The market is preparing for an active week. Have a look at the trading instruments with the most interesting potential!
Trade ideas for the new week
EUR/USD
Is the uptrend slowing down after the euro’s attempt to break above 1.22? Looks like that! Friday will be the climax of the week with Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) and the speeches of European and American central bank governors. EUR/USD may slide to 1.2100.
AUD/USD
After New Zealand’s central bank sent NZD/USD flying, traders will expect no less from the Reserve Bank of Australia. The RBA will meet on Monday and Australian economic growth data will come out on Wednesday. A breakout in AUD/USD will lead it either to 0.7580 or to 0.7960.
Gold
The precious metal reached $1900 and made a natural pause. XAU/USD will remain in a short-term uptrend as long as the price is above $1880. It will be able to keep pushing higher if the US figures disappoint.
Oil
Brent oil is near the strong resistance of $70-$71. OPEC+ nations will meet on June 1. All eyes will be on the prospect of Iranian oil returning to the market and the group’s view on the demand for oil. Follow the news to grasp trade opportunities.
Virgin Galactic
This stock is at the center of the market’s attention. According to analysts, there may be a short squeeze, i.e. the rapid closing of sell trades. If so, the price will keep soaring toward 2021 high around $60.
