AUD/USD slumps towards 70c as surging US yields and a stronger dollar overshadow Australian jobs data and the RBA outlook.

The trading week continues, and for now gold remains under notable pressure in the short term. This can be seen in the performance of XAU/USD over the last three trading sessions, where the metal has declined by more than 2.00%, bringing a bearish bias back into focus after it had lost momentum in recent weeks.

The week has not been particularly favorable for the euro. Over the last three trading sessions, EUR/USD has declined by nearly 0.5%, once again highlighting a meaningful bearish bias in the short term.

Today's session has not been particularly favorable for the euro. Recent EUR/USD price action shows a decline of approximately 0.2% in favor of the U.S. dollar, a move largely driven by the release of the U.S. PCE inflation report and the recent recovery seen in the bond market.
