Gold Price Forecast: XAUUSD surge towards $2,000 on a break above $1,900 – ANZ

 


Gold has been in the range of $1,800-1,850 since mid-May. Strategists at ANZ Bank expect the yellow metal to confirm an upside move on a break past $1,900.

XAUUSD is consolidating, the range looks indecisive

“The current price range of $1,800-1,900 will not provide any clear direction until prices break either side of the range.”

“A convincing break of above $1,900, which is also a trend break-out, will be required before a short-term bullish outlook can be called. Once this level breaks, prices could touch the previous highs of $1,950 and $2,000.”

“Key supports are at $1,800 and $1,760.”

When is the Canadian monthly jobs report and how could it affect USD/CAD?

Image
  Canadian employment details overview Statistics Canada is scheduled to publish the monthly employment details for July later this Friday at 12:30 GMT. The Canadian economy is anticipated to have added 20K jobs during the reported month, up sharply from the 43.2K decline reported in June. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate is expected to edge higher to 5.0% in July from the 4.9% previous. Analysts at TD Securities (TDS) are more optimistic about the report and explain: “We look for job growth of 38k in July, driven by a partial rebound for trade services and natural resources after their sharp decline in June. Full-time hiring should lead the increase, while stronger labour force participation should keep unemployment stable at 4.9%. We also expect to see wage growth firm to 6.0% y/y in July, although AHE (Average Hourly Earnings) should slow on a m/m basis.”

EUR/USD Price Analysis: Range bound within 1.0100-1.0260 since July 22

Image
  The EUR/USD is set to finish the week almost flat, gaining 0.05%. The shared currency daily chart is neutral-to-downwards, but the hourly is neutral-to-upwards. EUR/USD Price Analysis: A daily close above 1.0200 could pave the way towards 1.0300; otherwise, it might drop towards 1.0096. The EUR/USD is trading at 1.0220, after hitting a daily high at 1.0254, but later tumbled towards the daily low at 1.0145 on elevated US inflation data. In June, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) rose by 6.8% YoY, fueling expectations of additional Federal Reserve rate hikes, despite the market's pricing in only 80 bps of tightening. EUR/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook From a daily chart perspective, the  EUR/USD remains  neutral-to-downward biased, helped by the 20-day EMA lying below the exchange rate at 1.0167. Nevertheless, the EUR/USD, unable to capitalize on an upbeat market mood, and broad US dollar weakness, keeps the shared currency exposed to further selling pressure. If
