XAU/USD

Gold headed higher as predicted after Monday's buy signal as we approach my 3rd target of 2643 this morning.

Yesterday I wrote in my update at 15:15 UK time:
Gold has some support at 2625/22 so it may bounce from here.
This proved to be the exact low of the small correction & if you bought here you are already looking at a $20 profit.

There is key resistance at 2644/2648. If you have been long from our buy signal on the break above 2603 it's time to take the profit & wait to see the reaction at the resistance.

I never trade against the trend but if you want to short here, stop above 2650.

A break above 2650 is a buy signal targeting 2661/64.

Support again at 2625/22 & longs need stops below 2618.

XAG/USD

Silver break above 3090 was a buy signal for this week but we have stalled just below the next target of 3160/65.

It looks like we could reach 3190 on a break above 3170.

As I wrote in my update yesterday at 15:15 UK time:
Silver support at 3090/3080 & longs need stops below 3060.

EUR/USD faces next resistance near 1.1930

EUR/USD continues to build on its recovery in the latter part of Wednesday’s session, with upside momentum accelerating as the pair retargets the key 1.1900 barrier amid a further loss of traction in the US Dollar. Attention now shifts squarely to the US data docket, with labour market figures and the always influential CPI releases due on Thursday and Friday, respectively.

GBP/USD sticks to the bullish tone near 1.3660

GBP/USD maintains its solid performance on Wednesday, hovering around the 1.3660 zone as the Greenback surrenders its post-NFP bounce. Cable, in the meantime, should now shift its attention to key UK data due on Thursday, including preliminary GDP gauges.

Gold holds on to higher ground ahead of the next catalyst

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place on Wednesday, retargeting the $5,100 zone per troy ounce on the back of modest losses in the US Dollar and despite firm US Treasury yields across the curve. Moving forward, the yellow metal’s next test will come from the release of US CPI figures on Friday.
