1. Forex Market Insight    

EUR/USD  

Last night, the euro recovered almost all of its losses from the previous session, which was the euro’s biggest one-day percentage drop in two weeks. 

However, fears of a recession in Europe remain high as Russia further reduces gas supplies to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.

GBP Intraday Trend Analysis   

Fundamental Analysis：

The Bank of England is expected to raise interest rates, and GBP closed up 1.25% against the dollar on Wednesday, 27^th July 2022, at 1.2152. 

The U.K. energy regulator previously said that the U.K. energy price cap continued to rise in October and that U.K. inflation is likely to climb gradually to double digits in the next few months. 

This is expected to prompt the Bank of England to change its original cautious attitude towards rate hikes to aggressive, thereby boosting GBP.

2. Precious Metals Market Insight   

Gold   

Fundamental Analysis:   

The Federal Reserve announced early Thursday, 27^th July 2022,  morning that it would raise its target overnight rate by 75 basis points in an effort to drive down inflation, the highest since the 1980s, and hinted that it would “continue to raise” borrowing costs despite evidence that the economy is slowing. 

Fed Chairman Powell also said that the lack of clear visibility of the economy’s future trajectory means that the Fed can only provide reliable guidance on its policy direction on a “meeting-by-meeting” basis. 

The dollar retreated, enhancing gold’s appeal among overseas buyers, while U.S. Treasury yields also slipped. The Fed’s aggressive rate hike and the dollar’s recent rally have overshadowed gold’s appeal as a safe-haven, despite the recent risk of a recession.

3. Commodities Market Insight   

WTI Crude Oil   

Fundamental Analysis:

Oil prices closed up more than $2 on Wednesday, 27^th July 2022, as reports of lower U.S. inventories and reduced Russian gas deliveries to Europe offset concerns about weaker demand and a U.S. interest rate hike. 

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said U.S. crude oil inventories fell by 4.5 million barrels last week as exports surged to a record high as U.S. crude prices were well below international indicator Brent crude. 

U.S. gasoline demand rebounded 8.5 percent in one week after falling sharply in the past two weeks, the data showed.
