The Shutdown Ends: How Will Gold Prices React?


According to Reuters, the U.S. Senate on Monday approved a compromise deal to bring an end to the longest government shutdown in the country's history.

During the shutdown:
→ millions of Americans lost access to food assistance programmes;
→ hundreds of thousands of federal employees went without pay;
→ air travel was severely disrupted.

The uncertainty surrounding the potential continuation of the shutdown appears to have contributed to a breakout in the price of gold (as a traditional safe-haven asset) above its recent consolidation zone, marked by black lines on the chart.

However, further gains could be capped not only by fading risk aversion but also by a less obvious resistance level, which the XAU/USD rate has reached today.

Euro Strengthens Ahead of Inflation Data


The euro is edging higher after last week's pullback, as buyers hold the price near key levels in anticipation of fresh inflation data. Market participants are cautiously rebuilding long positions in the single currency, hoping for confirmation that price pressures in the region are stabilising.

The US dollar remains under moderate pressure following the release of weak labour market data and amid the ongoing government shutdown, which heightens uncertainty surrounding budget negotiations. Nevertheless, the dollar's fundamental position remains solid, supported by relatively robust business activity figures and expectations of fresh guidance from Federal Reserve officials.

Today, investors' attention will be focused on the release of inflation indicators from Germany and speeches by representatives of the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, including Isabel Schnabel and Luis de Guindos. The euro's further trajectory will depend on whether the market receives clear signals of a recovery in price pressures across the euro area.

Musk Could Earn a Trillion: How Are Tesla (TSLA) Shares Reacting?


According to media reports, earlier this month Tesla shareholders approved a new 10-year compensation package for Elon Musk worth up to $1 trillion. But is this good or bad news for TSLA shares?

→ On the plus side, Musk is now firmly "tied" to the company and highly motivated to achieve extraordinary goals — such as reaching a market capitalisation of $8.5 trillion and launching mass production of Optimus robots.

→ On the downside, the price of this decision could be high. The targets appear almost fantastical, and their achievement would mean dilution of existing shareholders' stakes through the issuance of new options.

As a result, Tesla's share price has been fluctuating, reflecting market indecision and consolidating after the news. A closer look at the TSLA chart offers clues as to what may happen next.

EUR/JPY Reaches Record High


As the chart shows, the pair climbed to a new all-time high of ¥179.80 per euro today.

The main driver has been the weakening of the Japanese yen, which continues amid fresh statements from government officials. According to Reuters:

→ Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said her administration prefers to keep interest rates low and called for close coordination with the Bank of Japan — a factor contributing to yen weakness.

→ Meanwhile, Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama issued a verbal warning about the yen's weakness, noting "one-sided and rapid moves" in the currency market. In theory, this should have supported the yen, but judging by today's USD/JPY movements, the impact was limited.

Meta Platforms (META) Shares Fall to Key Support


In November, Meta Platforms (META) shares have shown bearish momentum following the company's quarterly report, which included a one-off income tax expense of $15.93 billion (as previously noted).

Investor concerns have been further fuelled by the company's plans to raise capital expenditure to $70–72 billion in 2025, aimed at expanding data centre infrastructure and acquiring AI chips. However, after a decline of more than 20% from the autumn peak, bulls may soon attempt a comeback.

Pound Strengthens After Weak GDP Data as Markets Assess the Impact of the US Shutdown


The British pound posted a solid advance yesterday, despite UK GDP data coming in weaker than expected. The economy showed virtually no growth, underscoring persistent pressure on domestic demand and the manufacturing sector. However, the market appears to have used the release as an opportunity to cover short positions after a prolonged decline, which supported the pound in both major pairs.

Another factor behind the gains in GBP/JPY and GBP/USD may have been the end of the longest government shutdown in US history. The reopening of federal agencies removed some of the risks linked to delays in economic releases and uncertainty surrounding the budget process. Investors are assessing the consequences of the 43-day halt in US government operations, which has already shaved nearly 1.5 percentage points off GDP growth and created a significant gap in key macroeconomic data. Delayed employment and inflation reports are expected to begin appearing only by mid-November, and it will take longer for statistical accuracy to be fully restored.

Natural Gas Prices Hover Near a Three-Year High


As the XNG/USD chart shows today, natural gas prices are trading close to the March peak, which is the highest level since December 2022.

According to Trading Economics, the rise in gas prices has been driven by several factors:

→ Despite short-term warming in the US, weather models point to colder conditions ahead.

→ LNG exports remain elevated, as European buyers continue seeking alternatives to Russian gas. In November, average shipments across the eight major US terminals reached 17.8 billion cubic feet per day, exceeding the previous record of 16.7 billion in October.

→ The International Energy Agency expects global demand for oil and gas to continue rising until 2050, reflecting uncertainties surrounding the pace of the energy transition.

At the same time, chart analysis suggests that the upside potential may be limited.

Coinbase (COIN) Shares Fall Amid Bitcoin Weakness


The Coinbase Global (COIN) chart shows that the cryptocurrency exchange's share price has dropped below:
→ the psychological $300 level,
→ the previous November low.

Bearish sentiment is largely linked to Bitcoin slipping below a key psychological threshold — as noted earlier this week, the market has seen widespread selling by long-term holders of the leading cryptocurrency.

Meanwhile, the overall share price picture is increasingly concerning.

Ahead of Nvidia's (NVDA) Earnings: How the Price Could Move


On Wednesday, after the close of the main US trading session, Nvidia will release its quarterly results — a report seen not merely as another batch of corporate data but as a crucial test for the entire AI-driven bull run.

NVDA shares are up more than 40% since the start of the year, and the company must now prove that this surge is justified and that the AI revolution is still accelerating. According to media reports, Wall Street analysts remain optimistic:

→ Revenue: forecast around $54.9bn, implying roughly 56% year-on-year growth.
→ Earnings per share (EPS): about $1.25 (previous quarter: $1.05).

What should investors focus on?
Of particular importance will be:
→ data on Data Centre revenue, a key indicator of whether the AI boom remains intact;
→ forward guidance, as the market is looking for reassurance that Big Tech will continue to spend heavily on AI.
