EUR/USD

AUD/USD
AUD/USD pays little heed to the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) latest Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes while holding lower grounds near 0.6700 during early Tuesday. In doing so, the Aussie pair portrays the market’s cautious mood ahead of the other key catalysts, namely a meeting between Australian and Chinese diplomats, as well as a monetary policy meeting of the People’s Bank of China (PBOC).
NZD/USD
NZD/USD has been chipping away at the downside in Asia, sliding to a fresh session low at the time of writing, down 0.35% on the day so far after dropping from a high of 0.6365. The US Dollar has been struggling to break higher which had been giving the commodity complex some room to breathe but the tables are turning.

USD/CHF
The USDCHF has advanced gradually to a near 10-day high of around 0.9570 in the Asian session. The asset is struggling to extend gains ahead as investors are shifting their focus toward the release of the US Durable Goods Orders data, which is due on Wednesday.
CRUDE OIL
Oil prices extended gains into a second consecutive session on Tuesday as markets bet that a Chinese reopening, U.S. buying, and a potentially colder-than-expected winter will spur a demand recovery going into 2023, despite increased fears of a global recession.
GOLD
Gold price once again found fresh buyers near the $1,785 level and staged a solid bunce in early Tuesday. The sudden upswing in the Gold price could be attributed to a significant market reaction to a surprise hawkish BoJ policy shift.
