Gold
Gold prices surged by over 4.00% last week, registering new historical peaks despite positive US unemployment data.
The Gold awaits several important US data releases, including the Consumer and Producer Price Indexes.
With prices stabilizing above $2300, gold’s next target is expected to be around $2350.
Oil
West Texas Intermediate crude prices stabilized around $86 per barrel,
retreating after nearing $88. With prices above critical levels on the daily chart,
an upward trend is expected to continue if prices hold above these levels.
A confirmed break below could lead to a retest of the support levels between $83 and $80,
aligned with the uptrend line since the start of the year.
Dow Jones Industrial Average
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 3% last week before closing with a 2.50% decline.
The markets await several important US data releases this week,
including the Consumer Price Index on Wednesday and the Producer Price Index on Thursday.
With the index rising from the support level of 38600 and the presence of a harmonic pattern,
a continued rise to levels 39225-39295 is expected.
GBPUSD
The pound stabilized around 1.26 USD after forming a base near the 1.2500 support level.
On the daily chart, it remains in a sideways range,
with a potential return to an uptrend to levels 1.2710 and 1.2895 if a higher base forms.
A break below support could likely lead to a continued decline to support levels at 1.2280 and 1.2035.
EURUSD
The euro rose against the US dollar by about 0.5% last week.
The markets await important data starting from the European Central Bank on Thursday with interest rate decisions
and the US Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
With the price stabilizing above the support levels of 1.0795-1.0805, the pair is expected to continue rising to 1.0885-1.0900.
USDJPY
The USDJPY pair hovers around the 152 resistance level and above the 200-day moving average,
in a rectangular continuation pattern on a 4-hour timeframe.
A break above the resistance and holding above it is expected to lead to a continued rise,
targeting levels 153.50 and then 155.00. However, if it declines and breaks below the pivotal level of 148.90, a retest of level 146 is likely.
