As a result, the EUR/USD pair advances into the upper 1.1400s, testing the upper boundary of its monthly trading range near 1.1485.

Gold attracts fresh buying during Friday’s Asian session, recovering part of the previous day’s decline toward the monthly low. However, the broader fundamental backdrop remains bearish, limiting the potential for a sustained recovery. Meanwhile, the US-Iran conflict has entered a more dangerous phase, with both sides intensifying attacks and Tehran expanding its campaign beyond conventional military targets.
