On an annual basis, CPI reached 3.0% and Core CPI hit 3.3%, both above expectations....
Nasdaq remains within the borders of its 2-year up-trending channel, and a break above 22,000–22,200 is needed to confirm the next rally toward 22,800–22,900. On the downside, tariff pressures and AI competition have led to temporary dips to 20,800. A firm close below 21,200 and 20,800, particularly below the 2-year channel boundaries, could extend losses toward...
Australian ASX 200 SPI futures remain a buy-on-dips play until the price action suggests otherwise, bouncing again off channel support on Tuesday, repeating the pattern seen numerous times over the past two months.

The objective yearly open is eyed at 1.2513 with the upper parallel of the September pitchfork further highlighting the technical significance of this zone.

A rebound from $28.80 lifted XAGUSD toward the 32.60 resistance, aligning with the lower border of the Oct 2023–Oct 2024 uptrend, supported by haven demand from Trump Tariffs & Trade Wars. Retracement risks are rising at the lower...
AUD/USD is testing minor support at .6262 following a failure to break the 50DMA. Whether it holds this level may determine which direction it takes later in the session. If the price can’t break .6262 convincingly, longs could be established above with a stop beneath for protection. The aim would be to see a retest of the 50DMA with a break of that level...
