Forex trading short EUR/NZD – Gold at record highs, again [Video]

Brad Alexander FX Large Limited

Over the weekend, Trump announced new tariffs on steel and aluminium and the markets fell.

But, buyers took advantage of the bargains!

We have seen this before where a big news event moves the markets.

When the same thing happens again, it’s not as severe, but get used to volatility of the next few years.

We have been talking about gold going to $3000 and we are not there yet but getting closer.

Gold is a safe haven asset and the uncertainty around the craziness in Washington has driven investors here.

From the technical standpoint, all indicators are bullish and you will see the same in every time frame.

Basically, the fundamentals outweigh the technicals these days.

Speaking of precious metals, we see a range trading opportunity on silver and we are currently mid-range.

EUR is one of our weakest currencies right now so we will look for opportunities.

NZD is quite strong these days so a short on EURNZD would be logical.

We see a pullback from the bear run and the stochastic oscillator is overbought and turning over.

If we look at the daily chart, we see we still have room to move to the downside.

If you are keen to try some news trading this week, we have economic events from the US, the UK, Switzerland, and New Zealand.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight
