As the week begins, we note that the USD ended last week in the greens, while fundamentals continue to lead the way for the markets. The US Government shutdown continues to keep the markets in the dark as the release of key US financial releases is being delayed. In the FX market the release from Australia of RBA\u2019s interest rate decision is expected to gather some attention in tomorrow\u2019s Asian session. After the acceleration of the Australia\u2019s CPI rates for September and Q3, market expectations for the bank to deliver a rate cut have been erased and the bank is currently widely expected to remain on hold. AUD OIS imply that the bank is also expected to remain on hold until Spring next year and proceed then with a rate cut. Hence, market attention may shift towards the bank\u2019s forward guidance. For the time being, we expect the bank\u2019s forward guidance to imply that any easing of its monetary policy is to be delayed, which could be supportive for the Aussie. On the flip side a possible dovish tone in the bank\u2019s forward guidance may force the market to readjust its expectations, as it would be taken by surprise, and thus weigh considerably on the Aussie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AUD\/USD remained relatively stable on Friday and in today\u2019s Asian session, well between the 0.6620 (R1) resistance line and the 0.6375 (S1) support level. We maintain a bias for the pair\u2019s sideways motion within the corridor set by the prementioned levels to be continued. Supporting our opinion are the Bollinger bands are narrow and converging slightly implying lower volatility for the pair and the RSI indicator which remains at the reading of 50 implying a rather indecisive market for the pair\u2019s direction. Yet RBA\u2019s interest rate decision could alter AUD\/USD\u2019s direction. Should the bulls take over, we may see the pair breaking the 0.6620 (R1) resistance line and start aiming for the 0.6940 (R2) resistance level. Should the bears be in charge, we may see the pair breaking the 0.6375 (S1) support line and start aiming for the 0.6130 (S2) support base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also on a technical level, we note that gold\u2019s price hit a ceiling on Friday at the 4025 (R1) resistance line, yet the precious metal\u2019s price is took another swing at the R1 in today\u2019s Asian session. For the time being, the RSI indicator remains near the reading of 50, implying an indecisive and probably unprepared market for another intense bullish movement of golds price. For a bullish outlook to emerge, we would require gold\u2019s price to clearly break the R1 with the next possible target for the bulls being the 4185 (R2) resistance barrier. For a bearish outlook to be adopted we would require gold\u2019s price to break the 3880 (S1) support line and thus pave the way for the 3710 (S2) support level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
