How to trade the world economic forum, NASDAQ and S&P 500 recovering? [Video]

Two of the biggest market movers, for every instrument we trade, will be coming up tomorrow.

Let’s take a look!

In today’s Market Outlook, let’s take a look at Forex trading on the WTI and Brent Crude Oil, the NASDAQ, Gold, XAUUSD, Silver, XAGUSD, and AUDUSD.

We were looking at AUDUSD last time, and I warned you to watch for a new trend line after the latest Australian CPI figures.

We are still buying the dip and relying on our indicators to find entry and exit points.

This USD strength is indicative of all USD pairs right now, so check your charts.

If we move out to the AUDUSD daily chart, we see that we are at a key level of resistance, so be careful here.

Also, the markets are waiting for 2 major economic events tomorrow.

If you are new to trading or you may be a bit shy of fundamental analysis, you may be wondering, “What is Davos? What is Jackson Hole?”

Well, these are huge events and market movers, and everyone is paying attention.

The World Economic Forum in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, starts today, and most global financial leaders will be making speeches, doing interviews, and issuing statements.

These will almost always drive currency markets, gold, silver, and indices like the S&P500.

The main event will be tomorrow's speech by Kevin Warsh, the new Fed chair.

To trade these big moves, check out our recent video about the News Catalyst Fade, where we can trade WITH the trend, AFTER the news breaks.

Also, you may have never seen this on an economic calendar: the Prelim Benchmark Payrolls Revision happens once a year as the US Bureau of Labour Statistics revises its figures.

Last year, the revision was a whopping 900,000 jobs so expect volatility.

This USD strength is showing up in gold as we see a reversal to the downside but, again, watch out for the news events.

In silver, we see a similar situation but not as aggressive.

We also see a recovery in the NASDAQ and S&P 500, but watch the news.

Crude has fallen based on better news out of Iran, but, as we know, that could change at any moment.

That’s all for now.

CFDs and FX are leveraged products, and your capital may be at risk.

GBP/USD stays weak below 1.3600 as USD bulls await Warsh's speech

GBP/USD is consolidating near the lower end of its weekly range, below the 1.3600 mark, during European trading hours on Thursday. The pair's downside, however, remains cushioned as traders await Fed Chair Warsh's speech on Friday for more cues about the US central bank's interest rate path before placing fresh directional bets.

EUR/USD holds range around 1.1650 as USD steadies

EUR/USD keeps its range around 1.1650 in the European session on Thursday. Hawkish ECB expectations support the pair as the US Dollar consolidates after the US PCE data-driven advance. The focus remains on Middle East developments and US Jobless Claims data.

Gold holds steady around $4,600 as traders eye Fed's Warsh for rate cues

Gold languishes near the $4,600 mark through the first half of the European session on Thursday and remains close to the weekly low it touched the previous day. The downside, however, seems limited as traders opt to wait for US Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium on Friday for cues on the future policy path. The outlook, in turn, will play a key role in influencing the US Dollar price dynamics and provide some meaningful impetus to the non-yielding bullion.

Ripple eases to $1.40, Solana hits $100, DOGE capped below $0.10

Ripple (XRP) and Dogecoin (DOGE) are facing downside pressure after double-digit gains last week, while Solana (SOL) extends its rally to $100. The technical outlook for XRP, SOL, and DOGE points to potential upside as the broader market sustains a risk-on sentiment.

Jackson Hole kicks off after upside PCE surprise

In China, industrial profits rose 17.6% y/y to CNY 4.58tn in the first seven months of 2026, slowing from an 18.7% increase in January-June. The moderation follows several months of strong profit growth around 20% y/y, supported by higher producer prices and solid manufacturing activity.

Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole dilemma: Say too much, too little, or just enough

Kevin Warsh is preparing to deliver his first Jackson Hole speech as Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair on Friday, and expectations extend well beyond whether interest rates will be raised or left unchanged in September.
