Company
Trend
Range 56.83-63.11

EUR/USD
Trend
Range 1.0253-1.0922
EUR/USD is set to close February in the negative territory after four consecutive monthly gains. This may be attributed to the ‘US Dollar strength story. Commentary from the United States Federal Reserve has markets concerned that interest rates at 2% target in the world’s largest economy remain a distant prospect and that, indeed, borrowing costs are likely to head higher yet unless inflation rolls over. The US currency has reaped broad benefits from the view that its central bank has more ability and leeway to act against inflation. The Eurozone, meanwhile, has to contend with the differing needs of its twenty national economies some of which will find it hard to cope with even modest further rate rises.

Gold
Trend
Range 1,760 - 1,876
Strong US economic reports stoked fears that the Fed might maintain a restrictive monetary policy for longer than initially anticipated. As a result, the US Dollar surged close to a seven-week high while US treasury yields rallied on the verge of surpassing the 4% level. This exerted pressure on gold prices, causing them to tumble close to a two-month low. This correction has brought the bullion close to the 100-period moving average support of 1809 on the weekly chart. Sustained price action above this level could fuel a rebound in prices. Despite the “higher for longer” narrative, investors believe the period of aggressive tightening is behind us as the Fed is closer to reaching peak interest rates. Furthermore, the return of Chinese buyers amidst an uptick in Chinese activity could lend support to prices. Growing fears of recession could also drive investors toward the safe-haven metal.
