In today’s outlook, let’s take a look at Forex Trading on USDCAD, WTI Crude Oil, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and NZDUSD.
And apologies for being a day late due to illness.
Finally, we are seeing some stability and optimism in US Politics which has USD looking stronger in the short term, especially against the COMDOLLS.
This is still a curiosity as the Fed are still talking about Interest Rate Cuts.
If we look at NZDUSD for example, we see price action at a key level of support so we need to see a break or a bounce.
The same is happening with USDCAD where price action is at resistance.
CAD is affected by WTI and since we spotted this symmetrical pennant a while ago, we have seen price action movement within the trend lines.
Look out for a break in either direction.
We also expect that the new enthusiasm and diminishing uncertainty will boost the stock markets.
All the US indices are behaving differently but, buying the dip on the Dow Jones Industrial Average might be a good technical trade.
On one hand, we have the Fed who want to lower interest rates, which is good for share prices, contrasted with Democrat policies which may not favor big business.
Let’s see.
Check back with us on Monday as we have a ton of important Economic Events to trade.
That’s all for now.

EUR/USD holds above 1.0400 in quiet trading
EUR/USD trades in positive territory above 1.0400 in the American session on Friday. The absence of fundamental drivers and thin trading conditions on the holiday-shortened week make it difficult for the pair to gather directional momentum.
GBP/USD recovers above 1.2550 following earlier decline
GBP/USD regains its traction and trades above 1.2550 after declining toward 1.2500 earlier in the day. Nevertheless, the cautious market mood limits the pair's upside as trading volumes remain low following the Christmas break.
Gold declines below $2,620, erases weekly gains
Gold edges lower in the second half of the day and trades below $2,620, looking to end the week marginally lower. Although the cautious market mood helps XAU/USD hold its ground, growing expectations for a less-dovish Fed policy outlook caps the pair's upside.
Bitcoin misses Santa rally even as on-chain metrics show signs of price recovery
Bitcoin (BTC) price hovers around $97,000 on Friday, erasing most of the gains from earlier this week, as the largest cryptocurrency missed the so-called Santa Claus rally, the increase in prices prior to and immediately following Christmas Day.
2025 outlook: What is next for developed economies and currencies?
As the door closes in 2024, and while the year feels like it has passed in the blink of an eye, a lot has happened. If I had to summarise it all in four words, it would be: ‘a year of surprises’.
