Read MoreAUD/USD Price Forecast – Australian dollar range bound
The Australian dollar continues to bounce around below the 0.7150 level, in somewhat range bound trading. The market looks very likely to continue in this area, at least until we get the next headline coming out about the US/China relations.
Read MoreEUR/USD Price Forecast – Euro continues to chop
The Euro rallied did run into a bit of steam over the last couple of days, but we are hanging about the 1.16 level, an area that obviously has a lot of importance attached to it due to the large, round, psychological significant number.
Read MoreGBP/JPY Price Forecast – British pound pulls back on Wednesday
The British pound pulled back a bit on Wednesday against the Japanese yen, but at this point there is still a lot of impulsive buying underneath. This should continue to provide a little bit of support, but keep in mind that this pair will be very noisy due to the Brexit negotiations.
Read MoreGBP/USD Price Forecast – British pound choppy and sideways on Wednesday
The British pound continues to hover around the 1.30 level on Wednesday, as we are sitting just below a major downtrend line. This downtrend line should be relatively important, but we did break above it briefly already.
Read MoreUSD/JPY Price Forecast – US dollar falls against yen
The US dollar fell against the Japanese yen during trading on Wednesday as several headlines came across the wires that got people nervous in general. The Japanese yen is the ultimate “safety currency”, so it makes sense that we saw this type of reaction.
Read MoreGold Price Forecast – Gold markets volatile for session on Wednesday
Gold markets chopped around during the day on Wednesday, showing signs of life as the US dollar got beat up a bit. However, I do see significant resistance above that could come into play, so therefore I’m not willing to throw a ton of money at this market.
Read MoreNatural Gas Price Forecast – natural gas markets extraordinarily volatile on Wednesday
The natural gas markets initially tried to rally during the day on Wednesday but gave back the gains to rollover midday. The market continues to be very difficult, and of course erratic.

Silver markets were sideways during Wednesday, after dipping on Tuesday to the $14 level. That is an area that is crucial, and as a result there will always be a lot of attention paid to that area.
Read MoreS&P 500 Price Forecast – talks of new China talks with the market
The S&P 500 was initially very negative during the trading session on Wednesday but got a surprise announcement that the United States and China were looking to extend talks going forward. This of course lifted the market, but it seems to have lifted it right into resistance. At this point, I think that the uptrend may continue, but we have some work to do.

Based on the early trade on Thursday, the direction of the December Comex Gold futures contract on Thursday will likely be determined by trader reaction to the uptrending Gann angle at $1205.10 and the Fibonacci level at $1215.10. Basically, you can use the retracement zone for direction. A sustained move over $1215.10 will indicate the buying is getting stronger, while a sustained move under $1205.90 will signal that the selling is getting stronger.

Read MoreAUD/USD and NZD/USD Fundamental Daily Forecast – Underpinned by Optimism Over US-China Talks
Optimism over a softening of U.S.-China relations is providing the fuel underpinning the Aussie and the Kiwi. However, the initial move is likely position-squaring, short-covering and profit-taking, following a prolonged move down in terms of price and time. It is going to take the end of the trade dispute to fuel a meaningful change in trend. Furthermore, the Australian employment news means nothing to the trend, but it does force investors to make position adjustments and that’s what we’re looking at today.

Read MoreUSD/JPY Fundamental Daily Forecast – Higher Yields Bullish, Lower Demand for Risky Assets Bearish
Yesterday’s price action strongly indicated that the Dollar/Yen relationship is being closely controlled by the direction of U.S. interest rates and trader aversion to risk. Any news that helps widen the spread between U.S. Government bond yields and Japanese Government bond yields will be bullish for the USD/JPY. Any news that sends investors out of risky assets will be bearish for the Dollar/Yen.

Read MorePrice of Gold Fundamental Daily Forecast – Strengthens Over $1215.10, Weakens Under $1205.90
Gold looks enticing because of the higher-top, higher-bottom chart pattern, but we don’t know for sure if real buying is driving the price action or short-covering. We may not know until Friday when the Commodity Futures Trading Commission releases its latest Commitment of Traders report. Obviously, the bulls would like to see a reduction in the current net short position built by the hedge funds and money managers.

Read MoreAustralian Dollar Jumps on Sharp Rise in Employment, No Surprises from the BoE and ECB, TRY Jumps as CBRT Increases Rates
Australia’s employment rose a strong 44.0K in August, more than reversing the modest 4.3K drop in July. U.S. producer prices unexpectedly fell in August with the weakness led by declines in the prices of food and a range of trade services. U.S. crude oil production fell by 100,000 bpd, to 10.9 million bpd, as the industry faces pipeline capacity constraints. According to the Federal Reserve’s latest Beige Book released late Wednesday, three of the Fed’s 12 districts – St. Louis, Philadelphia and Kansas City – reported weaker growth in August. Fed Governor Lael Brainard said in a speech on Wednesday that the Federal Reserve likely will continue gradual interest rate increases but will accelerate the pace if signs that financial imbalances continue to build.
