Gold Prices Fall Over 1%, U.S. Oil Drops Nearly 2%


The euro continued to fall on Monday, 10 October 2022, with the euro closing down 0.43% against the dollar at 0.9696. 

Any measures that might dampen the economic effects of high energy costs this winter could support the euro, said economists at Commerzbank. 

What is important for the euro is not that a single member state decides on effective aid measures, but that the entire currency area has support measures in place. 

In this context, there seems to be a conflict at the EU level as to which measures to implement, which seems to be problematic. 

Economists at Commerzbank warned that the threat of an energy crisis could continue to put pressure on the euro.

GBP Intraday Trend Analysis   

Fundamental Analysis:

In the U.K., the Bank of England tried to ease concerns about the end of its emergency bond-buying program. 

UK markets were thrown into turmoil in late September after the government unveiled a plan to cut taxes and increase borrowing. 

The pound plunged and the Bank of England was forced to intervene to shore up the bond market. 

The Bank of England said it was prepared to buy up to 10 billion pounds ($11.07 billion) of British government bonds on Monday, 10 October 2022, double the previous limit. 

The central bank has also created a new program to help make cash more readily available to banks. 

Despite this series of moves by the Bank of England, GBP/USD slipped for the fourth consecutive session, closing down 0.28% at 1.1054 on Monday, 10 October 2022, though still well above the all-time low of 1.0356 touched on 26th Sep 2022.

Gold   

Fundamental Analysis:   

Gold prices fell more than 1% on Monday, 10 October 2022, as a rising dollar and consolidation of bets that the Federal Reserve will be aggressive in raising interest rates caused non-interest-bearing gold to hit a one-week low.  

Gold has fallen for a fourth straight session, possibly the worst stretch of movement since mid-August.
