Gold (XAU) Needs to Support to Hold
The sell-off on gold continues with the precious metal down around $30 in less than a week. Gold is under pressure from a resurgent US dollar, buoyed by last Fridays Uni of Michigan data which smashed expectations and hit a multi-year high. The important 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $1,287/oz. failed to provide any support when broken last week, while the $1,287 - $1,281/oz. zone made up of old horizontal support is being tested now. A clear break and close below opens the way to the recent double bottom around $1,266/oz. which is currently being guarded by the 200-day moving average at $1,268.6/oz. Below here the 50% Fibonacci retracement level at $1,262/oz heaves into view.

Silver (XAG) Nears a Fresh Six-Month Low
Another precious metal under heavy selling pressure. Silver is now at levels last seen in early December last year and is over 11% lower since making its recent high of $16.21/oz. in late February. The downtrend since the late-February high continues to be respected and it is possible that silver completely retraces all the way back down to the November 14 low at $13.89/oz. Psychological support at $14.00/oz. may slow the decline, while the CCI indicator shows that the market is extremely oversold.

Wall Street Rally on Soft CPI
The most anticipated economic indicator of the week, the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI), was released yesterday, coming in at 2.9%, below the 3% threshold and in line with the Producer Price Index (PPI) data from the previous day. This further sign of easing inflationary pressure in the U.S. has heightened expectations that the Federal Reserve may implement its first rate cut in September.
Wall Street Advances Ahead of CPI
The equity markets continued their upward momentum, driven by the easing of the Japanese Yen's strength. The Yen was pressured by a dovish tone from Japanese authorities, signalling that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) might keep its monetary policy unchanged amid rising global economic uncertainties.
Nasdaq Bullish, Encourage by Upbeat U.S. Job Data
The financial markets reacted positively to the upbeat Initial Jobless Claims data released yesterday, which came in at 233k, lower than market expectations. This eased concerns about a weakening labour market and the heightened recession risks that emerged after last Friday's disappointing NFP report. Wall Street benefited from the improved risk appetite, with the Nasdaq leading gains, surging by over 400 points in the last session.
Japanese Yen Eases on BoJ Dovish Statement
The Japanese Yen eased on Wednesday morning after the BoJ Deputy Governor indicated that the Japanese central bank would not raise interest rates if global markets remained unstable. This statement has calmed the market and unwound concerns about Yen carry trades. Meanwhile, the dollar has regained strength, with the dollar index (DXY) climbing above the $103 mark.
