Gold is coming to the apex of a triangular pattern

SILVER

April Review Only – “Silver had a March meltdown, reaching the lowest low, since January 2009. Following a good rebound, the market is now trading sideways. Key Dates – 4/2, 4/8, 4/23, 4/30”

Results – 4/2 was very close in price and one day past the low of the month. 4/8 was a good pullback low. 4/23 was a good high. 4/30 was a very good high. Score – 4 out of 4 good dates = 100%.

GOLD

April Review – “During March, Gold made its high of the month near the 3/9 Full Moon at Perigee, then plunged more than $200, into a mid-month low. From that low, Gold rallied to near its mid-month high, for a wild roller coaster ride. Key Dates – 4/8, 4/23”

Results – 4/8 was a good pullback low. 4/23 was a good high. Score – 2 out of 2 good dates = 100%.

May Update – The Gold chart looks like Gold is coming to an inflexion point or apex for a wedge or triangle pattern. Whichever way it breaks out, it should be soon, and should generate a substantial move.

Key Dates – 5/5, 5/7, 5/11, 5/22

AUD/USD weakens to two-week lows near 0.6960

AUD/USD clinches its second consecutive daily pullback as market participants continue to assess the RBA’s rate hike earlier in the day. Indeed, the pair slipped back toward the 0.6960 zone, or multi-day troughs, following the less-hawkish-than-expected message from the RBA after it hiked the OCR by 25 bps, as widely anticipated.

USD/JPY fails near 159.00 amid weak USD, intervention risks

USD/JPY edges lower during Tuesday’s Asian session, reversing part of the previous day's gains to 158.00 as the US Dollar remains depressed amid hopes for Iran diplomacy and ahead of US midterm elections. Meanwhile, intervention risks support the Japanese Yen, though the uncertainty over the timing of the next BoJ rate hike caps gains. This keeps the pair confined within a familiar range and warrants caution before placing directional bets.

The 2% inflation target came from a throwaway remark. It now moves trillions
The Federal Reserve's 2% inflation goal grew out of an off-the-cuff remark by a New Zealand politician in 1988. Bond investors still price long-term US debt as if 2% holds, so a change in how the Fed measures inflation would move markets.
