Introduction:
Hello, this is Mohammed Qais Abdulghani, a financial markets expert, with your daily technical analysis for the major currency pairs, commodities, and indices for Thursday, September 5, 2024.
Before we begin our technical and economic analysis, let’s highlight the key economic data that will be released today and could impact price movements:
• 3:30 PM Mecca Time: Unemployment Claims Report. • 4:45 PM: Services Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI). • 5:00 PM: Non-Manufacturing PMI from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). • 6:00 PM: U.S. Crude Oil Inventories Report.
U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) Analysis:
We observe that the U.S. Dollar Index continues to trade under pressure and below the 50-day moving average on the daily frame. It is also trading below the main downward trend line and the secondary downward trend line. As long as prices remain below the 102 level, the bearish bias is favored, potentially targeting the 100.300 and 99 levels. The recent data showed significant negativity, which may prompt the Federal Reserve to abandon its monetary tightening policy, possibly leading to a further decline in the U.S. dollar.
EUR/USD Pair Analysis:
The EUR/USD pair continues to trade within a positive scenario, with prices holding above the 1.1000 level, supporting the bullish outlook targeting 1.1210 and 1.1315 in the medium term. This positive scenario would be invalidated only by a break below the 1.1000 level.
GBP/USD Pair Analysis:
The GBP/USD pair maintains its positive stance with prices staying above the 1.3100 level, potentially driving gains toward 1.3250 and 1.3360. This upward scenario would be invalidated by a break below the 1.3100 level.

NZD/USD Pair Analysis:
The NZD/USD pair is looking to end its corrections and resume its upward trend, which will only be confirmed by breaking the 55-day moving average and surpassing the 0.6225 level. This could drive the prices upwards towards 0.6450 and 0.6550 in the medium term.
