📊Strong safe-haven demand pushes gold higher The gold (XAU) price rose 0.91% on Friday, hitting a new all-time high. Gold increased as safe-haven demand remained strong amid growing trade war concerns stemming from U.S. President Donald Trump's new tariffs. 👉Possible effects for traders The U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index were higher than expected, but it didn't significantly change investors' interest rate expectations. On the contrary, a lower-than-anticipated rise in consumer spending and elevated prices boost the fears of stagflation, additionally supporting bullion. According to Reuters, Donald Trump's protectionist trade agenda, with a rush of tariff action announcements, will boost the prices of imported goods and drive inflation higher. The Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell acknowledged last week that inflation had started to rise 'partly in response to tariffs'. Trump should make another trade policy announcement on 2 April. This may destabilise the global trade even further. Thus, investors flock to gold, a hedge against economic and political instability. 'It continues to be the safe-haven demand on ramped-up concerns about tariffs, trade and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty as well, that is supporting gold', said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals. XAUUSD rose during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Earlier on Sunday, Trump threatened Iran with bombing and secondary tariffs if Tehran didn't come to an agreement with Washington over its nuclear program. Today, the formal macroeconomic calendar is light. However, traders should continue to monitor developments on global trade tariffs and potential progress in Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH Follow @octa_analytics for more expert information

📊Euro rose as the U.S. dollar weakened The euro (EUR) gained 0.24% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Friday as the greenback weakened due to concerns about slowing U.S. economy. 👉Possible effects for traders Friday's U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index was higher than expected. This and a smaller-than-expected increase in consumer spending exacerbated investors' worries about the U.S. economy's health. The worst-case scenario will be stagflation, where the U.S. enters a period of sluggish growth and high inflation amid escalating trade tensions. In these circumstances, it will be very difficult for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to balance full employment and low prices properly. In addition, the lack of clarity over what tariffs Donald Trump's administration will implement has further added to investor caution. As a result, the U.S. dollar, U.S. stock indices, and Treasury yields have been weakening. 'The one word that I keep hearing over and over from clients, and on earnings calls and things, is uncertainty. And you hear this from the central bankers as well', said Marc Chandler, chief market strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex. Meanwhile, technical factors support the euro after rebounding from its 1.07270 200-day moving average and a key Fibonacci retracement level. Overall, European economic data painted a concerning picture, with March inflation figures in France and Spain significantly falling short of projections. Consumer expectations for price increases remained low, increasing speculation about further European Central Bank (ECB) rate cuts. Moreover, French consumer spending declined, Germany's unemployment rate climbed more than anticipated, and Italian business and consumer confidence plummeted in March. All these further added to the negative sentiment. EURUSD rose during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, traders should focus on the German inflation figures, which should be released before 12:00 p.m. UTC. In addition, traders should monitor developments concerning global trade tariffs and Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations. Key levels to watch are resistance at 1.08560 and support at 1.08000. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH Follow @octa_analytics for more expert information

📊AUD traders await interest rate decision The Australian dollar (AUD) lost 0.25% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Friday. This is because growing fears over global recession triggered by a trade war weighed on risk-sensitive currencies. 👉Possible effects for traders Investors' risk sentiment has deteriorated ahead of an announcement of U.S. trade tariffs, which might destabilise the world trade even further. Australia has an export-driven economy, and currency is highly sensitive to global risk sentiment. Thus, an increase in global economic uncertainty leads to decreased demand for Australian commodities and a depreciation of the Australian dollar. In addition, AUD traders have refrained from opening large positions ahead of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) meeting, which should provide clues on the direction of interest rates. 'AUDUSD can test 0.62000 this week if financial markets materially downgrade the global economic outlook in response to a new U.S. tariff regime and the RBA strikes a dovish tone', said Kristina Clifton, an economist at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. Interest rate swaps market data imply just an 18% probability of a rate cut on Tuesday, while there is a 70% probability of a decrease at May's meeting. For all of 2025, the markets expect three rate cuts, although the RBA has indicated it may not be cutting that much. AUDUSD fell during the Asian and early European trading session. Today, the economic calendar is uneventful. However, traders should monitor developments around global trade tariffs. The main event for the pair is tomorrow at 3:30 a.m. UTC when the RBA makes its monetary policy announcement. The market expects the central bank to leave its base rate unchanged at 4.1%. However, the market usually moves not due to the decision but because of the new details revealed in the post-meeting statement and at the press conference. If the RBA downgrade its economic forecast and Michele Bullock, RBA Governor, hints that more rate cuts are coming, AUDUSD will fall. If the statement includes better economic assessments, while Michele Bullock makes hawkish statements or sounds less dovish, AUDUSD may rise significantly. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH Follow @octa_analytics for more expert information

🔗 Trade crypto in the Octa app 💡 What's happening? Bitcoin continues to trade between $79,000 and $90,000 but with a growing bearish tone. BTC reached $86,000 after the U.S. imposed new auto import tariffs. 🔹 President Trump's tariff escalation—25% on imported cars and light trucks—has renewed investor caution. 🔹 While early fears have calmed, the risk of a full-scale trade war still weighs heavily on sentiment. 🔹 As a result, many are shifting away from high-risk assets like Bitcoin toward safer alternatives. 🔹 Short-term volatility may spike as Bitcoin option contracts worth $12.14B are set to expire. 📊 Technical outlook BTC is showing sideways movement inside a triangle, but bearish sentiments are gaining ground. The price recently broke the triangle's lower boundary, confirming downward pressure. 📉 If bearish momentum continues, BTC may drop toward $79,000. 📈 If bulls regain control, a move toward $90,000 is possible. 💭 Where do you see Bitcoin next—breakout or breakdown?

EURUSD, 1-hour timeframe chart 👉General outlook EURUSD has been trading in a bullish trend for the last couple of hours. 👉Possible scenario The best way to use this opportunity is to place a Buy order at 1.08316.

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

📊Safe-haven demand pushes gold higher and higher The gold (XAU) price surged by 1.22% on Thursday and set a new all-time high. Investors fled to the safe-haven asset amidst rising global trade tensions and falling equity markets triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump's new auto tariffs. 👉Possible effects for traders Donald Trump announced that the U.S. will impose an additional 25% tariff on imports of vehicles starting at 4:01 a.m. UTC on 3 April. Other countries—specifically Canada and France—immediately threatened to retaliate. 'We will fight the U.S. tariffs with retaliatory trade actions of our own that will have maximum impact in the United States and minimum impacts here in Canada', Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said at a news conference. Eric Lombard, French Finance Minister, called Trump's plan 'very bad news', and said the only solution was for the European Union (EU) to raise its own tariffs. In response, Trump said he might hit the EU and Canada with larger tariffs if they teamed up to retaliate. Overall, global trade tensions are rising rapidly. Investors turn to gold as a traditional safe-haven asset, seeking to mitigate the potential risks associated with volatile equity markets and global macroeconomic uncertainty. Thus, the gold price rises towards new heights as investors prioritise capital preservation over higher-risk investments. 'Looks like we're going to see gold futures hit $3,100 here shortly, and the main catalyst is safe-haven buying', said Bob Haberkorn, senior market strategist at RJO Futures. Goldman Sachs, a major investment bank, raised its end-2025 gold price forecast towards $3,300, up from $3,100. The main drivers for the rise are stronger-than-expected inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and sustained central bank demand. XAUUSD continued to rise during the Asian and early European trading sessions, hitting another all-time high. Investors are now awaiting the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data due at 12:30 p.m. UTC to get clues on the Federal Reserve's (Fed) further actions. However, any news around trade tariffs will likely overshadow official inflation statistics. XAUUSD remains in a very strong bullish trend, with traders now targeting $3,096 and $3,114. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH Follow @octa_analytics for more expert information

📊U.S. tariffs put bearish pressure on euro The euro (EUR) gained 0.46% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Thursday, indicating a technical rebound from a very strong support level. 👉Possible effects for traders EURUSD tested its 200-day moving average yesterday but found support, prompting short-term buying as traders interpreted the level's resilience as a bullish signal. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is now experiencing downward pressure, reflecting uncertainty about the potential impact of new U.S. trade tariffs expected next week. Initial optimism regarding potential flexibility in U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff decisions spurred risk appetite and strengthened the U.S. dollar earlier this week. However, market participants remain cautious as they await his 2 April announcement on automobile tariffs. Eurozone equity indices, specifically the shares of automakers like Volkswagen, plunged to multi-week lows, indicating a damaged investors' confidence. Heightened concerns about potential trade barriers and their direct impact on the export-heavy automotive sector is a crucial component of the eurozone's economy, pressuring the euro. 'The U.S. has chosen a path at whose end lie only losers since tariffs and isolation hurt prosperity for everyone', German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said. Fundamentally, EURUSD remains under bearish pressure as the eurozone economy is already struggling with elevated energy costs and faces the risk of higher trade tariffs. Money markets currently price in a 38% chance that the European Central Bank (ECB) will cut its base rate to 2% by the end of 2025. This outlook is more dovish than the Federal Reserve's (Fed) expected monetary policy. EURUSD fell during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, traders should watch out for any new developments around trade tariffs. In addition, the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index will come out at 12:30 p.m. UTC and may spur some extra volatility. The market expects a 0.3% rise in the monthly core PCE and a 2.7% annual increase. Higher-than-expected figures will likely push EURUSD towards 1.07500. Conversely, lower-than-expected results may pull the pair higher towards 1.08360. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH Follow @octa_analytics for more expert information

📊Bitcoin declines, following major U.S. indices The Bitcoin (BTC) price dropped by 1.2% on Thursday but remained above the important 200-day moving average. 👉Possible effects for traders Bitcoin is a risk-sensitive asset that closely tracks the performance of equity indices, specifically Nasdaq. U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to impose 25% tariffs on imported cars and light trucks triggered a decrease in all major U.S. stock indexes on Thursday, with automakers experiencing significant declines. The risk of an escalating global trade war has further poisoned investors' sentiment, pushing BTCUSD and other crypto coins down. The negative correlation between BTCUSD and XAUUSD during periods of heightened uncertainty shows a divergence from the narrative that Bitcoin should function as 'digital gold'. This suggests that, rather than acting as a safe-haven asset mirroring gold's moves, Bitcoin's price exhibits a distinct and often opposite reaction to market anxieties. BTCUSD fell during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Traders should prepare for increased volatility later today as Bitcoin options contracts, with about $12.14 billion in notional value, will expire today. In addition, the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index report is due at 12:30 p.m. UTC. The data may spur some extra volatility, as it will shed light on future changes in U.S. interest rates. The market expects a 0.3% rise in the monthly core PCE Price Index and a 2.7% annual increase. Higher-than-expected figures will likely push BTCUSD towards $84,900. Lower-than-expected results may pull the pair up towards $87,000. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH Follow @octa_analytics for more expert information
