📊 Gold retreats from its high
The gold (XAU) price failed to hold above the important $3,336 level yesterday. Some investors opted to secure profits and exit long positions before the extended weekend.
👉Possible effects for traders
Although a rally in XAUUSD seems to have paused, the pair remains in a very strong uptrend. The weak U.S. dollar (USD), escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China, and structural demand of global central banks continue to support the bullion. 'I think (gold) is quite overbought, and there's some profit taking at work... However, big dips in gold will be bought into because the landscape going into 2025 is still very uncertain', said Marex analyst Edward Meir. The tariff drama is still unfolding. Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a probe into potential tariffs on all critical mineral imports, in addition to reviews of pharmaceutical and chip imports.
At the same time, the U.S. is currently negotiating trade tariffs with several countries, and there is a possibility that a trade deal with Japan could be announced over the weekend. This may provoke a downward correction in gold. 'We remain bullish towards gold. That said, near-term corrections are likely to occur as tactical players take profits or perhaps experience margin calls triggered by another round of equity liquidations', said analysts at consultancy Metals Focus.
Today, the U.S. market is closed due to the Good Friday holiday. Volatility will also be low on Monday due to the Easter Monday holiday. Traders should keep an eye on any tariff-related news and developments around trade talks, specifically with Japan. Key levels to watch are resistance at $3,360 and support at $3,283.

📊 British pound reaches a highest level in seven month
On Monday, the British pound (GBP) appreciated by 0.7%, reaching 1.33855—the highest since 1 October. 'We've had a pretty impressive run of strength for most of the G10 currencies, and so I think we're just in a bit of a pause phase right now', said Eric Theoret, FX strategist at Scotiabank. 'Our medium-term view's still bearish for the U.S. dollar, so we're just seeing this as a bit of a consolidation', he added.
👉Possible effects for traders
Global trade tensions, particularly involving the U.S., China, and the eurozone, remain a key risk for GBPUSD. The U.K., as a trade-reliant economy, could face secondary impacts from any escalation in tariffs or supply chain disruptions. Meanwhile, any improvement in U.S.-China trade relations may reduce safe-haven flows, benefiting risk-sensitive currencies like the British pound.
The British pound also remains sensitive to domestic economic conditions. Recent data indicates that the U.K. economy faces challenges: slowing GDP growth, elevated inflationary pressures, and subdued consumer spending. Thus, the Bank of England (BoE) has adopted a cautious tone in its recent statements, signalling a potential pause or end of its rate-hiking cycle. Any signs of a dovish shift—especially in light of weakening economic growth—could weigh down on the pound in the medium term.
GBPUSD moved higher during the Asian and early European sessions. Although trading activity will be relatively subdued today, market participants should monitor any updates about global trade tariffs. A more balanced stance from the U.S. and China could trigger a sharp downside correction in GBPUSD. Furthermore, upcoming speeches from U.S. and Chinese officials later today may trigger additional volatility in USD-related currency pairs. Key technical levels to monitor include resistance at 1.34300 and support at 1.33000.

📊 Euro benefits from weakening U.S. dollar
The euro (EUR) surged by over 1% to above 1.15000 on Monday, setting a high last seen in 2022. It was buoyed by safe-haven demand amid global trade tensions and a weaker U.S. dollar (USD).
👉Possible effects for traders
Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered an investigation of the possibility of imposing new tariffs on all U.S. critical mineral imports. This marked a significant escalation in U.S. trade tensions with its partners, especially China. Thus, the U.S. dollar slipped towards a three-year low, making the euro more attractive for investors. Meanwhile, White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett stated on Friday that the Trump administration continues to explore the legal grounds for dismissing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. If Powell is removed from his position, it could have serious implications for the central bank's independence and global financial markets.
'Powell doesn't report directly to Trump, so Trump can't actually fire him. He can only be removed from office under certain procedures, which one would think have a higher barrier... But can the president move the cogs and wheels to undermine the perceived independence of the Fed? Sure, he could', said Vishnu Varathan, head of macro research for Asia ex-Japan at Mizuho. 'It's really a buffet for any U.S. dollar bear... from the heightened uncertainty around the self-harm from tariffs to the loss of faith even prior to the Powell news', Varathan added.
EURUSD rose during the Asian and early European trading sessions. While today's official macroeconomic calendar is light, traders should monitor any news regarding global trade tariffs. Further retaliation regarding tariffs from Chinese officials could trigger a significant upward rally in EURUSD. Key levels to watch are resistance at 1.15300 and support at 1.14000.

📊 Gold hits all-time highs as expectations of tariff war escalate
On Monday, China cautioned other countries against entering broader economic agreements with the U.S. that might come at Beijing's expense. U.S. President Donald Trump is pursuing a negotiation strategy as he seeks tariff reductions or exemptions from various countries. Due to trade tensions, the U.S. dollar slipped towards a three-year low, boosting gold's (XAU) appeal to investors holding other currencies. At the same time, Trump harshly criticised Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell last Thursday as Trump's team seeks the possibility of removing Powell from his position.
👉Possible effects for traders
On the geopolitical front, Russia and Ukraine accused each other of thousands of violations of the one-day Easter ceasefire declared by President Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin stated there were no plans to extend the temporary halt in frontline combat. 'Fundamentally, markets are pricing in heightened geopolitical risks, driven by U.S. tariff tensions and stagflation concerns, while resilient central bank demand offers an added tailwind for prices as well', said IG market strategist Yeap Jun Rong. 'The next potential milestone for gold could be around the $3,500 level, though positioning may appear crowded in the near term, and technical indicators suggest near-term overbought conditions', Rong added.
XAUUSD rose by 1.5% during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, the calendar is relatively uneventful due to Easter Monday. Still, traders should continue to monitor any developments around global trade tariffs. If the Trump administration's rhetoric continues to threaten China, XAUUSD will continue to climb towards new highs. Key levels to watch are resistance at $3,400 and support at $3,360.

📊 Australian dollar hits four-month high
The Australian dollar (AUD) rose by 0.27% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Monday. Increased safe-haven demand for the Aussie after U.S. President Donald Trump called for an interest rate cut supported the rise.
👉Possible effects for traders
By Thursday, the Aussie had eased slightly towards around 0.64300. AUDUSD continued a rally that began last week following the release of weaker-than-expected Australian labour market data. Although the unemployment rate remained steady at a low 4.1%, employment growth for March fell short of forecasts. This has strengthened expectations that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will lower interest rates at its May meeting. A 25-basis-point (bps) cut is widely anticipated. Still, some market participants are beginning to price in a more aggressive 50-bps reduction amid growing fears of a global economic slowdown driven by trade tensions.
During the Asian and early European trading sessions, AUDUSD maintained upward momentum. Traders should follow upcoming speeches from European Central Bank and Federal Reserve (Fed) officials. Key technical levels to watch are resistance at 0.64500 and support at 0.64000.

Markets will likely expect further interest rate cuts by the European Central Bank (ECB) as they believe a trade war with the U.S. will hit the eurozone economy. The ECB emphasised the worsening economic growth outlook due to trade tensions, which have caused 'exceptional uncertainty'. The regulator also removed a reference to interest rates as being 'restrictive' from its policy statement.
👉Possible effects for traders
Over the past week, we've seen a group of clients push their hedges out to the maximum available tenor as they look to lock in protection and ride out near-term instability,' said Eric Huttman, CEO of MillTechFX. The euro (EUR), which neared parity with the dollar in February, has now risen by over 10% since early March and reached 1.15400. The currency's strengthening is expected to reduce the cost of imports and ease inflationary pressures. A key measure of long-term inflation expectations—closely monitored by the ECB—now aligns with the bank's 2% target, down from 2.2% in March. The data suggests that inflation could dip below the target, potentially opening the door for further interest rate cuts.
EURUSD rose during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, the main focus is on the E.U. consumer confidence report at 2:00 p.m. UTC. Traders should also pay attention to the speeches of the ECB and Federal Reserve officials. Key levels for EURUSD to watch are resistance at 1.16000 and support at 1.14000.

📊 The record gold rally continues
With these costs trending so nicely downward, just what I predicted they would do, there can almost be no inflation, but there can be a SLOWING of the economy unless Mr Too Late, a major loser, lowers interest rates, NOW', U.S. President Donald Trump wrote about Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell on his social media platform, Truth. Trump's main goal is now to force a quick cut in interest rates to soften the effect of his tariff policies and reduce the negative impact on the economy and job market. Imposing import taxes on major trading partners has led to a drop in economic activity. After trade tariffs were introduced, the Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators fell by 0.7% in March, signalling a slowing economy.
👉Possible effects for traders
Investors have been giving a wide berth to U.S. assets amid tariff worries and Trump-Powell dramas, which has kept gold in prime position to capitalise on the dollar's woes', said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade. 'There remains a chance of a pullback given the rapid rate of gains on display so far this month. But there is reason to believe that buyers will be keen on gold should a pullback occur given that high economic uncertainty remains a prevailing market theme', he added.
XAUUSD rose by 2.00% during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Investors await more Powell's statements to get clues on the U.S. interest rate path and Fed plans. However, any news around trade tariffs will likely have a stronger effect than inflation statistics. Key levels to watch are resistance at $3,500 and support at $3,460.
