Forex trading the TACO rollercoaster, volatility on S&P500 and NASDAQ, Gold [Video]

In today’s Market Outlook, let’s take a look at Forex Trading on USDCAD, EURUSD, Silver, XAGUSD, Gold, XAUUSD, and the S&P500.

Yes, we have had another TACO trade opportunity, and it’s not over.

All the US indices look the same, so let’s take a look at the S&P500, and the price action also applies to the NASDAQ and the DJIA.

The big fall was due to the tariff threats against China by the White House.

Trump pulled back, and investors piled back in.

The war of words started again with more threats, and the markets fell.

Here, we have opportunities, but watch the news before the technicals.

Gold reached $4177 as investors went looking for a safe haven, and has pulled back a bit.

14 years ago, silver reached $50 but today, price hit $53.50.

Due to the stock sell-offs, USD is getting stronger, and we need to keep an eye on all USD pairs.

TBH, we need to hear more about the US government shutdown and US-China relations.

And, on a personal note, I remember giving this very same advice 7 years ago.

That’s all for now.

CFDs and FX are leveraged products, and your capital may be at risk.

Editor's Picks

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pare gains despite increasing hopes of upcoming Fed rate cut

Bitcoin is steadying above $91,000 at the time of writing on Friday. Ethereum remains above $3,100, reflecting positive sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting on December 10.

Week ahead – Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low.

Ripple faces persistent bear risks, shrugging off ETF inflows

Ripple is extending its decline for the second consecutive day, trading at $2.06 at the time of writing on Friday. Sentiment surrounding the cross-border remittance token continues to lag despite steady inflows into XRP spot ETFs.
