Market Recap<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

XAUUSD 
XAUUSD ended the session at 4651.17, down 41.01 points or 0.874% from the 4692.18 open. It posted the day\u2019s high at 4718.79 at 10:36 and the low at 4644.38 at 23:39, a 5\u2011day trough, with the 23:57 close 6.8 points above that low. The intraday range measured 74.41 points, equivalent to 1.59% of the opening price. Trading unfolded on both sides of the 4700 handle: an early advance took price through 4700 into the late\u2011morning high, then it moved back below 4700 and extended lower into late trade. By the close, the market sat near the bottom of the day\u2019s span and below the nearest 100\u2011handle of 4700. On the H1 timeframe, the 21\u2011period EMA stood at 4681.77, with the settlement below that reference. The H4 RSI(14) registered 40.29. On the daily backdrop, spot remained above the lower Bollinger band at 4517.3. Intraday structure showed the peak forming late morning, followed by a sequence of lower highs and lower lows into the final hour when the new session trough printed. The day concluded within a 74\u2011point span after breaching 4700 and closing near the session low. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

USDJPY\u00a0
USDJPY\u00a0advanced over the session, settling at 158.31 for a gain of 0.48 (+0.30%) after a 1.14 range (0.72% of the open). It opened at 157.83, traded lower into the afternoon to the session low of 157.27 at 16:45, then recovered through the 158.00 figure and printed the high at 158.41 at 23:44, closing near the top of the\u00a0day\u2019s\u00a0range. The intraday path featured a lower trough well above 157.00 and a late push that left the close\u00a0close\u00a0to the high, with 158.00 acting as a notable round level reclaimed before the final hour. The session was flagged as registering new 5\u2011 and 10\u2011day highs, while the 5\u2011day low reference stands at\u00a0156.45. On the daily backdrop, price finished above the Bollinger midline at 158.22, placing the close marginally north of that center band. On H4, the MACD line at 0.29 remained above its signal at 0.24,\u00a0indicating\u00a0a positive alignment on that\u00a0timeframe\u00a0without divergence detail. The day\u2019s high sat just beneath recent reference levels while the\u00a0range\u00a0expansion was moderate\u00a0relative\u00a0to the open, and the late-session mark-up kept the closing print in the upper end of the distribution. From a multi\u2011day perspective, the session\u2019s upper print aligns with the flagged 5\u2011 and 10\u2011day highs, while the distance from the 5\u2011day low at 156.45 underscored the week\u2019s upward skew within the recent band.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economic Calendar Recap & Preview<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. releases dominated a light docket:\u00a0initial\u00a0jobless claims rose to 211,000 from 200,000, exceeding the 209,000\u00a0consensus, while retail sales advanced 0.5 percent month over month, a clear deceleration from the prior 1.7 percent and below the 1.2 percent forecast.\u00a0Looking ahead, the next 24 hours\u00a0feature New Zealand\u2019s\u00a0BusinessNZ\u00a0Manufacturing Index at 01:30 server time; after 53.2 previously, economists look for a pullback to 48.7. A reading below 50\u00a0indicates\u00a0contraction in factory activity. No\u00a0additional\u00a0data prints of note are slated in this window, and the calendar is otherwise thin on set-piece events, though headlines could still influence sentiment. Given the early Asia release time and typically lighter liquidity, NZD pairs can see outsized moves around the index print.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
