Note
Markets are betting the FED will raise interest rates once by 0.25% in November, which has helped the dollar stabilize its position.Today, the Japanese Yen fell below 149 degrees, the lowest since October 2022, the US Treasury Secretary said that the situation is extremely urgent. Will BOJ intervene in this price range?
Note
Gold price fell to the psychological support zone of 1900 with a rather weak momentum. The downtrend still exists but this is not a price area that can be sold to chase.1900 is strong support, the price has rebounded very strongly here. This can be seen as a major obstacle for sellers. If successfully broken the target will be 1885
