Gold

Gold closed last week around 2,746, consolidating between 2,713 and 2,760.
The support above 2,742 suggests potential upward movement targeting 2,758,
especially with significant market news expected this week that could support rising gold prices.

Oil

Oil dropped sharply this week, trading at 68.53 amid reduced geopolitical risks
and ongoing Chinese economic struggles, affecting demand.
The decline may continue toward the demand zone between 65.2 and 66.3,
with possible corrective rebounds; a further drop below 65.2 could extend to 63.

USDJPY

The pair continues upward due to the strong USD and weak JPY after Japan’s inflation dropped to 2.5%,
complicating the Bank of Japan’s rate hike plans.
Trading near 152.30, the pair may continue rising to target 155.22,
which might see a downward correction to retest 149.26.

EURUSD

Trading around 1.0793 after briefly dipping below 1.0781,
EURUSD regained ground, supporting a correction to 1.0883.
However, positive USD news this week could lead to a reversal toward the 1.0781 level.
