1. Forex Market Insight  

The EUR/USD has increased 0.11% to 1.1027, having weakened over the past month as energy prices rose along with the escalated conflict in Ukraine.    

ECB President Christine Lagarde said on Monday that the actions of the Federal Reserve and the ECB will be out of sync because the effects of the Ukraine war on their respective economies are very different. 

But the ECB Governing Council member and French central bank governor Villeroy de Gallo said yesterday that the central bank needs to see through the short-term fluctuations in energy prices and pay attention to potential inflation trends. 

Technical Analysis:

Execution Insight:   

Today we focused on the 1.1055 line. If the euro runs steadily below the 1.1055-line, then pay attention to the support strength of the two positions of 1.0986 and 1.0940. If the strength of the euro breaks above the 1.1055-line, then pay attention to the suppression strength of the two positions of 1.1096 and 1.1143. 

GBP Intraday Trend Analysis   

GBP/USD rose 0.73% to 1.3261, with gilt yields higher.  

Meanwhile, the focus of the day is the UK chancellor’s budget statement and Wednesday’s, 23rd March 2022, inflation figures.

2. Precious Metals Market Insight   

Gold   

Fundamental Analysis:

Gold fell yesterday. Spot gold once fell more than 1%, which refreshed a low of nearly four trading days to $1910.60 per ounce. At the same time, the U.S. Treasury yields rose after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell made hawkish comments on monetary policy.  

Technical Analysis:   

(Gold 1-hour chart)   

Trading Strategies:   

Gold pays attention to the 1919-line today. If the gold price runs steadily above the 1919-line, then it will pay attention to the suppression of the 1929 and 1948 positions. If the gold price breaks below the 1919-line, it will open up further downside. At that time, we will pay attention to the support strength of the two positions of 1909 and 1896.  

3. Commodities Market Insight   

WTI Crude Oil

Oil prices fell in shock yesterday, with U.S. crude down more than 1% to $108.75 per barrel in late trade. This is due to the European Union discussed whether to ban Russian crude imports, but some major members remained opposed.   

Technical Analysis:
