Fed’s Powell, Williams: Override the Models, Cut Rates and Do it Swiftly
Powell and Williams are on the same page. They both see the need for a rate cut at the end of July, and they both feel the Fed has to act quickly to support and attempt to steer the economy in the right direction. Their comments last week also indicate that they are both willing to override the models.

Rate Cuts Move Gold, Bullish Crude Specs Bail, Low Demand Pressures Nat Gas
Gold remained underpinned by expectations of a 25-basis point rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve, and capped by low expectations of a 50-basis point rate cut by central bank policymakers. The speculative buying in crude oil came to a screeching halt last week when the U.S. announced that Iran was willing to talk about its nuclear program. The problem for bullish natural gas traders is the heat is moving too quickly to feed lingering periods of high demand.

Gold Price Futures (GC) Technical Analysis – Euro Will Exert Biggest Influence on Direction
The price action the last two sessions means that investors should look for heightened volatility from now until the Fed’s interest rate decision on July 31. The market should be especially sensitive to the ECB decision on July 25. If they are extremely aggressive then the Euro could plunge, the dollar index could spike higher and gold prices could tumble.

USD/JPY Weekly Price Forecast – US dollar chops around against Japanese yen for the week
The US dollar went back and forth against the Japanese yen during the trading week, dancing around the ¥108 level. By forming a neutral candle stick, this shows that the market really doesn’t know where we are going next.

GBP/USD Weekly Price Forecast – British pound showing signs of resiliency
The British pound broke down during the course of the week, slicing through the 1.25 level underneath. That’s an area that shows a lot of support, and therefore it’s likely that we have a fight on our hands. Overall, the hammer that we formed is a bullish sign.

GBP/USD Price Forecast – British pound pulls back
The British pound pulled back again during the trading session on Friday, reaching down towards the 1.25 level which of course is a large, round, psychologically significant figure. While this pullback after a very bullish candle stick on Thursday would typically be a sign to start picking up value, I a bit hesitant when it comes to the British pound.

GBP/JPY Price Forecast – British pound rallies against Japanese yen on Friday
The British pound rallied a bit during the trading session on Friday, reaching towards the ¥135 level. This is an area that was previous support, and now it is asking questions as to whether or not it’s going to be resistance. I must say that the candlestick looks good, but longer-term, this is a pair that could struggle.

EUR/USD Price Forecast – Euro falls again in choppy week
The Euro has fallen again during the trading session on Friday, as we continue to see significant resistance at the 1.13 handle. However, this is a market that also has significant support, so at this point in time I feel that we are simply floundering, looking for direction.

AUD/USD Price Forecast – Australian dollar pulls back to major support
The Australian dollar had originally broken out of major resistance during the trading session on Thursday, and on Friday pulled back a bit from those extreme highs based upon the daily candle stick on Thursday. That of course is typical, because we had pierced major resistance, so it should now be major support.
