The Euro saw weak trading during Tuesday’s session, after hitting a four-week low in yesterday’s session. This decline in the Euro comes after Central Bank President Mario Draghi spoke yesterday before the European Parliament.
A rebound in selling pressures on the pair’s move would reinforce the previous bearish trend. Breaking below the near support levels at 1.1830 will consolidate the pair and open the door to test the 1.1790 levels. Only a return to above the 1.1860 resistance level would ease the selling pressure temporarily.

Gold
Gold prices rose yesterday to close at 1313.00 an ounce. This rise is due to the investors’ tendency to buy the precious metal as a safe haven, after the North Korean Foreign Minister said that the statements made by US President Donald Trump constitute a declaration of war.
Despite the recent highs in prices, the yellow metal might still have to break stability above the levels of resistance. A drop below the near 1309 support level would affect the recent uptrend and proceed to cause the market, sideways movement.
WTI Crude
Crude Oil Futures rose to their highest level in 2017 on Monday, up nearly 4%, closing above $52 a barrel. The uncertainty about the referendum in the Kurdistan Region helped add some political risks to Oil prices, while OPEC figures show a positive reflection on the rebalancing of Oil markets. Brent Crude prices soared to close above $59 a barrel.
And the resumption of buying back would strengthen the previous bullishness. The success of the pair in breaking the resistance levels close to 52.40, will strengthen the optimism and push the commodity to test prices upto 52.90 levels. However, a reversal of prices below the support level of 52.10 will temporarily ease the bias.
