of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Regardless, the company continues to remain invested in various aspects of the cryptocurrency industry, unbeknownst to many.
The AUD/USD reached two-week highs on Wednesday, boosted by a weaker US Dollar, but then pulled back, erasing all gains after failing to hold above 0.6500. The short-term bias is still to the upside but is losing momentum.
On Tuesday, the USD experienced a downturn triggered by disappointing US labor market statistics.
US indices ended in positive territory, successfully maintaining their gains propelled by the upward momentum from the Asian session. The larger Asian market experienced a widespread surge, largely driven by Chinese stocks buoyed by the authorities' actions to stimulate their domestic market by reducing stamp duty on stock transactions.
The gold response to the important economic events should have resulted in price growth amid the expectations for the cooling of the US economy and the end of the Fed’s monetary tightening cycle. However, the eventual result will depend on the actual data. Let's talk about this topic and draw up a trading plan.
On August 28, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published a press release noting that it has charged Impact Theory LLC with carrying out an unregistered provision of crypto asset securities as purported non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Wednesday's new economic data showed a cooling of the US economy, strengthening expectations that the Federal Reserve will suspend interest rate hikes in September.
