1. Forex Market Insight
EUR/USD
Last week, the dollar recorded its biggest weekly percentage decline in two months.
That’s because a rally in stocks helped weaken the appeal of the safe-haven dollar, while a 50 basis point rate hike by the European Central Bank (ECB) helped boost the euro to a two-week high.
The Ifo business sentiment survey showed Monday, 25th July 2022, that German business confidence fell more than expected in July to the lowest in more than two years.

2. Precious Metals Market Insight
Gold
Fundamental Analysis:
Gold prices retraced earlier gains to fall on Monday, 25th July 2022, as U.S. Treasury yields rallied and the market braced for the Federal Reserve’s expected 75 basis point rate hike later this week.
The Federal Reserve is expected to raise its target overnight rate by another 75 basis points, rather than 100 basis points, at its July 26-27 meeting to curb stubbornly high inflation, according to a Reuters poll.
Meanwhile the likelihood of a recession in the coming year has risen to 40%. This is despite a falling dollar, which usually makes gold and silver more attractive to overseas buyers.

3. Commodities Market Insight
WTI Crude Oil
Fundamental Analysis:
Oil prices rose about $2 on Monday, 25th July 2022, helped by supply concerns and a falling dollar, but were in a sawing trend during the session, with some concerned that fuel demand could weaken if the Federal Reserve is too aggressive in raising U.S. interest rates.
The EU previously said it would allow Russian state-owned companies to ship oil to Libya’s national oil company said it aims to restore production to 1.2 million bpd from about 860,000 bpd within two weeks.
However, Libya’s output will remain volatile, with tensions remaining after clashes between rival political factions over the weekend.
