Markets Overview

Markets are beginning the week in a consolidation phase as traders look ahead to the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision this Thursday, which is expected to be a major market catalyst.

Market Analysis

GOLD

Gold prices remain consolidated after ending last week with little movement. We anticipate this sideways pace will continue until Thursday's rate announcement. There is potential for Gold to rise significantly if a rate cut is confirmed, as it would likely signal the start of a broader easing cycle.

SILVER

Silver prices are showing mild but increasing bullish movement. The MACD and the RSI both indicate growing buying momentum and volume. We will look for more buying opportunities in the coming days but will wait to see how the price action progresses.

DXY

The Dollar is still consolidated and testing the EMA200. Both the MACD and the RSI are showing increasing bearish pressure. The market is positioned for the nearing U.S. rate decision on Thursday.

According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the market is pricing in a 100% chance of an easing this September, with a 96.4% probability of a 25-basis-point cut. This would likely be positive for most asset classes, at the expense of the U.S. Dollar. If the Dollar does not weaken before the announcement, a sharp drop could occur at the time of the release.

GBPUSD

The Pound is in a consolidation phase as it awaits further direction from the U.S. Dollar. The MACD and RSI are both muted, reflecting the current lack of momentum. We anticipate more buying to emerge in the coming days.

AUDUSD

The Aussie dollar is finding buying pressure but has stagnated since last week's trade. There are signs of bullish divergence, as the MACD has pulled back while the price has remained firm. The RSI also signals growing buying momentum. We will continue to look for more buying opportunities, especially with the U.S. rate cuts on the horizon.

NZDUSD

The Kiwi is showing increased bullish movement while consolidating on the key 0.59400 support level. The MACD and RSI both reflect this buying interest, leading us to look for more buying opportunities.

EURUSD

The Euro is still in a consolidation phase. We will wait to see how it progresses in the coming days and will await a clear break of the market structure before confirming a direction.

USDJPY

The Yen is still very consolidated, although the price is leaning more towards a bearish movement for the pair. We anticipate more selling in the coming days but will hold off on any action until a clear directional move occurs.

USDCHF

The pair is showing increased bearish movement and is currently trading on the EMA200. Both the MACD and the RSI indicate growing bearish volume and momentum. We expect to see more selling in the days to come, especially given the domestic situation in the U.S.

USDCAD

The USD/CAD pair maintains its bullish structure but is not yet confirming a full buy trend. The MACD volume is muted, and the RSI is showing increased bearish momentum. Despite our broad bearish bias on the U.S. Dollar, we will wait to see how the CAD will react to the EMA200 before making a call.
