Gold and Silver prices also continue to push higher with in particular Silver potentially ready to break the current technical resistance zone. As the risk sentiment currently changes also oil prices start to push to the upside again as well as the Loonie. Currency pairs like the USDCAD and EURCAD keep moving lower and the trend might continue. Tomorrow, traders should focus on the JPY. The BoJ interest rate decision might move the Yen.
