EURUSD
1.1155/1.1165 resistance
1.1105/1.1095 support
European currencies could gain support as tensions ease over Iran. But the Euro fell after the dollar rose last night after the U.S. reported better-than-expected ADP job data for December. Today, markets are focusing on Germany's November trade and current account and industrial output. There were also concerns about a vote in the British House of Commons on the Brexit deal bill. If the above-mentioned data beat expectations and passes a bill to Brexit, it could bullish the Euro. It is now estimated that Euro tests 1.1105 and 1.1095 support.

Risk aversion cooled and global stock markets rebounded, pushing the USDJPY to break through the 109 barriers. Technically, Dow and Nikkei futures continue to rise, and the dollar will follow suit, USDJPY testing highs. But the mood in the Middle East changes from time to time, and stock markets can adjust from time to time.

1555/1553 support
Gold prices fell as events in the Middle East changed. U.S. jobs data beat market expectations and Dow futures rebounded, sending gold and silver prices lower.
