It is no secret that the US and China have resumed their hostile trade rhetoric over the past week following China’s decision to restrict rare earth metal’s. As a reminder, the US then threatened an 100% tariff which may go into place on the 1st of November. However, since that “threat” the US’s tone on China has softened, with the latest comments from Treasury Secretary Bessent implying that the US may seek an extension of a pause of import duties on Chinese goods for longer than three months and that such a possibility exists. On a geopolitical level, we would like to note the recent report that President Trump has authorized CIA action in Venezuela, which in our view is not that surprising that the CIA is operating in Venezuela but rather the actual admission by the US President. Continuing, our opinion is that the US may be attempting to exert further pressure on the nation. In conclusion any escalation of tensions or even a military conflict between the two nations could possibly aid gold’s price. From a monetary policy perspective for the US the EU and Canada, the flurry of policymakers who are set to speak today could influence their respective pairs. In our view, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Fed policymakers adopting a more dovish tone i.e implying further rate cuts, whilst from the EU a more restrictive approach and a possible touting that they have reached a “good place” in terms of monetary policy.
On a technical level, looking at XAU/USD the precious metal’s price appears to be moving in an upwards fashion. We would opt for our predominantly bullish outlook and supporting our case is our upwards moving trendline as indicated on the chart, in addition to our ADX, RSI and MACD indicators located at the bottom of the chart. For our bullish outlook to be maintained, we would require gold’s price to remain above our upwards moving trendline if not also clearing and remaining above our 4220 (R1) resistance level with the next possible target for the bulls being the hypothetical 4340 (R2) resistance line. On the other hand for a bearish outlook we would require a clear break below our 4100 (S1) support line with the next possible target for the bears being our 3980 (S2) support level. Lastly, for a sideways bias we would require gold’s price to remain confined between our 4100 (S1) support level and our 4220 (R1) resistance line.
EUR/USD appears to be moving in a predominantly downwards fashion. We opt for a bearish outlook for the pair and supporting our case is the downwards moving trendline which was incepted on the 17th of September, in addition to our MACD and ADX indicators below our chart. However, we should note the pair is currently testing our R1 level and the aforementioned downwards moving trendline. Nonetheless, for our bearish outlook to continue we would require a clear break below our 1.1480 (S1) support level with the next possible target for the bears being our 1.1330 (S2) support line. On the other hand, for a sideways bias we would require the pair to remain confined between our 1.1480 (S1) support level and our 1.1650 (R1) resistance line. Lastly, for a bullish outlook we would require a clear break above our 1.1650 (R1) resistance line with the next possible target for the bulls being our 1.1800 (R2) resistance level.
