MARKET OVERVIEW
Tariffs, Dollar Movements, and Forex Chart Patterns
As highlighted in our previous analysis, it is wise not to chase trends, even when confident about market reactions to a stronger dollar. The forex chart patterns suggest caution amidst fluctuating conditions.
The dollar showed weakness following U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to suspend tariffs on Mexico and Canada for 30 days. However, tariffs on Chinese goods are set to begin soon, which markets perceive as inflationary. This policy shift is critical for traders relying on breakout trading methods.
Commodities Insight
GOLD
GOLD prices remain elevated amid tariff concerns, reaching new historic highs. Market volatility driven by Trump’s unpredictable policies supports GOLD’s bullish trend. Algorithmic trading signals indicate continued upward momentum, with MACD and RSI confirming increased volume and volatility.
SILVER
SILVER’s advance has paused, correlating with GOLD’s slowdown. As GOLD becomes overbought, SILVER may attract more buyers. The MACD and RSI indicate rising market volume, supporting a bullish outlook aligned with diversified capital distribution strategies.
