Market Analysis
GOLD
Gold prices continue their bullish momentum, as expected, with a notable rise reaching $3,000/oz. The price saw increased volume yesterday, continuing upward after consolidating for some time. The MACD reflects this increased buying volume, while the RSI is nearing overbought levels, indicating that a potential retracement could occur before the upward trend continues.
Geopolitical tensions continue to influence gold, with President Donald Trump warning Iran about attacks from Yemen’s Houthi rebels, which have targeted foreign vessels. Additionally, Trump has expressed willingness to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin about ending the war in Ukraine. These geopolitical uncertainties, combined with inflation concerns, continue to drive investors towards safe-haven assets like gold.
We expect gold to continue its bullish trend after any short-term consolidation or retracement. Both the MACD and RSI support this view, with momentum building for further price appreciation.
SILVER
Silver prices are also showing a strong bullish trend, following gold’s rise. The MACD is trending upward, signaling continued momentum, though the RSI suggests that silver may continue consolidating for now. Given the strength in gold, we anticipate silver will eventually catch up with gold and see further price increases. However, we remain cautious as consolidation or retracement could still occur in the short term.
DXY (US Dollar Index)
The dollar is in a consolidation phase, showing mixed signals. The MACD is preparing to cross upward, but the RSI is in overbought territory, indicating a possible bearish reversal. Despite gold’s surge, the dollar’s weakness isn’t solely responsible for the increase; investors are seeking alternative hedges against the dollar’s risk.
With markets awaiting Chairman Powell’s remarks on the U.S. Federal Reserve’s stance on rate cuts, there remains a great deal of uncertainty. We expect further declines in the dollar, but a clearer direction will come from Powell’s comments on potential monetary policy actions.
GBPUSD
The British pound has risen but faces resistance at 1.29966. Despite some consolidation, the overall bullish structure remains intact. The RSI is showing oversold conditions, and we expect further buying opportunities in the coming days. A brief sell-off may test the previous upper boundary, but we anticipate the pound will continue its upward movement as concerns over U.S. economic growth weigh on the dollar.
AUDUSD
The Australian dollar saw significant gains yesterday, in line with expectations following hawkish signals from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). The MACD is steadily rising, and the RSI is showing oversold levels, suggesting the potential for continued bullish momentum. However, given the uncertainty in global markets and trade tensions, we remain cautious and expect continued growth but with occasional pullbacks.
NZDUSD
The New Zealand dollar is showing stronger bullish movement compared to the Australian dollar, likely driven by increased trade with China. The MACD confirms this, with growing momentum and volume in buying activity. The RSI is oversold, suggesting that NZDUSD could continue its upward movement above 0.58166 in the coming days.
EURUSD
The euro has gained bullish momentum but remains just shy of its previous highs. The MACD indicates steady, albeit low, volume growth, while the RSI is showing stronger bullish momentum after previously being oversold. We expect further buying opportunities, but we remain cautious, as the market may continue consolidating. A clearer breakout could trigger more substantial price movements.
USDJPY
The Japanese yen is showing weakness, which we previously anticipated. The price tested the EMA200 but quickly retracted, indicating a continuation of bearish sentiment. The MACD is beginning to cross upward, signaling potential for further downside movement. Despite oversold conditions on the RSI, the market sentiment suggests that further selling is likely unless a major change in policy occurs.
USDCHF
The Swiss franc is seeing increased selling momentum, failing to break above the EMA200 as anticipated. The MACD is falling, and the RSI indicates overbought conditions, reinforcing the bearish outlook. We continue to expect further selling opportunities as price action remains aligned with the downward trend.
USDCAD
The Canadian dollar continues to trade within a consolidation range, as expected. We will refrain from making any calls on the CAD until a clearer breakout occurs. The RSI is reflecting increased bearish momentum, while the MACD shows growing bearish volume. We anticipate continued selling in the coming days, but clarity will emerge once a definitive break occurs.
