A raging US equity market fuelled by soft data, a drop in treasury yields and blowout earnings from NVDA (which saw its stock price hit an all-time high) saw risk-on trading through Wednesdays session.

USD was choppy on Wednesday with an initial rally in DXY, which saw it briefly pierce the major resistance at 103.60, dramatically reversing course on big misses in US Manufacturing and Services PMIs which showed the US economy contracting faster than forecast. DXY hovering just above lows of 103.30 at the close after the earlier rally (driven by EUR weakness after their own PMIs disappointed) saw a high of 103.980.

AUD and NZD were among G10 outperformers, with AUD benefitting more from the risk-on sentiment outperforming the NZD to see AUDNZD hit a 10 day high of 1.0846. Rallies in iron ore and gold prices also helping the AUD. AUDUSD continued its bounce from the 0.6400 support level to highs of 0.6482, the next key level is the big figure at 0.6500 which until recently had been major support and now likely to be the next resistance level and certainly a key level to watch.

GBP was the G10 underperformer as dire PMI readings saw the Sterling Bears in charge. Services and Manufacturing figures all sharply declined, slipping into contractionary territory. GBPUSD printed a low of 1.2616 after the figures after hitting a high of 1.2717 earlier in the session. GBPUSD did bounce back to regain the key 1.2700 level in the US session though, recouping most of its losses on positive risk sentiment and the USD slide on its own weak PMI figures.

JPY outperformed with tumbling US treasury yields saw rate differentials tighten, taking the pressure off the USDJPY. USDJPY crashed below the key “intervention” level at 145 after printing an earlier high of 145.89. The Yen was also supported by a beat in Japanese PMI data. The next big data point for Yen watchers will be the Tokyo CPI figure released tomorrow, with the 145 level key to the next move in USDJPY.

Gold blasted higher in Wednesdays session, blowing through the 1902 resistance level and not finding any real selling until 1920, the high set back on 11th of August. A weak USD and more importantly catering US Treasury Yields lending a big tailwind to the precious metal.

In yesterdays economic announcements, not much in the way of tier one releases with Jackson Hole looming on Friday. US unemployment claims being the headline.

Multi-Asset Liquidity Solution in 2026: Expand Instruments Without Fragmenting Execution

A multi-asset liquidity solution can help a broker support FX, CFDs, commodities, and indices through a more unified operating model. But adding asset classes can also create fragmented symbols, pricing, routing, margin rules, records, and client messages if controls are not designed first. This 2026 guide explains how a multi asset liquidity provider, forex CFD liquidity setup, commodity liquidity provider, and indices liquidity provider fit into a broker-owned execution service. It outlines the due-diligence questions, shared-control model, cost drivers, and 90-day implementation plan that help teams expand without making the execution chain harder to explain. The aim is not to promise deeper liquidity or better trading outcomes. It is to create evidence that a broker can supervise market access, trace order events, reconcile costs, and communicate consistently to the relevant clients when conditions are difficult.

XAU/USD Hits $4,500: Washington Bought Bonds—and Gold Exploded

Gold surged above $4,500 after the US Treasury expanded its purchases of longer-dated government bonds, pushing yields and the dollar lower. But this was not debt forgiveness or Federal Reserve money printing—it was a liquidity operation that exposed a much bigger fear: America may be finding it increasingly difficult to live with market-driven interest rates.
