In today’s GCI Market Outlook let’s take a look at Forex Trading on Gold, XAUUSD, EURUSD, EURGBP, and Brent Crude Oil.
If we look at Brent Crude from the technical standpoint we see that price action is slightly bullish and may be forming a double bottom.
The reason for this rise is based on possible supply issues and we will watch to see if price breaks the neckline.
However, geopolitical events may take precedence over technicals with the uncertain situation between Ukraine and Russia.
Watch this space!
We can see from the charts that EUR is the weakest currency right now falling against all others.
The ECB lowered Interest Rates at the end of January and uncertainty over Ukraine is stalling growth.
We will be watching this week’s PMIs to get a better view of the economy.
Also, the US and the UK will have PMIs tomorrow.
We are seeing strength in GBP as inflation came in higher than expected, especially against EUR.
If we zoom out to lower time frames, we see an ascending triangle and a stochastic oscillator overbought and turning down.
Gold keeps on going higher and we are now at $2,942. Again, political uncertainty and central bank purchases have supported this level. Meanwhile, we will watch MACD for a hint of any bearish technical signals.

Gold trades near record-high, stays within a touching distance of $3,100
Gold clings to daily gains and trades near the record-high it set above $3,080 earlier in the day. Although the data from the US showed that core PCE inflation rose at a stronger pace than expected in February, it failed to boost the USD.
EUR/USD turns positive above 1.0800
The loss of momentum in the US Dollar allows some recovery in the risk-associated universe on Friday, encouraging EUR/USD to regain the 1.0800 barrier and beyond, or daily tops.
GBP/USD picks up pace and retests 1.2960
GBP/USD now capitalises on the Greenback's knee-jerk and advances to the area of daily peaks in the 1.2960-1.2970 band, helped at the same time by auspicious results from UK Retail Sales.
Donald Trump’s tariff policies set to increase market uncertainty and risk-off sentiment
US President Donald Trump’s tariff policies are expected to escalate market uncertainty and risk-off sentiment, with the Kobeissi Letter’s post on X this week cautioning that while markets may view the April 2 tariffs as the "end of uncertainty," it anticipates increased volatility.
US: Trump's 'Liberation day' – What to expect?
Trump has so far enacted tariff changes that have lifted the trade-weighted average tariff rate on all US imports by around 5.5-6.0%-points. While re-rerouting of trade will decrease the effectiveness of tariffs over time, the current level is already close to the highest since the second world war.
