📊 Rising economic uncertainty supports demand for gold The gold (XAU) price failed to rally on Tuesday and finished the trading session essentially unchanged as U.S. Treasury yields continued to rise. 👉Possible effects for traders Still, the weakening U.S. dollar (USD) and escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China continue supporting gold prices. Investors now seek safe-haven assets amid global geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. 'Despite falling for three consecutive sessions, gold remains bullish with trade tensions and the prospect of lower U.S. interest rates boosting its allure. A solid breakout above $3,055 may open the doors back toward $3,100 and $3,130. Sustained weakness below $3,000 could see gold slip toward $2,950 and $2,930', said Lukman Otunuga, senior research analyst at FXTM. Following U.S. President Donald Trump's 2 April announcement of reciprocal tariffs, worries about a global trade war have intensified. Moreover, reports emerged yesterday that the U.S. will impose a significant 104% tariff on Chinese goods after Beijing failed to remove its retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products. The U.S. dollar has been falling, making bullion less expensive for other currency holders. In addition, investors now have a rather dovish view of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) future monetary policy, providing an additional fundamental boost to XAUUSD. 'The significant rise in rate cut expectations in recent days suggest that the gold price will soon rise again', Commerzbank said in a note. XAUUSD rose during the Asian and early European trading sessions. The market will now pay close attention to any tariff-related news. Furthermore, traders are looking forward to the FOMC minutes from the Fed's latest policy meeting. The minutes will come out at 6:00 p.m. UTC today and may give more clues on the path of U.S. interest rates. 📲 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 tariffs weaken U.S. dollar and support euro The euro (EUR) gained 0.48% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Tuesday following reports that German political parties agreed to form a coalition. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar weakened against major currencies due to fears of recession. 👉Possible effects for traders There is conflicting information regarding the formation of a German government. NTV, a German news network, reported that Friedrich Merz's conservatives and the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) had agreed to form a coalition. However, Reuters stated that its sources claimed no such deal had been reached. Following the recent German election, investors closely monitor political developments in the country. They are concerned that disagreements between parties could prevent the formation of a stable coalition and lead to a dysfunctional government in Europe's largest economy. These fears have been alleviated now, driving bullish sentiment in EURUSD. Fundamentally, investors have been concentrated on the trade conflicts initiated by U.S. President Donald Trump's extensive tariffs, which have completely disrupted the markets lately. A full-scale trade war would harm the eurozone economy. Still, the current investors' flight to safe-haven currencies like the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen weakens the U.S. dollar, pushing the EURUSD exchange rate higher. EURUSD rose during the Asian and early European trading sessions. The market now expects more tariff-related news. Today, the most important event is the FOMC minutes from the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) latest policy meeting at 6:00 p.m. UTC. The report will probably give more clues on the path of U.S. rate cuts. The market now expects the Fed to pursue a more dovish monetary policy than the European Central Bank, which should support EURUSD in the mid-term. 📲 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

📊 Japanese yen rises on strong safe-haven sentiment The Japanese yen (JPY) gained 1% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Tuesday. The greenback continued to weaken amid fears of global recession, and investors rushed towards the safe-haven Japanese yen. 👉Possible effects for traders Financial markets are bracing for a protracted trade conflict between the U.S. and China. Beijing has resolutely refused to concede to what it has characterised as 'blackmail'. The government declared its intention to 'fight to the end' in response to President Trump's threat to elevate tariffs to 104% due to China's decision to impose equivalent duties following Trump's tariff announcement last week. As a result, the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc benefitted from the appetite for safe-haven assets, as investors remain concerned about the potential for a global recession. Meanwhile, Katsunobu Kat, Japanese Finance Minister, said that trade negotiations between Japan and the U.S. could include discussions on foreign exchange rates. 'There has been various communication, including on exchange rates, from the U.S. side, so currency moves could be among themes up for discussion. But specifics have yet to be set', Kato told parliament. With President Donald Trump prioritising the reduction of the large U.S. trade deficit, some analysts suggest that Washington could pressure Japan to reverse the yen's decline, which happened over the past decade, as it provides a competitive edge to Japanese exports. In theory, it means that USDJPY may continue to decline further. USDJPY fell during the Asian session but started to rise again during the early European trading hours. Today, the market will pay close attention to any tariff-related news. Also, traders are looking forward to FOMC minutes from the Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting. The report will come out at 6:00 p.m. UTC and may offer more clues on the U.S. monetary policy plans. If the minutes suggest a dovish sentiment among FOMC members favouring more rate cuts, USDJPY may fall below 144.200. Conversely, a more hawkish tone could pull USDJPY higher towards 146.700. 📲 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

📊Gold continues decreasing, but the long-term bullish trend persists The gold (XAU) price dropped by 1.8% on Monday as the U.S. Treasury yields surged, while the U.S. dollar (USD) continued to rise after the announcement of U.S. tariffs fuelled fears of a global recession. 👉Possible effects for traders Optimism surrounding possible trade negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump fuelled a rebound in U.S. Treasury yields on Monday. This pushed 10-year yields towards their largest daily increase in a year. Stronger U.S. dollar and higher yields had a bearish impact on XAUUSD, which has been pressured lately by a broader market meltdown. 'We're getting a lot of stress in the gold market because of liquidity concerns and margin covering by speculators', said Bart Melek, head of commodity strategies at TD Securities. Indeed, wider losses in the equity markets prompted traders to close their long positions in gold to meet margin calls elsewhere. Still, the long-term trend for XAUUSD remains bullish as the world remains gripped by the unfolding trade war, adding to general geopolitical and economic uncertainty. 'Gold retreats as investors turn to cash and other safe havens like the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen amid market turmoil, creating a risk of deeper corrections', said Nikos Tzabouras, senior market analyst at Tradu.com. According to Reuters, money markets expect around 120 basis points worth of interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) by December. The chance of a rate cut at the next Fed meeting in May stands at 37%. A non-yielding asset like gold will usually thrive in a low-interest environment. XAUUSD rose during the Asian and early European trading sessions. The macroeconomic calendar is rather uneventful today, but news on possible trade deals and tariff relief may trigger additional volatility in XAUUSD. 'Spot gold may bounce to $3,049 per ounce, following the completion of a five-wave cycle from $3,168', said Reuters analyst Wang Tao. 📲 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 drops on news about more trade tariffs The euro (EUR) lost 0.47% against the U.S. dollar (USD) during Monday's volatile trading session. 👉Possible effects for traders Yesterday's trading session faced extreme volatility, with the intraday EURUSD exchange rate fluctuating in a broad range of 1.08780–1.10500. Initially, the pair surged after news about U.S. President Donald Trump considering a 90-day pause on tariffs. However, the White House officials quickly denied the report, sending EURUSD lower again. Later that day, Trump warned about an additional 50% tariff on China if the country imposed its retaliatory tariffs. All these made traders even more bearish and prompted them to seek safe-haven currencies like the U.S. dollar, the Swiss franc, and the Japanese yen. 'Because tariffs are thought to be hurting world growth, those currencies that seem to be more like risk-on currencies—the dollar bloc and the Scandies—they are underperforming. On the other hand, the currencies that are typically safe-haven currencies—like the Swiss franc and yen—are performing better', said Marc Chandler, chief market strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex. According to Reuters, traders are watching for signs that large sovereign holders, including China, may be reducing their U.S. debt holdings. If China were to accelerate the sale of U.S. bonds, the U.S. dollar would weaken, pushing EURUSD higher. Meanwhile, in response to U.S. tariffs, the European Commission proposed counter-tariffs of 25% on a range of U.S. goods. At the same time, the European Commission leaves the door open for a possible deal. According to Reuters, officials offered a 'zero-for-zero' tariff deal to avert a trade war. EU ministers agreed to prioritise negotiations with the U.S. while striking back with targeted countermeasures next week. Any negotiations progress will certainly help lift EURUSD, but if the talks fail, the pair will likely fall sharply. EURUSD rose during the Asian and early European trading sessions. The economic calendar is relatively light today. Still, more news on possible trade deals and tariffs may trigger additional volatility in EURUSD. Key levels to watch are resistance at 1.10500 and support at 1.08780. 📲 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

📊GBP plunges after more tariffs announcement The British pound (GBP) lost 1.33% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Monday due to a general risk-off sentiment. This prompted investors to seek the safety of USD and weakened riskier assets like GBP. 👉Possible effects for traders Although GBP and other major currencies have been weakening lately, it isn't clear if the greenback can continue to appreciate. Analysts have pointed out that the U.S. dollar risks losing its safe-haven appeal as concerns about trade tariffs and their impact on U.S. economic growth become more pronounced. 'Although we're getting erratic weakness in foreign currencies like the euro, sterling and even the Canadian dollar, the underlying trend here is the potential for losing faith in the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency. If one has to consider the view one year out as opposed to one week out, it still seems like it's tilted towards a weak U.S. dollar', said Thierry Albert Wizman, global FX and rates strategist at Macquarie. Indeed, President Trump's tariff announcements triggered a dramatic market sell-off, erasing nearly $6 trillion from U.S. stock valuations. Amidst this volatility, over 50 countries have reportedly sought trade negotiations with the White House. However, China responded with retaliatory measures, including imposing a 34% tariff on all U.S. goods. Consequently, traders have significantly increased their expectations for Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cuts, anticipating a more aggressive monetary policy response to mitigate the potential economic fallout. At the same time, the Bank of England (BoE) is still expected to deliver only two rate cuts this year. Thus, the fundamental pressure on GBPUSD may turn bullish in the coming days and weeks. GBPUSD rose during the Asian and early European trading sessions. The formal macroeconomic calendar is rather uneventful today, but news on possible trade deals or additional tariffs may trigger volatility in EURUSD. Key levels to watch are resistance at 1.28000 and support at 1.27000. 📲 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
