Gold Prices Climb Higher, Oil Prices Rise More Than 1.6%


1. Forex Market Insight    

EUR/USD  

EUR/USD rose for third straight session on Tuesday, 19th July 2022. 

Earlier, Reuters reported citing sources that the European Central Bank (ECB) policymakers are considering raising interest rates by 50 basis points, a larger-than-expected rate, at their meeting on Thursday to curb record-high inflation.

The euro rallied further away from near-parity levels hit last week, as expectations for an aggressive 100 basis point rate hike by the Federal Reserve this month have dented the greenback. 

Technical Analysis:
