يفتتح شهر أغسطس على دولار أقوى مع تراجع تدفقات نهاية الشهر

The dollar opened August on the front foot as month-end rebalancing flows that had weighed on the greenback in late July reversed. EUR/USD slipped from 1.0810 to test 1.0770 as European accounts trimmed euro longs into the new month. The DXY firmed to 104.90, recovering the 105 pivot zone it had ceded during the July slide. US yields ticked higher, the 10-year nudging to 4.34% as traders positioned cautiously ahead of the week's payrolls. Gold eased from its recent highs to 2,388, pressured by the firmer dollar and a modest back-up in real yields, though dip-buyers kept it above 2,380. USD/JPY pushed to 152.45, testing the upper end of its recent range and the market's tolerance for official pushback. Sterling was heavy at 1.2740 as the dollar broadly advanced. The tone was one of consolidation rather than conviction — a technical, flow-driven session that reset positioning after July's dollar weakness and set a cleaner base for the data-heavy days ahead.
