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 pulls back from monthly high but holds above 0.7000

AUD/USD retreats from the monthly high set earlier this Thursday, sliding back to 0.7000 during the Asian session as a further escalation of tensions in the Middle East undermines the risk-sensitive Aussie. However, recent hawkish comments from RBA officials could support the Australian Dollar. Furthermore, the prevailing US Dollar selling bias, despite Fed hike bets and geopolitical uncertainties, could limit losses for the pair.

USD/JPY declines to a one-week low; eyes trading range support near 157.50 on weaker USD

USD/JPY drops to a one-week low during Thursday’s Asian session, with bears now awaiting a break below multi-week range support near mid-157.00s before placing fresh bets amid a broadly weaker US Dollar. Despite bets for a December Fed rate hike and Middle East jitters, the recent decline in US bond yields keeps USD depressed near a three-week low. Moreover, hawkish BoJ expectations and intervention risks underpin the Japanese Yen, further weighing on the currency pair.

Gold remains offered just above $4,000

Gold prices resume their decline on Thursday, easing toward the area of two-month lows around $4,050 per troy ounce. Higher crude oil prices have reignited speculation of further tightening by the Fed, supporting the US Dollar and weighing on the precious metal.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
