Financial Stories of the Day

Market Analysis

GOLD

Gold prices have tested the EMA200 and are showing increased signs of continued consolidation. Despite the RSI approaching oversold levels, price action suggests a potential bearish continuation. The MACD is currently ranging, offering no strong directional signal. We will refrain from calling for a continuation of the downtrend until a decisive break in key support levels is observed.

SILVER

Silver remains in tight consolidation. No directional bias is apparent, and we continue to stay on the sidelines until further confirmation.

DXY

The Fed remains cautious, waiting to assess the outcome of ongoing trade negotiations before considering rate cuts. Currently, the Dollar is ranging sideways, despite some momentum pointing toward bearishness. Both the RSI and MACD suggest building bearish pressure, though overall price structure remains bullish.

Adding to market uncertainty, President Trump has issued a warning, stating that countries refusing to negotiate in good faith will face the tariffs proposed last month. While this revives tariff concerns, it also signals that the U.S. is open to negotiation, aligning with our earlier expectations. This geopolitical backdrop is likely to create short-term volatility in the Dollar.

GBPUSD

The Pound has gained significantly against the Dollar, with both the MACD and RSI confirming strong buying volume and momentum. While further upside is expected, we are currently at the upper boundary of a key range. A clear break above the previous high is required to confirm a bullish continuation; otherwise, we may see a pullback from current levels.

AUDUSD

AUD/USD remains in consolidation, and we are not yet calling a shift in structure. However, both the MACD and RSI point to increasing bullish potential, and price action is respecting bullish formations. Notably, a rate cut announcement is due on Tuesday, which could become a key driver for directional movement. We advise caution until then.

NZDUSD

The Kiwi is showing increased potential for bullish continuation, supported by rising momentum in both the MACD and RSI. Recent price shifts also suggest a possible trend reversal to the upside. However, given that the pair remains technically range-bound, we await a clear breakout before confirming direction.

EURUSD

The Euro has broken above the EMA200, but this alone is insufficient to turn our bias bullish. A clear upper boundary remains intact, capping upward movement. We expect a potential rejection at this level, possibly leading to a sell-off. The MACD and RSI both indicate increasing selling momentum, but with a smaller consolidation range still in play, we remain cautious and await confirmation through a decisive breakout.

USDJPY

Despite Dollar weakness, the Yen is trading sideways, reflecting broad-based weakness in Asian markets. The price remains above key support, and we maintain a bullish outlook unless price breaks below structural lows. However, both the MACD and RSI are muted, showing little reaction to price movement. We continue to watch for a breakout from the current squeeze.

USDCHF

The Franc is firmly in consolidation, with price trapped between defined boundaries. Both the MACD and RSI reflect this indecision. We will hold off on any directional calls until a clear breakout is observed.

USDCAD

CAD remains in consolidation as well. With no clear directional momentum, we will stay neutral and await a decisive move in price before committing to a view.
