Spot Gold Climbs Slightly, U.S. Oil Rises More Than 4%


1. Forex Market Insight    

EUR/USD  

The euro has been the chief beneficiary of the dollar’s decline, but that momentum has also stalled. 

Expectations of a rate hike by the European Central Bank (ECB) have been largely reflected in the current exchange rate. 

EUR/USD rose 0.07% to $1.0730 on Friday, 27th Friday 2022. It hit a one-month high earlier in the day. 

EUR/USD rose 1.62% last week, the best weekly performance in nearly four months.  

If the market expects the Fed to continue raising interest rates after September, then EUR may struggle to rise further.  

Technical Analysis:

(EUR/USD 1-hour chart)  

We focus on the 1.0776-line today. If EUR runs steadily above the 1.0776-line, then pay attention to the support strength of the two positions of 1.0832 and 1.0890. If the strength of EUR breaks below the 1.0776-line, then pay attention to the suppression strength of the two positions of 1.0697 and 1.0662.   

GBP Intraday Trend Analysis   

Fundamental Analysis:

Recently, structural concerns such as an increase in the fiscal deficit, or the potential negative impact of windfall taxes on FDI, may offset the cyclical boost to GBP.  

GBP/USD rose slightly, but USD is essentially flat.

In fact, there were few exceptional movements in the main exchange rates of the pound. 

Money markets showed that market expectations for UK interest rates in a year’s time were actually slightly lower than before the statement was released.
