Middle – East ceasefire
The ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon is currently in force after more than a year of fighting between the two countries. The current deal has been brokered by the US and armed conflict had been ongoing until it had entered into effect. This might be a reason why also Gold prices had lost some steam on Monday this week. Oil markets are also losing some steam with potential further negative momentum ahead.
Market talk
Most currencies continue trading higher against the Greenback today. Yesterday, markets remained shaky but it looks like the Dollar- index might also lead the way towards lower prices. As it’s losing steam in particular the EUR is heading up higher. Also crypto markets might start some positive momentum yet they need to break out of the current sideways pattern in general. In particular the psychological resistance area of USD 100.000 for Bitcoin might add negative momentum moving forward.
