Dow Jones forecast: Despite falling confidence stocks could hold up
Without a new bearish catalyst, ongoing trade optimism may keep the stock markets supported for a while yet. Our Dow Jones forecast remains mildly positive for now.
EUR/USD Forecast: Forex Friday – May 16, 2025
This US-China trade truce has only had a limited influence on the dollar, with the greenback held back by soft data. Against this backdrop, the EUR/USD forecast remains modestly positive in the near-term outlook.
Gold forecast: XAU/USD takes technical bounce but more pain likely near-term
With the recent improvement in risk appetite causing stocks to surge higher, haven demand for gold is not the same as before. The gold forecast is thus not as strong, and we may see a dip to around $3K before dip-buyers step back in.
S&P 500 forecast: Bulls take a breather, but trend stays intact
S&P 500 forecast remains bullish despite brief pullback, with US data dump in focus: retail sales, PPI, jobless claims among others. Tech stocks ease, but AI optimism means downside could be limited.
Nasdaq 100 Forecast: Can Bulls Sustain the Momentum?
Nasdaq 100 forecast supported by trade optimism and renewed boost in chipmakers, and no major bearish catalysts in play, this is allowing dip-buyers to dominate as technical signs point to new highs amid strong bullish momentum
FTSE 100 forecast: Technical Tuesday – May 13, 2025
FTSE 100 forecast mildly optimistic following trade truce-led rally; UK equities lifted by global risk sentiment as benchmark stock index tries to break out of short-term consolidation pattern.
Gold forecast: XAU/USD stages mild recovery ahead of CPI – but will it hold?
The gold forecast has taken a turn for the worse—at least in the near term. The US-China tariff truce sparked a risk-on rally across global markets on Monday, and while the dust hasn’t quite settled, today’s mild bounce in gold does little to shift the broader outlook.
Gold outlook: Trade truce pressures likely to keep XAU/USD under pressure for a while
The yellow metal slid over 3% as traders rotated out of defensive plays. But while the short-term gold outlook looks shaky, the longer-term case for the bulls hasn’t disappeared. It’s just taking a breather.
GBP/USD forecast: Currency Pair of the Week – May 12, 2025
It will be a busy week for the cable with key data from both sides of the pond to come. For the GBP/USD forecast to turn decisively negative, US dollar will now have to improve markedly to prevent the Fed from cutting rates meaningfully this year.
EUR/USD Weekly Forecast: US-China Trade Talks, US CPI could set the tone
If we hear more positive news regarding the US-China trade talks in the week ahead, then the current bullish EUR/USD forecast could be tested as the dollar potentially makes a comeback.
DAX forecast: German stocks hit new records on easing trade tensions, ECB optimism
With US-China trade tensions showing early signs of thawing and the ECB possibly stepping in to support growth, the DAX forecast is now firmly tilted to the upside. If macro conditions continue to improve and the ECB follows through with rate support, 24,000 could be the next step for the German index.
