1. Forex Market Insight  

EUR/USD 

The U.S. could begin tapering the scale of monthly bond purchases as early as November, followed by the rate hike, as the Fed accelerates its shift from the pandemic crisis policy.

Markets remain anxious about the U.S. debt ceiling negotiations, although the U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said Republicans would allow an extension of the federal debt ceiling until December, a move that would avoid a historic default and a heavy blow to the economy.

The U.S. nonfarm payrolls report remains the focus of investors’ attention this weekend, as the report could provide clues to the Fed’s next move.

Institutional surveys show that Friday’s non-farm payrolls data is expected to show continued improvement in the job market and is expected to increase by 473,000 jobs in September. In addition, the ADP National Employment Report showed on Wednesday that the U.S. employment rate grew more than expected in September as the Covid-19 pandemic began to recede, and Americans were able to travel, dine-in and re-engage in other high-contact activities.

GBP Intraday Trend Analysis 

Fundamental Analysis： 

The pound fell by 0.34% against the dollar to 1.3582. The pair’s implied volatility rose to a seven-month high of around 7.9% on Wednesday, 6th October. The surging energy prices, and the surging bond yields led to a 0.3% drop in the pound against the dollar, implied volatility. With this, it acts as an indicator to measure the expected volatility in currency options.

The recent weak sentiment is driven by higher energy prices and the impact on inflation and possible central bank shocks Given the upward pressure on inflation, markets are becoming increasingly skeptical that some central banks, particularly the Federal Reserve, can continue to delay policy normalization. The dangerous combination of tighter monetary policy and slower economic growth is clearly making investors nervous.

2. Precious Metals Market Insight

 

Gold 

Fundamental Analysis: 

Yesterday, gold prices bottomed out and closed higher as U.S. bond yields retreated. But a stronger dollar limited gold’s gain, while the improvement of the ADP employment data and market optimism also weighed on gold prices.

The main concern during the day is the initial jobless claims and challenger layoffs data. Against this background, the data may be a positive sign for the dollar and negative for gold.
