The FOMC\u2019s October meeting minutes are set to be released during today\u2019s American session and could influence the greenback. The minutes may provide insight into the Fed\u2019s inner deliberations and the concerns that may have emerged in the prior meeting, which may also showcase the divisions within the Fed as to how they approached their prior monetary policy decision. Moreover, the minutes could set the tone for the markets as we head towards the last meeting of the year in the first weeks of December. Hence, should a prevailing hawkish sentiment emerge, it may provide support for the dollar and could increase market expectations of a Fed rate hold in their December meeting. On the other side, a dovish sentiment may have the opposite effect. In our view, we wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see policymakers being split on as to how they should have approached the bank\u2019s last decision, with heavy emphasis being placed on the state of the labour market.In the US Equities markets, all eyes will be on Nvidia\u2019s (#NVDA) earnings report later on today. Considering how Nvidia acts as a barometer for the tech industry and can be attributed much of the credit for technological advancements recently, their earnings report could make or break the US Equities markets. Specifically for the company\u2019s stock price and for the Nasdaq and S&P500 to gain, we would require the company\u2019s earnings to not only meet EPS and revenue expectations but to exceed them. Otherwise, a failure to meet expectations by the street could weigh on the company\u2019s stock price as well as the major indexes such as the S&P500, NASDAQ 100 and the Dow Jones 30.In the UK, the nation\u2019s headline CPI rate accelerated which may provide support for the Cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EUR\/USD appears to be moving in a sideways fashion after re-emerging above our 1.1560 (S1) support level. We opt for a sideways bias for the pair and supporting our case is the RSI indicator below our chart which currently registers a figure near 50, implying a neutral market sentiment. For our sideways bias to be maintained we would require the pair to remain confined between our 1.1560 (S1) support level and our 1.1685 (R1) resistance line. On the other hand, for a bullish outlook we would require a clear break above our 1.1685 (R1) resistance line with the next possible targets for the bulls being our 1.1815 (R2) resistance level. Lastly, for a bearish outlook we would require a clear break below our 1.1560 (S1) support line with the next possible target for the bears being our 1.1405 (S2) support level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

XAU\/USD appears to have resurfaced above our resistance turned to support at the 4045 (S1) level. We opt for a sideways bias for the precious metal\u2019s price and supporting our case is the RSI indicator below our chart which currently registers a figure near 50 implying a neutral market sentiment. For our sideways bias to be maintained we would require the commodity\u2019s price to remain confined between our 4045 (S1) support level and our 4145 (R1) resistance line. On the other hand, for a bullish outlook we would require a clear break above our 4145 (R1) resistance line with the next possible target for the bulls being our 4240 (R2) resistance level. Lastly, for a bearish outlook we would require a clear break below our 4045 (S1) support line with the next possible target for the bears being our 3980 (S2) support level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
