AUD/USD and NZD/USD Fundamental Weekly Forecast – Traders Will Be Watching Outcome of US-China Trade Talks
The Aussie and Kiwi moved higher off their multi-year lows late in the week. Profit taking following a sell-off in risk currencies amid deteriorating risk sentiment helped underpin the Forex pairs. With the major fundamentals still bearish, any gains are likely to be limited this week. Nonetheless, improved risk appetite in reaction to stabilization in Turkey and a positive outcome from the trade talks between the U.S. and China, could underpin prices at times.

Price of Gold Fundamental Weekly Forecast – Direction Could Be Influenced by Central Bankers’ Remarks at Jackson Hole Symposium
Gold futures finished lower last week after spiking to its lowest level since the week-ending December 23, 2016. The catalyst behind the selling pressure was a stronger U.S. Dollar which surged to its highest level since the week-ending May 19, 2017. The rally in the dollar was fueled by a sell-off in emerging market currencies which was triggered by a collapse in the Turkish Lira.

Renewed Trade Talks, Easing of Contagion Fears Soften Dollar’s Bullish Performance
Primarily driving the price action early in the week was risk aversion with fears of Turkish contagion weighing on risky assets. Heading into the week-end, investors also appeared more optimistic that next week’s lower-level trade talks between China and the United States offer some hope that the two countries will find a way to head off a full-blown trade war. Australia’s jobs report missed expectations in July. The Dollar/Yen struggled all week to reverse its two-week decline, with lower Treasury yields and aversion to risk continuing to drive investors into the Japanese Yen.

Gold Weekly Price Forecast – Gold markets break down
Gold markets broke down below a major support level during the week, slicing through the $1200 level like it wasn’t even there. This was mainly due to the US dollar strengthening as people began to find themselves concerned about the Turkish lira. Because of this, the natural proclivity of gold to be inverse of the US dollar came into play.

USD/JPY Weekly Price Forecast – US dollar mixed against Japanese yen

GBP/USD Weekly Price Forecast – British pound tries to stabilize
The British pound has been rather volatile during the week, but when looked upon on the weekly chart, you could say that this week has been a bit of a victory. I direct your eyes to the month of May in 2017, when we formed several hammers at this level. The fact that we formed an indecisive candle for the week is a ray of hope in what is an otherwise bleak market.

EUR/USD Weekly Price Forecast – Euro hanging on for dear life
The Euro fell during most of the week but bounced enough towards the end of it to turn around and show signs of life. The hammer is right at the very bottom of the overall support range, and I think that perhaps people are starting to look beyond the whole Turkish situation.
