Dollar in consolidation during US-China trade talks [Video]

Markets are a bit slow after some holidays in parts of Europe yesterday, but more importantly, investors are still trading from a distance as US-China trade talks continue in London. Trump has confirmed that the talks are going well, and in fact, he also has a speech scheduled today at the US close, around 10:00 p.m., so it will be interesting to hear what he has to say about trade talks and how market will repsond, especially ahead of the US CPI report coming out tomorrow. That could make for tricky trading conditions until these events are out of the way.

So basically, I wouldn’t be surprised if the dollar index stays in some kind of triangle formation for now, or maybe even develops a one-two, one-two bearish scenario for wave five. But overall, it's still consolidation with a bearish tone, although we may need to wait a session or two before the market really starts breaking key levels. Important resistance remains at the May 28th swing high, and if we get any early strength in the dollar, I’d assume that rally would be faded.

EUR/USD: Gains remain capped below 1.1800

EUR/USD consolidates its upside below 1.1800 in the European trading hours on Monday. The pair trades listlessly amid a tepid market mood, despite a broadly subdued US Dollar. Mid-tier US Pending Home Sales are next in focus. 

GBP/USD hovers around 1.3500 amid cautious markets

GBP/USD is oscillating around 1.3500 in the European session on Monday, supported by broad US Dollar softness. But the upside appears limited due to thin market conditions heading into the New Year holiday break. 

Gold corrects from record high as profit-taking sets in

Gold price retreats from a record high near $4,550 in European trading on Monday as traders book some profits ahead of holidays. If the US Dollar finds renewed demand, it could also weigh on the precious metal, as it makes Gold more expensive for non-US buyers.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP bulls regain strength

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple record roughly 3% gains on Monday, regaining strength mid-holiday season. Despite thin liquidity in the holiday season, BTC and major altcoins are regaining strength as US President Donald Trump pushes peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. The technical outlook for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple gradually shifts bullish as selling pressure wanes.
