📊 Gold plunges on announcement of Russia-Ukraine negotiations On Friday, gold (XAU) declined by 1.5%, which is the largest daily decline since the beginning of 2025. The price had already tested the $2,940 level twice but failed to break through it. This could indicate a potential correction after a rapid growth. 👉 Possible effects for traders On Monday, XAUUSD rose amid a weak U.S. dollar (USD) as market participants await further details regarding U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed tariff measures, which could heighten global trade tensions. Additionally, weaker-than-expected U.S. economic data added to the decline of the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY). The weakened U.S. dollar and uncertainties in relations between the U.S. and its major trading partners have contributed to gold's strength. Meanwhile, markets anticipate that the Russia-Ukraine conflict may soon end, as representatives from the Trump administration will begin peace talks with Russian and Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia in the near future. If prospects for peace increase, demand for safe-haven assets may decline. Nevertheless, as long as concerns regarding tariffs and inflation persist, the gold price may continue its upward trend. The market will be relatively calm today, without any important releases. XAUUSD received support and may now attempt to rebound from $2,880. However, a scenario where the price continues to correct downward toward $2,840 seems more likely. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

📊 Two strong fundamental factors drive up the euro On Friday, the euro (EUR) increased by approximately 0.25%, bringing the price closer to the 1.05000 resistance level. The pair failed to break this level at the end of January, but EURUSD may break above it following last week's strong bullish trend. 👉 Possible effects for traders Currently, two significant fundamental factors are driving the EURUSD upwards. Firstly, there has been a delay in implementing U.S. trade tariffs. The delay in tariffs has decreased market concerns regarding a potential rise in worldwide inflation. Donald Trump appears to use tariffs as a means of negotiation rather than an economic tool. So far, he has imposed only a 10% tariff on China out of all the promised duties. The decrease in inflation expectations weakened the U.S. dollar (USD), supporting other major currencies, particularly the euro and the British pound. Secondly, there is hope for peaceful negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, boosting optimism about the European economy. Traders are buying the euro and pound as part of a 'double victory' strategy, hoping that peace in Ukraine will strengthen confidence in the European economic outlook. Excessive optimism following the U.S. election is fading, weakening the U.S. dollar. However, the long-term sustainability of the euro recovery remains uncertain as threats of Trump's tariffs and complex peace negotiations continue. Trump has threatened to announce new car tariffs on 2 April, increasing pressure on U.S. trading partners, particularly the eurozone. In addition, upcoming early elections in Germany may also affect the euro. The resistance level at 1.05000 is significant. A rebound is expected from this level, followed by a possible return to 1.04500. If EURUSD manages to break above the resistance, it may rise towards 1.06000 or higher. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

📊 AUDUSD awaits the RBA interest rate decision The Australian dollar (AUD) finished Friday essentially unchanged against the U.S. dollar (USD) but dropped by more than 1.5% on Monday morning, reaching a multi-year low. 👉 Possible effects for traders This week will be eventful for AUD traders as the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will meet on Tuesday. More than 90% of economists surveyed by Reuters believe that the regulator will lower the interest rate by 0.25%, bringing it towards 4.1%. However, some analysts argue that the decision should be more balanced. 'Our base case, a neutral-to-hawkish cut, is one where policy easing comes with minimal forward guidance', said Lachlan Dinan, macro strategist at Deutsche Bank. If the interest rate remains unchanged, it could lead to a 1% increase in AUDUSD. Apart from the decision, traders should focus on the following press conference and officials' comments about the direction of monetary policy in the near future. During today's U.S. trading session, the currency pair may test the nearest resistance level at 0.64000 and attempt to break above it. The RBA will announce the decision on 18 February at 3:30 a.m. UTC, with the press conference beginning at 4:30 a.m. UTC. Additionally, Australia will release several economic reports throughout the week, including payroll data on Wednesday and employment data on Thursday. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

📊 Gold continues to rise on trade war fears On Thursday, the gold (XAU) price gained 0.87% on continuing safe-haven flows as U.S. President Donald Trump plans to impose reciprocal tariffs, heightening global trade concerns. 👉 Possible effects for traders The U.S. president has vowed to impose reciprocal tariffs on every country that charges duties on U.S. imports, raising fears of a worldwide trade war. Gold tends to perform well when geopolitical tensions are on the rise. In addition, because tariffs will likely fuel inflation, investors buy gold as it offers some protection against rising consumer prices. Yesterday's report showed that January's U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) was slightly higher than expected, but it didn't strongly impact XAUUSD. 'The major factor is political uncertainty and the economic consequences ... the PPI was pretty much neutral, and it didn't really have much of an effect on gold. Investors around the world are worried about what the Trump policies will do to the overall economy', said Jeffrey Christian, managing partner of CPM Group. Overall, investors continue to buy safe-haven assets as they offer some protection amid growing trade tensions. Market participants flee towards gold despite high U.S. interest rates for longer and improving prospects of a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. XAUUSD mainly was flat during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, traders should continue to pay close attention to any news about U.S. tariff plans. Also, the U.S. Retail Sales report at 1:30 p.m. UTC may trigger some volatility but is unlikely to change the underlying bullish trend in XAUUSD. 'Spot gold may break resistance at $2,939 per ounce and rise into the $2,971 to $2,983 range', 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

📊 The euro rallies as the U.S. delays tariff implementation The euro (EUR) gained 0.79% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Thursday as the greenback weakened after the White House said they won't immediately implement reciprocal tariffs. 👉 Possible effects for traders New trade tariffs weren't coming into force on Thursday as many market participants had expected. Trump's trade and economic team continues to study bilateral trade relationships, so tariffs could be imposed within weeks. A delay may indicate that the Trump administration keeps the door open to possible negotiations and has been perceived positively by investors. In addition, minor details revealed yesterday in the Producer Price Index (PPI) report may have caused the U.S. dollar's weakness. According to Reuters, key components that make up the final PPI number were relatively low, suggesting that the core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index will likely be lower than expected when released later this month. The PCE is a favourite Federal Reserve inflation measure. After Thursday's PPI data, economists at Morgan Stanley revised their core PCE inflation expectation for January from 0.4% towards 0.3%. Overall, the recent rally in EURUSD is based on hopes that the U.S. will delay tariff implementation and the latest U.S. inflation figures will allow the Fed to deliver at least one rate cut this year. In other words, the EURUSD rally doesn't reflect the eurozone's strength and should be treated with caution. The fundamental pressure on the euro is still bearish as the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to pursue a looser monetary policy in 2025 than the Fed. EURUSD was falling during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, the main focus is on the U.S. Retail Sales report at 1:30 p.m. UTC. Also, traders should consider any new developments and events regarding U.S. trade tariff plans. Market volatility will likely remain elevated as political events, both domestic and international, create uncertainty. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH
