📊 Gold declines as Middle East conflict de-escalates Gold prices (XAU) fell towards $3,350 on Tuesday, pressured by easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. 👉 Possible effects for traders The precious metal, typically seen as a safe-haven asset during geopolitical uncertainty, lost some appeal following the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. The resolution significantly reduced immediate risk premiums priced into the market, prompting investors to return to riskier assets. The de-escalation followed late Monday remarks from U.S. President Donald Trump, who confirmed that Iran had agreed to an immediate ceasefire, with Israel expected to follow 12 hours later. The agreement came after Iran launched a symbolic retaliatory strike on a U.S. base in Qatar, which resulted in no casualties. Markets interpreted the limited scope of the response and the swift move toward de-escalation as a sign that both sides were aiming to avoid a broader confrontation. XAUUSD continued falling during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Market participants are now shifting focus to monetary policy developments, particularly the upcoming testimony by Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell before Congress. Powell's testimony on Tuesday and Wednesday is expected to provide further clarity on the Fed's policy stance amid persistent inflation concerns and mixed economic data. Any hints of rate cuts or shifts in policy trajectory could further influence the direction of gold prices. Key levels to watch are support at $3,340 and resistance at $3,400. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

📊 Euro rises on expectations of dovish Fed rhetoric The euro (EUR) gained 0.49% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Monday. EURUSD rose after dovish remarks from Federal Reserve (Fed) Governor Michelle Bowman, who suggested that the central bank may soon need to consider interest rate cuts. 👉 Possible effects for traders Bowman's shift in tone was particularly notable, given her traditionally hawkish stance on monetary policy. She highlighted concerns over a weakening labour market and appeared less concerned about inflationary pressures from trade tariffs, signalling a potential pivot towards policy easing. Her comments sparked a sell-off in the U.S. dollar (USD), as markets interpreted them as a strong indication that rate cuts could happen sooner than expected. Helen Given, Director of Trading at Monex USA, emphasised the impact of Bowman's comments, noting that her hawkish reputation made the dovish shift especially impactful. 'Any indication that she's leaning toward rate cuts is enough to put downward pressure on the dollar', Given said. Broader geopolitical relief also supported the rise of the euro. Investors expect Iran's response to recent U.S. strikes on its nuclear infrastructure to be measured and contained, further diminishing safe-haven demand for the U.S. dollar. Meanwhile, eurozone economic data added another layer of complexity to the global monetary outlook. Flash Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) data indicated a steeper-than-expected contraction in private sector activity. This reinforced expectations that the European Central Bank will implement a 25-basis-point rate cut in September, potentially lowering the deposit rate to around 1.75%. Despite the eurozone's soft data, the dovish shift in the Fed's rhetoric provided enough contrast to keep the U.S. dollar under pressure in Monday's trading session. EURUSD continued rising during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, investors should focus on Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech at 5:00 p.m. UTC. Traders are speculating whether he will adopt an unexpectedly dovish stance or maintain a more neutral, balanced approach. Key levels to watch are resistance at 1.16300 and support at 1.14500. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

📊 GBP rises on expectations of Fed rate cut and Middle East de-escalation The British pound (GBP) rose towards 1.35200 on Monday following the de-escalation of the Middle East conflict. 👉 Possible effects for traders S&P Global’s flash composite PMI for June edged up to 50.7, slightly above expectations and signaling marginal expansion in private sector activity. The manufacturing sector continued to contract but at a slower pace than forecast, while services activity aligned with analyst estimates. While this data provided a modest cushion for the pound, it was insufficient to counteract the broader risk-off sentiment dominating global markets. U.K. business activity expanded modestly in June, supported by a rise in new orders—the first increase this year—although the broader outlook remained cautious, with employers accelerating job cuts and voicing concern over geopolitical risks. S&P Global's flash composite Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for June edged up towards 50.7, slightly above expectations and signalling marginal expansion in private sector activity. The manufacturing sector continued to contract but slower than expected, with services activity matching analyst estimates. The data offered modest support for the pound. Still, last week's unexpectedly dovish stance from the Bank of England (BoE) added pressure on GBP. The central bank left rates unchanged, but the internal vote revealed a deeper split than markets anticipated. Three of the nine members of the Monetary Policy Committee favoured an immediate rate cut. The BoE underscored ongoing inflation concerns and highlighted 'two-sided risks', noting that inflation is likely to remain elevated well into 2025. This cautious tone prompted markets to reassess the likelihood of future rate cuts, putting pressure on the pound. GBPUSD slightly rose during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Investor attention is now on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's upcoming testimony before the U.S. Congress on Tuesday and Wednesday. Markets will be looking for signals on the Fed's policy trajectory amid mixed economic data. Market expectations for a July rate cut have increased, with the CME FedWatch Tool now indicating a 20% probability of a rate cut, up from 14.5% just a day earlier. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

#weekly_outlook 🔎 Keeping up-to-date with the market helps you make better trading decisions Here’s a Weekly Market Outlook for 23 – 27 June from Vito Henjoto. Stay informed and trade wisely.

📊 Australian dollar falls towards four-week low The Australian dollar (AUD) slipped below 0.64300 on Monday—the lowest level in four weeks—as investors flocked to the U.S. dollar (USD) amid rising geopolitical tensions. 👉 Possible effects for traders The greenback strengthened on safe-haven demand following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend. U.S. President Donald Trump warned that military action would continue if Tehran failed to agree on peaceful terms. This stance heightened market anxiety amid growing risks of further escalation. Despite external headwinds, the Australian economy showed signs of resilience. Preliminary June data revealed that private sector activity expanded for a ninth consecutive month, with the composite Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) climbing to 51.2 from 50.5 in May. This marked the second-fastest growth rate in the past 10 months, signalling steady momentum in both the manufacturing and services sectors. AUDUSD maintained its downward momentum during Asian and early European trading sessions. The manufacturing PMI remained stable at 51, while the services PMI improved towards a three-month high of 51.3, up from 50.6 in the previous month. These figures suggest domestic demand and business activity are holding up well, even as global uncertainties weigh on investor sentiment and the local currency. Key technical levels to watch are resistance at 0.64500 and support at 0.64000. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

📊 Euro falls as Middle East tensions escalate The euro (EUR) declined towards 1.14600 on Monday as heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. 👉 Possible effects for traders The drop followed U.S. airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend—a move that surprised markets. Just days earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that a decision on Iran would be made 'within the next two weeks', bolstering hopes of a diplomatic resolution. As tensions escalate, investors remain on edge, closely watching Tehran's potential response. Concerns are mounting over the possibility of retaliatory attacks on U.S. personnel in the Middle East or disruptions to global oil supplies via the Strait of Hormuz. These risks have increased market volatility and strengthened the U.S. dollar as investors seek shelter in dollar-denominated assets. EURUSD fell during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, S&P Global Market Intelligence will release its highly anticipated Purchasing Managers' Indices (PMIs). PMIs will be published for several major economies: Germany, France, the U.S., and the eurozone. If European PMIs are weaker than expected, EURUSD could break below 1.14600 and head lower. Conversely, better-than-expected results may trigger a rebound towards 1.15400. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

📊 Gold declines despite increased safe-haven demand Gold (XAU) traded near $3,360 on Monday amid heightened volatility as investors reacted to the intensifying conflict in the Middle East. 👉 Possible effects for traders Over the weekend, U.S. forces targeted three of Iran's primary nuclear facilities, prompting U.S. President Donald Trump to issue a stern warning of further military action unless Tehran agrees to peace terms. The deepening hostility between Israel and Iran has fuelled a strong rally in gold, which has surged by nearly 30% year-to-date, as geopolitical risks continue to mount. Markets will also be watching several key economic events this week. Federal Reserve (Fed) officials are scheduled to speak throughout the week, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell due to testify before Congress. His comments are likely to address the economic fallout from recent U.S. tariffs and the broader implications of the Iran conflict. In addition, investors await key U.S. data—core inflation, weekly jobless claims, and PMI figures—for further insight into the Fed's monetary policy outlook. XAUUSD fell during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, the market should focus on the S&P Composite Purchasing Managers' Index data at 1:45 p.m. UTC. A higher-than-expected number will put downward pressure on XAUUSD, while lower-than-anticipated figures suggest a bullish outlook for gold. Key levels to watch are support at $3,340 and resistance at $3,400. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

📊 Bitcoin drops as risk appetite weakens Bitcoin (BTC) fell slightly on Thursday but remained within a narrow trading range, as speculation over potential U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict kept investors cautious. Geopolitical uncertainty has dampened appetite for riskier assets, with traders remaining cautious amid fears of a broader regional escalation. 👉 Possible effects for traders Adding to the cautious sentiment, the Federal Reserve (Fed) was relatively hawkish at its last monetary policy meeting. The central bank left interest rates unchanged and offered no clear commitment to easing in the near term. Moreover, it revised its outlook for 2026, now anticipating fewer rate cuts than previously expected. This further pressured riskier assets, including cryptocurrencies. Fed Chair Jerome Powell also warned that U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs could increase inflation in the coming months. This inflationary risk reduces the likelihood of aggressive monetary easing, reinforcing a bearish tone across markets. As a result, broader risk-driven assets pulled back following Powell's remarks. The crypto market, including Bitcoin, saw limited upside amid the heightened uncertainty. BTCUSD continued to fall during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Today's macroeconomic calendar is relatively uneventful, so traders should monitor potential U.S. involvement in the Middle East conflict. Key levels to watch are support at $103,000 and resistance at $106,000. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

📊 Euro awaits Trump's decision on operation in Iran The euro (EUR) grew slightly towards around 1.15000 on Thursday, supported by safe-haven demand amid escalating geopolitical tensions. 👉 Possible effects for traders The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, coupled with the potential for direct U.S. involvement, continued to drive risk aversion in global markets. Geopolitical turmoil prompted investors to favour the U.S. dollar despite the minor pullback. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve (Fed) held interest rates steady earlier in the week and reiterated its data-driven stance amid rising geopolitical and economic risks. Fed Chair Jerome Powell warned that inflation could rise in the near term, fuelled partly by the inflationary impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs. The Fed also revised its economic forecast, projecting slower economic growth and affirming expectations for two 25-basis-point rate cuts in 2025. Investors now await key economic data, including the Philadelphia Fed manufacturing survey and the Conference Board's leading indicators, for further clues on the U.S. interest rate path. EURUSD rose during Asian and early European trading sessions. Today's formal macroeconomic calendar is relatively uneventful, so volatility is likely to be low. Still, investors should closely monitor potential U.S. involvement in the Middle East conflict. Reports suggest Trump has issued an ultimatum to Iran, offering a final opportunity to negotiate an end to its nuclear ambitions. While a decision on possible military strikes has been deferred for up to two weeks, the uncertainty surrounding the outcome has added to market volatility. Key levels to watch are support at 1.14500 and resistance at 1.15500. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

📊 Gold approaching one-week low Gold prices (XAU) remained relatively unchanged on Thursday. 👉 Possible effects for traders The Federal Reserve (Fed) held interest rates steady this week but projected two rate cuts before the end of the year. However, Fed Chair Jerome Powell warned that inflation could be stubborn due to ongoing tariff tensions. The Fed's latest projections also indicated slower economic growth, higher inflation, and weaker employment in 2025. Persistently high inflation may limit the central bank's ability to ease monetary policy aggressively, which could reduce the appeal of non-yielding assets like gold. Gold prices dropped during the Asian and early European trading sessions, marking the first weekly decline in three weeks. The downturn came as investors offloaded gold to cover losses in other markets amid intensifying geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East. Safe-haven demand appeared to weaken despite rising tensions due to liquidity concerns. The conflict between Israel and Iran escalated further, with Israel intensifying strikes on strategic and government locations in Tehran. This followed reports of an Iranian missile strike hitting a major hospital in Israel. The geopolitical uncertainty deepened as attention turned to Washington, where U.S. President Donald Trump was reportedly considering direct military intervention against Iran, with a final decision expected within two weeks. Key levels to watch for XAUUSD are support at $3,340 and resistance at $3,400. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

USDCAD, 30-minute timeframe chart 👉General outlook USDCAD has been trading in a bearish trend for the last couple of hours. 👉Possible scenario The best way to use this opportunity is to place a Buy order at 1.36980. Set your stop loss at 1.36750 below the previous low ($1.68 loss for 0.01 lot) and take profit at 1.37210 ($1.68 profit for 0.01 lot). The risk-reward ratio for this order is 1:1. The upcoming news will not influence your orders within the mentioned period. Some traders may close their positions on Friday, which can add more pressure to the market. @octa_analytics
