XAG/USD Exchange rate

EUR/USD looks to consolidate its daily gains, navigating around the 1.1200 region on Tuesday. The pair’s marginal advance comes on the back of the equally humble gains in the US Dollar, as investors remain cautious ahead of the US Midterm elections, with results expected to start emerging early on Wednesday in Europe.

GBP/USD adds to its ongoing multi-day positive streak, managing to reclaim the area beyond 1.3400 the figure on turnaround Tuesday. Indeed, Cable’s continuation of the uptrend follows the Greenback’s inconclusive price action as the US Midterm elections are under way, while bets for a rate hike by the BoE on Thursday also underpins the upbeat tone.

AUD/USD clinches its second consecutive daily pullback as market participants continue to assess the RBA’s rate hike earlier in the day. Indeed, the pair slipped back toward the 0.6960 zone, or multi-day troughs, following the less-hawkish-than-expected message from the RBA after it hiked the OCR by 25 bps, as widely anticipated.

Bitcoin trades downward at $76,566 on Tuesday, testing six-week lows. Ethereum, like Bitcoin, trades under pressure as it consolidates within a narrow support range. Meanwhile, Ripple hovers marginally above $1.25.

The US Dollar Index is picking up from session lows but remains within previous ranges, below 102.00. The Greenback is drawing support from hostilities in Iran and higher Oil prices, but US political uncertainty is capping gains.
