It’s a BIG week of event risk heading into the close of October trade with the Bank of Japan (BOJ), Bank of Canada (BoC) and the FOMC interest rate decisions on tap. November trade opens with the release of US Non-Farm Payrolls and the stage is set for the US Dollar this week. Gold prices attempted to breach the monthly highs last week and the failure has us looking lower. In this webinar we review updated technical setups on DXY, TNX, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, USD/CAD, Gold(XAU/USD), SPX (S&P 500), USD/CHF, Crude Oil (WTI) and NZD/USD.

Gold– Gold prices tested and failed at the monthly opening-range highs last week – the risk is lower into the open of the week – look for a reaction at 1490 IF reached.
