Markets reacted sharply after softer-than-expected US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data reinforced expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut in September. The US Dollar weakened against most majors except the Canadian Dollar, gold extended its rally toward key resistance, and silver tested a major breakout zone. Commodity-linked currencies were mixed, with the New Zealand Dollar under pressure from China’s persistent deflation concerns, while the Australian Dollar held steady after recent losses.

• US Dollar Index (DXY) eases to 103.00 as softer CPI data boosts September rate-cut odds to above 90%, capping Dollar upside.

• Gold (XAU/USD) holds near $3,350–$3,355, consolidating gains on dovish Fed expectations despite reduced safe-haven demand.

• Silver (XAG/USD) trades around $38.15–$38.25, testing key trend-line resistance; a break above could open the path toward $39.00.

• USD/CAD climbs to 1.3780 as weaker oil prices and dovish BoC expectations weigh on the Canadian Dollar.

• NZD/USD slips to 0.5950 amid cautious sentiment and lingering concerns over China’s deflationary pressures.

• AUD/USD steady at 0.6500 as RBA rate cut speculation offsets modest risk-on flows.
