ทอง
The price of Gold (XAUUSD) increased at the start of the European session, reaching a daily high of US$ 2,997.28 per troy ounce. Gold had hit a peak of US$ 3,004 last week, marking its highest record ever before facing a correction.
Gold continues to receive positive sentiment from the expanding trade war risks and the economic slowdown in the United States. Thus, if tonight’s economic data from the US comes in lower than พยากรณ์, there is potential for Gold to gain additional positive momentum.
น้ำมัน
The price of Oil (CLS10) reversed its gains after reaching a daily high of US$ 68.35 per barrel. The rising price of Oil is attributed to escalating conflicts in the Middle East, as the United States continues its attacks on Houthi forces until they cease their assaults on shipping routes.
On another note, China has released more stimulus to invigorate its economy, which could potentially increase Oil demand. This positive sentiment is likely to influence Oil movements in tonight’s trading.
ยูโรUSD
EURUSD climbed at the beginning of the European session, reaching a daily high of 1.09042. The pair benefited from positive sentiment after the political party in the German parliament reached an agreement on fiscal reforms proposed by Friedrich Merz, who is soon to be appointed as Chancellor.
These fiscal reforms are expected to boost Germany’s economic growth and subsequently lift the European economy. This optimism is likely to affect EURUSD movements in tonight’s trading. If US data is released below the พยากรณ์, there exists a possibility for EURUSD to gain more positive momentum.
GBPUSD
GBPUSD also saw an upswing at the start of the European session, hitting a daily high of 1.29573. Compared to the Friday close, GBPUSD increased by 215 points (21.5 pips), inching closer to its highest level in the past four months.
The US dollar is currently facing pressure from the risk of an economic slowdown. Furthermore, last Friday’s data indicated declining consumer sentiment, which suggests increasing pessimism among consumers regarding the economic outlook.
Given this scenario, should tonight’s economic data from the US be lower than the พยากรณ์, it is likely that the US dollar will face additional pressure, serving as positive sentiment for GBPUSD.
USDJPY
USDJPY has retraced to 148.460 after earlier rising to 149.096 this morning. This movement indicates that the US dollar is under pressure. If US economic data is released lower than the พยากรณ์ tonight, the downward pressure on USDJPY may intensify.
แนสแด็ก
The Nasdaq index has been moving within a volatile range of 19,304 to 19,686 at the onset of the European trading session. The Nasdaq remains in the negative territory, primarily due to the widened risks from the trade war and the economic slowdown in the US; hence, if tonight’s economic data is worse than the พยากรณ์, the pressure is likely to increase significantly.
