GBP/USD

The bull run may have lost its way in recent days, but the bulls are still willing to sit in their positions. Yesterday’s candle was a strong reaction to the threat of initial profit taking. A rebound back above $1.2900 shows a degree of fight and a market in consolidation rather than near term correction. Political moves around the next step in the Brexit saga will be a key driver of the next move on Cable, but for now the technicals are developing a consolidation. Yesterday’s low at $1.2840 is initial support whilst the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the bull rally sits at $1.2820 and is an initial gauge for how a correction could develop. Resistance around $1.3000/$1.3010 is key.

Is Gold about to enter its biggest bull run since 2020?

Gold has stormed back into the spotlight and its next move could leave late buyers chasing. On August 5, the yellow metal surged almost 7% – roughly $174 – to close near $4,308 an ounce, posting one of its biggest daily advances in recent history. A weaker U.S dollar, falling Treasury yields, changing Federal Reserve expectations and renewed safe-haven demand all struck at once.

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
