EUR/USD: The euro declined on Friday as stronger dollar and weaker Euro zone manufacturing data weighed on euro. A survey showed that euro-zone manufacturing output fell last month for the first time since the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic two years ago, as higher prices and an increasingly gloomy economic outlook discouraged consumers from making purchases. S&P Global's final manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to 52.1 in June from 54.6 in May, the lowest since August 2020 but just ahead of a provisional reading of 52. The euro slipped by as much as 0.5% to $1.04330. It was last down 0.4% at $1.04465. Immediate resistance can be seen at 1.0492(5DMA),an upside break can trigger rise towards 1.0522(38.2%fib).On the downside, immediate support is seen at 1.0391(23.6%fib), a break below could take the pair towards 1.0345(Lower BB).
GBP/USD: Sterling dipped against the dollar on Friday as renewed fears of a global recession hit the risk-sensitive British currency. More risk-sensitive currencies fell across the board. The Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar both fell by more than 1% on the day, with the Aussie tumbling as much as 1.6% to $0.67900, its lowest since June 2020. After its biggest six-month decline since 2008 against the U.S. dollar, risk sensitive sterling fell 0.5% against the greenback to $1.2114. Meanwhile, amid growing fears that higher borrowing costs will further hurt the UK economy, traders have lowered some of their expectations for a Bank of England rate hike for the year. Immediate resistance can be seen at 1.2166 (5DMA),an upside break can trigger rise towards 1.2252(38.2%fib).On the downside, immediate support is seen at 1.2026(23.6%fib), a break below could take the pair towards 1.1881(Lower BB).
USD/CHF: The dollar strengthened against the Swiss franc on Friday as dollar benefited from safe-haven demand on renewed worries about higher rates and a global recession. Disappointing economic data from across the world cemented fears of a global recession. Soaring inflation and hawkish comments from major central bank chiefs this week have steered investors out of risky markets into safe-haven assets such as the dollar. At 12:07 GMT, the dollar was trading 0.72 percent higher versus the Swiss franc at 0.9615. Immediate resistance can be seen at 0.9617(38.1% fib), an upside break can trigger rise towards 0.9708(20 June 2022 high).On the downside, immediate support is seen at 0.9566 (5DMA), a break below could take the pair towards 0.9498(50% fib).
USD/JPY: The dollar declined against the Japanese yen on Friday as worries about the risk of a global recession drove rallies in the safe haven Japanese yen. Runaway inflation and central banks' rush to raise interest rates and stem the flow of cheap money have fueled the market sell-off and lifted assets seen as safer bets. The Japanese yen gained as much as 0.75% on the day, pulling away from a mid-week low of 137.00 its weakest in 24 years. It was last up 0.4% at 135.235 yen per dollar. Strong resistance can be seen at 135.78 (5DMA), an upside break can trigger rise towards 137.26(23.6%fib).On the downside, immediate support is seen at 135.05(5DMA), a break below could take the pair towards 133.05 (38.2%fib).
