Gold prices initially fell, then rebounded after Moody’s downgraded US credit rating due to budget deficits. Decline last week was driven by investor risk appetite amid progress in US-China negotiations. Weaker US economic data raises expectations of further interest rate cuts, benefiting gold. XAU/USD levels to watch: support at $3,160, resistance at $3,250.
Euro declined against USD due to ECB’s decision not to cut base rate despite economic challenges. ECB President noted euro’s rise against USD reflects loss of confidence in US policies. EUR/USD levels to watch: support at 1.11000, resistance at 1.12500.
