Morning Snapshot — TR (Apex Trader)
Monday, March 30, 2026

Markets focus shifts to US yields and institutional debt signals. Gold stays strong on yield compression (<3.90%), while GBP remains weak despite positive retail data. Powell’s speech (17:30) is today’s key catalyst.

🇺🇸 DXY — Neutral
• Holding above 100.00, supported by geopolitical tension
• Falling yields limit upside → Powell to decide direction

🇪🇺 EUR/USD — Neutral
• €1bn option at 1.1550 acting as a magnet (NY Cut)
• CPI may push price there, but bearish bias remains post-cut

🇬🇧 GBP/USD — Bearish
• Strong retail sales failed to lift GBP → underlying weakness
• BoE cautious, economy still exposed to energy/military risks

🪙 Gold — Bullish
• Rising despite Brent drop → driven by lower US yields
• Debt restructuring narrative adds long-term bullish outlook

► Large expiries at 1.1500 and 1.1650 are keeping price contained until NY cut.
► Medium-term rate spreads still favor the euro, but limited intraday impact.
