Price of Gold Fundamental Weekly Forecast – Stock Market Recovery Could Encourage Investors to Cut Long Gold Positions
Fresh economic data will be sparse next week so gold traders are likely to continue to respond to the movement in Treasury yields, the direction of the U.S. Dollar and stock market volatility. Gold could start to feel pressure if yields rise and the stock market remains steady. This will be a sign that investors have priced in a few of the Fed’s future rate hikes.

Silver Weekly Price Forecast – Silver holds steady for the week
Silver markets went back and forth during the week, forming a bit of a neutral candle. This is a good sign though, because we are trying to form a bit of a base in the silver market. Ultimately, I believe that we will break out, but it’s going to take a bit of grinding sideways before doing so.

EUR/USD Weekly Price Forecast – Euro looking for a bottom
The Euro is looking for a bottom on the longer-term charts, and as you can see on the accompanying chart, I have a yellow circle around the massive hammer underneath the 1.1450 level. That’s an area that I think continues to hold this market up, so this point I would expect a bit of a bounce.

EUR/USD Mid-Session Technical Analysis for October 19, 2018
Based on the early price action, the direction of the EUR/USD is likely to be determined by trader reaction to the main bottom at 1.1432. Holding above 1.1432 will indicate the presence of counter-trend buyers. If this can generate enough upside momentum then look for a rally into the resistance cluster at 1.1498 to 1.1502.

Gold Price Prediction – Gold Moves Higher Despite Robust Jobs Data
Gold prices moved higher on Thursday as US yields whipsawed initially moving higher following a stronger than expected jobless claims report. With claims close to a 59-year low, wages should begin to move higher which is why the Fed in its meeting minutes said that it was likely to move to restrictive monetary policy. With short-term policy still somewhat accommodative, its possible that short term rates rise to 3%, which is close where the 2-year yield is currently pricing. This could buoy the dollar and in turn put downward pressure on gold prices. Despite this scenario, yields moved lower, paving the way for higher gold prices.
