Unless CPI comes in soft next week, a September 16 rate hike is now the base case. USD bulls have the wind at their backs. Fade gold and euro rallies until CPI changes the picture. #NFP #NFPReaction #PostNFP #PreNYOpen #XAUUSD #Gold #GBPUSD #EURUSD #DXY #FedWatch #FOMC #USD #Forex ⚠️ Disclaimer: Market analysis provided is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice.
