If you follow what is Bobby saying about it, you will see that he is not using 4h charts or any smaller time frames for DAX, Gold and such…it is very difficult to figure out intraday moves on those
Adam if DAX doesn’t go above 22.860, next move will be down…you have to wait on 4h to see the pattern forming and then go with it…not placing yourself in front of the speeding train 😀
XAU/USD: Gold Sits Steady Above $2,900 as Focus Shifts to Looming Inflation Data
Key points:
·        Gold prices hug flatline
·        Inflation report looms
·        Where are rates going?
Gold prices XAUUSD held steady around $2,915 per ounce Wednesday morning with traders getting ready to be hit by the latest inflation report out of the US. Gold bugs can’t complain — their shiny stuff is doing numbers on the chart and the upcoming inflation data could stir things up even more.
The consumer price index USCPI dropping today is expected to show prices increased 2.9% in February. Oddly, analysts expect to see a pullback as January’s inflation pace was 3.0%.
If inflation turns out to be higher than expected, then the Fed might reassess its plans of cutting borrowing costs. Some analysts go as far as to predict that inflation could soar so much the Fed could be prompted to hike interest rates.
Rates staying where they are or even possibly moving higher could be detrimental to gold, because it’s a non-yielding asset and it may lose its appeal as a safe-haven in a market environment of higher interest rates.
ECB Facing ‘Exceptionally High’ Levels of Uncertainty, Lagarde Says
The European Central Bank is confronting a new, more volatile world in which it must combine agility in responding to shocks with clarity in outlining how it is likely to react to a range of possible outcomes, President Christine Lagarde said Wednesday.
Much of that new volatility was traceable to U.S. President Trump’s administration.
“Established certainties about the international order have been upended,” she said. “We have seen political decisions that would have been unthinkable only a few months ago. Our expectations have indeed been swept aside in the last few years, and in the last few weeks in particular.”
