Gold reaction at $1835

Following the release of the NFP report, gold prices surged to our defined level of $1835. The move following the NFP report was entirely predictable. Prices are expected to rise as long as they trade above $1765. In the trading comments section, we flatly stated that $1800-$1805 is the support level, with a target of $1835. Following the bottom in $1680, $1835 is regarded as the initial resistance. This article will address the gold reaction at $1835.

Based on the information discussed in the previous update, we clearly stated that gold prices are expected to rise in the section of personal opinion. According to the short term cycles of August 7th, gold prices were likely to bottom on August 7th. Prices produced a bottom on the expected date, and shot higher. The next short-term cycle is not due until the next few days. The main question now is whether gold will break through the $1835 level and rise to the $1900 level. Or maybe another correction is on the way before September becomes the seasonal month.

On the other hand, we anticipated a strong bounce from the $23.01 level. Because there were three attempts on this level, it became the benchmark. The formation of an inverted head and shoulder indicated that the silver had reached new heights. That was the motivation for purchasing silver at $24.01. The price broke through the neckline and rocketed to the first resistance level of $24.60-70, from which a pullback is now underway. In today’s report, we’ll look at the next steps for both metals.

The US dollar index has produced a resistance and is now falling as expected. Our scenario for the US dollar has not changed, and it is likely to fall sharply once the sideways range expires. When the US dollar begins to fall, gold and silver will take advantage and break higher. The gold market remains sideways until the $1700-$1900 region is clearly broken. And it is very likely that this range will be broken very soon.

AUD/USD trades in tight channel near 0.7050 despite hawkish RBA message

AUD/USD trades modestly lower on the day at around 0.7050 on Tuesday as markets adopt a cautious stance amid a lack of details surrounding the US-Iran peace agreement.

Gold trims gains, approaches $4,300

Gold now surrenders part of its initial advance and recedes to the vicinity of the $4,350 mark per troy ounce on Tuesday. The early enthusiasm sparked by the US-Iran peace deal has faded somewhat, prompting investors to adopt a more prudent stance as they await further details of the agreement and key guidance from the Fed.

Why a hawkish RBA is no longer enough to lift the Australian Dollar

BoJ just hiked and US-Iran deal is on the table: Why Japanese Yen is still around 160.00

The Bank of Japan lifted interest rates from 0.75% to 1.00%, its highest level in more than three decades. The landmark move aims to stabilize a sharply weakening Japanese Yen, but by looking at the immediate market reaction, it doesn’t look like it’s going to work.

Why a hawkish RBA is no longer enough to lift the Australian Dollar

The Reserve Bank of Australia delivered more than what markets expected: a hawkish hold that should have supported the Aussie. But markets widely ignored it, focusing instead on slowing economic growth and proving that central bank messaging alone isn’t always enough to drive currencies.
