G10 Trades
Best trade opportunities are found in short USD and long anchor pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD and NZD/USD. Best cross pair trades are found within EUR/CAD and GBP/CAD.
CAD/CHF is the better trade to AUD/CHF and NZD/CHF. AUD/CHF is the better trade to NZD/CHF. Nothing exciting to EUR/AUD and GBP/AUD as both have been trading from the exact same position for each of the past 3 weeks.
XAU/EUR And XAU/USD
The difference between gold in euros and USD is the market number. XAU/EUR trades 1700’s while XAU/USD trades 1800’s. Both are the exact same instrument and trade the exact same as Gold is the driver.
While XAU/USD targets a solid line of resistance at 1888.53 and 1889.20, XAU/EUR targets higher at 1751.09 and 1798.17. XAU/EUR is the driver pair for the week and should outperform XAU/USD by a few points, but not much.
Silver priced in euros as XAG/EUR or USD as XAG/USD is not worth a view nor trade efforts.
