GBP/USD Technical: Corrective decline ended, potential bullish reversal in progress for sterling as NFP looms
GBP/USD has completed its expected -1.9% corrective slide, bottoming at 1.3333 on 3 September, just above the 1.3315/1.3280 key medium-term support. Price action now signals a potential short-term bullish reversal, with bias above 1.3395 for a move toward 1.3545 and 1.3650. Strengthening UK gilt–US Treasury yield spreads further support sterling’s upside, ahead of today’s US non-farm payrolls release.

NFP Preview: US Jobs Report & Implications for the DXY, Gold (XAU/USD) & Dow Jones (DJIA)
Discover what to expect from the US Jobs Report (NFP) and its potential impact on the DXY, Gold (XAU/USD), and Dow Jones (DJIA). The report is crucial for the US job market and the Fed's policy path, with job growth slowing and unemployment rising. A weak report could solidify the case for a Fed rate cut, boosting stocks and gold, while the Fed faces a dilemma between faltering job creation and persistent wage growth.

Markets Already Looking to NFP
Markets are watching August NFP, with a baseline of +74k and unemployment rising to 4.3% from 4.2%. July’s +73k and -258k revisions intensified political pressure on the BLS. Cooling labour demand—Job Switchers wage growth at 4.3% y/y and NFIB reporting easier hiring—supports a 17 Sep Fed cut. Upside surprises or data-quality doubts could curb dovish pricing and keep volatility high.

USD/CHF Technical: Potential Swiss franc bullish range breakout as NFP looms
The USD/CHF remains in a narrowing range ahead of Friday’s US NFP release, with risk building for a bearish breakout. Meanwhile, signs of stabilization in Swiss data, manufacturing PMI at 49.0, and services PMI rebounding from a five-year low, suggest the SNB’s aggressive rate-cut cycle may be ending. With yield spreads between US Treasuries and Swiss bonds narrowing, downside pressure on USD/CHF is likely to persist.

Australian GDP beats estimate, Aussie edges higher
Australia's GDP expanded more than expected in Q2, at 1.6% y/y. This was the fastest pace of growth in almost two years and was driven by an increase in household consumption and government spending. The RBA is expected to hold rates at the September meeting and cut in November.
