EURUSD set for “golden cross” despite pullback

The last time we saw a "golden cross"  for EURUSD was in late-2022, before this FX pair went on to claim a 3.12% annual gain for 2023. For the more immediate term, 3 key events this week could lead to big price swings for the world's most-traded FX pair.

Brent bulls raring to return above $80/bbl

The global oil benchmark is now teasing a psychologically-important level, having climbed in the wake of the Red Sea attacks and the Fed's policy pivot. Today's US PCE Deflator data release may well determine whether Brent spends Christmas above or below $80/bbl.

Gold edges higher past $2k ahead of US PCE Deflator

The incoming US PCE Deflator figures later today could trigger gold’s next move. As long as market bets for Fed rate cuts in 2024 can stay intact, that should pave the way for bullion bulls to send prices even higher.
