Commodities and Precious Metals Report

by MF Global Research

Price Outlook

The gold market is likely to maintain its upward trend, as evidence is building that a super-spike is being made. The next upside resistance is at $1,350.00 from a Fibonacci extension. Support will continue to come from fear that monetary authorities are attempting to weaken their currencies, miner hedge unwinds, and the likelihood that central banks buy additional amounts of gold. These factors could keep the market on an upward path beyond the $1,350 level. Potential risk comes from the slightly downward trend in open interest, especially as prices test the $1,350 level. We favor continuing to trade the market as a positive affair up to $1,350.

Euro Currency Chart and Technical Analysis for Oct. 6th and 7th

Source: Js Services

FOREX EUR/USD ** BULL TREND EXTREME ** - Technically the MKT has produced a positive signal into the upper extreme and will need to hold structure if it is going to avoid a drop back into a digestive trade. On the SELL side UP FADE signals are valid but REVERSALS are a better option. Use resting profit limits and tight stops. DIR and DP BREAKOUT strategies are aggressive but do have the potential to profit from a quick negative move out of the extreme. Use tight position management as any unrealized profits can be erased quickly.

- On the BUY side accept DP FADE signals after confirmation. The MKT is extended and may search for stops before it resumes its Bull move. REVERSAL strategies are a better option. The sharper the break, the better for an entry with the expectations that the MKT is going to revisit the recent move high. BUY DIR and UP BREAKOUT strategies may need to be "worked" as the MKT is extended and has the potential to produce some starts and stops.
