1. Forex Market Insight  

EUR/USD 

The euro fell by 0.74% to 1.0853 against the dollar, coming off an intraday low of 1.0805 driven by short-covering.

The European officials are divided on whether to sanction Russian oil exports despite Europe’s quest to reduce its dependence on Russian gas.

Technical Analysis:

(EUR/USD 1-hour chart) 

Execution Insight: 

Focus on the 1.0832-line today. If the euro runs steadily above the 1.0832-line, then pay attention to the suppression strength of the two positions of 1.0890 and 1.1031. If the strength of the euro breaks below the 1.0832-line, then pay attention to the support strength of the two positions of 1.0776 and 1.0697.

GBP Intraday Trend Analysis 

Fundamental Analysis: 

The market generally expects a sustained $20 rise in oil prices to reduce real economic growth in the U.K. by 0.6% and in the U.S. by 0.3%.

But in a more unfavorable scenario, if Russian gas shipments through Ukraine are cut, then the U.K.’s GDP could fall by as much as 1% due to just one factor, gas.

As a result, the pound fell by 1.02% against the dollar to 1.3102, the lowest level since November 2020.

Technical Analysis:

(GBP/USD 1-hour chart) 

Execution Insight: 

The pound is mainly focused on the 1.3104-line today. If the pound runs above the 1.3104-line, it will pay attention to the suppression strength of the two positions of 1.3186 and 1.3276. If the pound runs below the 1.3104-line, it will pay attention to the support strength of the 1.2991-line.

2. Precious Metals Market Insight

 

Gold 

Fundamental Analysis: 

Forecasts for 10-year inflation in U.S. and European bond markets rose to record highs, fueling fears of an inflationary shock to the global economy and boosting demand for gold as a store of value.

As a result, spot gold rose for three days in a row, hitting a new high since 19th August 2020 to $2002.5 per ounce.

Technical Analysis:

(Gold 1-hour chart) 

Trading Strategies: 

Gold is focused on the 2008-line today. If the gold price runs steadily below the 2008-line, then it will pay attention to the support strength of the two positions of 1981 and 1960. If the gold price exceeds the 2008-line, it will open up further upward trend. At that time, pay attention to the suppression strength of the 2036-line.

3. Commodities Market Insight 

WTI Crude Oil 

Fundamental Analysis: 

Oil prices jumped to their highest level since 2008 yesterday, 7th March 2022, as the U.S. and European allies considered banning oil imports from Russia.

Meanwhile, the prospect of a rapid return of Iranian crude to the global market appeared to have diminished.

Technical Analysis:
