The economic activities in manufacturing sector continue to improve in German with Manufacturing PMI came marginally higher than expected, printed 64.4. A similar data came out on the other side of the pond, US ISM Manufacturing PMI ring to 61.2 from 60.7 in April, showing a steady recovery from the pandemic. <\/p>\n

XAUUSD (Daily Chart)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

After 2 mouth\u2019s uprise, XAUUSD seems to be blocked by a cap price out of nowhere. In nearly a week\u2019s consolidation, gold took 3 attenpts to break the $1910 resistence but failed, including the one yesterday, and it traded at $1902.79 as of writing. However, gold remains its uptrend and has backed by its 20-day SMA since mid-Apirl. The fundimentals are still in favor of gold: greanback is still weak, the reflation threat still haunt the whole market, and U.S. pace to recovery is still unclear. Gold may run up toward its upside tractions around $1930, further challenge the yearly top at $1960.<\/p>\n

The instant support for gold may be the psycholocial $1900, under that we have 10-day SMA level which is around $1890, followed by 20-day SMA\u2019s $1860.<\/p>\n

Resistance: 1910, 1930, 1960<\/p>\n

Support: 1900, 1894, 1867<\/p>\n

USDCAD (Daily Chart)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Loonie has again broken its record yesterday, once traded at 1.2005, its lowest level in nearly six years. The renewed bearish pressure may derive from the rising oil prices that capitalized the commodity-sensitive CAD, and the contunued weakness of the greenback also add fuel to the bears. Meanwhile, investors is looking forward to the NFP and Canada Unemployment Rate data released on Friday to provide further instructions. <\/p>\n

For a possible rebound, the instant resistence may be at 1.215 which has not been breached for two weeks, followed by 1.225, the past support level from February, 2018, and 1.237, the monthly low in March, 2021; however, if the downward trajectory continues, the last baricade for the loonie may be at 1.192, an ancient support from May, 2015.<\/p>\n

Resistance: 1.215, 1.225, 1.237<\/p>\n

Support: 1.20, 1.192<\/p>\n

EURUSD (Daily Chart)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

EURUSD has held a bullish tone since the beginning of April, coincided with the start of the greenback\u2019s fall. Recently, the dollar index lingered around its four-month lows, as the Fed\u2019s dovish reaction toward the emerging reflation. Last Thursday, despite Fed implies a tapering discussion at upcoming meetings, but with substantial progress unlikely to be achieved until late 2021, the US dollar continues to behave weaker even after President Joe Biden announced his fiscal 2022 budget, which should be a huge boost to bucks. Back to technical, EURUSD is traded at 1.2215 as of writing, with its upward trend challenged by the resistance level of 1.225. The MACD histogram shows a bull-bear fight, while RSI indicator has not reached the overbought territory, giving the pair more rooms to extend further north. An obvious support for the potential downturn may appear at 1.217, which has been tested several times last week, followed by 1.205, the period low after the Mother\u2019s Day. (U.S.)<\/p>\n

Resistance: 1.225, 1.235<\/p>\n
