  • In FX, EURUSD remains below recent highs and the outlook is bearish. The move lower on Oct 29 - a bearish engulfing candle - highlights a failure to clear the 50-day EMA and means the bear channel top at 1.1686 today, remains intact. The channel is drawn off the Jun 1 high. The focus is on 1.1524, Oct 12 low and bear trigger. GBPUSD is softer. A deeper pullback would open 1.3544, the Oct 6 low and highlight a potential resumption of the downtrend. USDJPY remains below recent highs but above support at 113.42-00, the 20-day EMA and Oct 12 low respectively. A break would signal scope for a deeper pullback. The trend for now remains up.
  • On the commodity front, Gold traded lower yesterday and breached $1772.0, the Oct 29 low. The break lower highlights a developing bearish risk and exposes support at $1760.4, Oct 18 low that was also probed. A clear break of this level would signal scope for a pullback towards $1721.7, Sep 29 low. Yesterday's sell-off in WTI resulted in a breach of $80.58, Oct 28 low and the contract cleared the 20-day EMA. This has opened the 50-day EMA at $77.10.
