XAU/USD

Gold made a high for the day exactly at strong resistance at 4355/4365, for the second day.

Shorts worked as we reversed to my targets of 4335/4330 then a low for the day only 3$3 above minor support at 4310/4300.

Same levels apply for today.

Watch strong resistance again at 4355/4365. Perhaps we will range from here down to 4300/4290 while we wait for the next move.

However shorts at strong resistance at 4355/4365 need stops above 4575.

A break higher is a buy signal for today & can target 4410/4420.

If we reverse again from strong resistance at 4355/4365 we can retarget 4335/4330 then minor support at 4310/4300.

Just be aware that a break below 4285 risks a slide to 4273/4270.

If we continue lower, look for a buying opportunity at 4245/4240 & longs need stops below 4230.

XAG/USD

Silver traded between $69 and $71 in a quiet session.

A break above this week's high at 7130 meets strong resistance at 7200/7220. Shorts need stops above 7280.

Targets on the downside are 7080/7050 with strong support at 6905/6870.

We made a low for the day exactly here yesterday & longs worked perfectly on the bounce to 7100 as predicted.

We should meet strong support again at 6905/6870.

Longs need stops below 6840.

A break lower risks a slide to 6770/6740.

Longs at strong support at 6905/6870 can target 6980/7000, perhaps as far as yesterday's high at 7110/7130.

GBP/USD bounces off lows, back above 1.3200

After bottoming out near 1.3160, GBP/USD manages to regain a bit of shine and reclaim the 1.3200 mark and beyond at the end of the week.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
