Gold

Gold closed last week’s trading at nearly $3,240 after a downward corrective wave over the past two weeks.
This was driven by relative market calm following the suspension
of tariffs imposed by Donald Trump, which had previously caused high volatility.

The tariff implementation was postponed for 90 days, although the 10% tariff rate remains in effect.
Additionally, Beijing’s recent statements showing openness to dialogue with the U.S. on resolving the tariff crisis helped soothe the markets.

Gold is expected to continue its correction toward the next support level at $3,194,
which could serve as a launch point for a renewed bullish trend.

USDJPY

The USDJPY pair continued its upward correction last week, reaching 144.95, recovering from the sharp decline recently.

The yen is expected to lose some recent gains after the Bank of Japan kept interest rates unchanged.
Optimism about resolving the tariff dispute and positive U.S. economic data have contributed to this outlook.

If the price breaks above 146.00 and closes higher, the rally may extend toward 147.93.
However, if reversal candlesticks form near the 146.00 level, selling pressure may return,
pushing the pair back into a downward trend.

EURUSD

The EURUSD pair is trading around 1.1298. Despite the release of strong U.S. employment data
With the steady increase in the unemployment rate of 2%, the U.S. dollar remains
weak due to uncertainty surrounding future Fed policy decisions.

The pair has returned to an upward trend after retesting the role reversal zone around 1.1260,
suggesting continued bullish momentum ahead. The target of the previous peak is 1.1572.

A bearish scenario would emerge if the pair breaks below 1.1260 and closes lower,
potentially extending the decline toward the psychological support level at 1.1000.

Dow Jones

U.S. equity markets began showing signs of optimism last week,
With the Dow Jones Index rising by more than 500 points during Friday’s session
After the release of positive U.S. employment data
and President Donald Trump’s call for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates.

The index broke the 41,300 level, reinforcing the probability of continued bullish momentum toward 42,800,
particularly after absorbing the recent corrective dip, provided that trading holds above 40,730.
