High Returns, Low Risk: Unveiling a Winning Investment StrategyI am pleased to introduce a robust long-term strategy that seamlessly combines performance with an enticing risk profile. This strategy involves strategically investing in ETFs indexed on the S&P 500 and ETFs backed by physical gold. Let's delve into the rationale behind selecting these two assets: S&P 500: 1. Automatic Diversification: Instant exposure to a diverse array of companies, mitigating the risk associated with the individual performance of a single stock. 2. Low Costs: ETF management fees are typically low, facilitating cost-effective diversification. 3. Liquidity: Traded on the stock exchange, S&P 500 ETFs offer high liquidity, enabling seamless buying or selling of shares. 4. Historical Performance: The S&P 500 has demonstrated consistent long-term growth, making it an appealing indicator for investors seeking sustained growth. 5. Ease of Access: Accessible to all investors, even those with modest investment amounts, requiring only a brokerage account. 6. Simple Tracking: The S&P 500 index simplifies market tracking, eliminating the need to monitor numerous stocks individually. 7. Dividends: Companies included often pay dividends, providing an additional income stream. 8. Long-Term Strategy: Ideal for investors pursuing a long-term approach, S&P 500 ETFs are pivotal for gradual wealth building. 9. Geographical Diversification: Investing in an S&P 500 ETF offers not just sectoral but also geographical diversification. Despite the U.S. base, many included companies have a global presence, contributing to international portfolio diversification. Moreover, Warren Buffett's 2008 bet, where he wagered $1 million on the passive S&P 500 index fund outperforming active fund managers over a decade, underscores the difficulty even seasoned financial experts face in surpassing the market's long-term return. This further strengthens the notion that choosing an S&P 500-linked ETF can be a prudent and effective investment strategy. Investment in Physical Gold ETFs: 1. Exposure to Physical Gold: Designed to reflect the price of physically held gold, providing direct exposure without the need for physical acquisition, storage, or insurance. 2. Liquidity: Traded on the stock exchange, physical gold ETFs offer high liquidity, allowing investors to buy or sell shares at prevailing market prices. 3. Diversification: Gold's unique reaction to market dynamics makes it a valuable diversification asset, potentially reducing overall portfolio risk. 4. Lower Costs: Compared to physically buying gold, investing in physical gold ETFs proves more cost-effective in terms of transaction costs, storage, and insurance. ETF management fees are also relatively low. 5. Transparency: Managers regularly publish reports detailing the gold quantity held, ensuring transparency about underlying assets. 6. Accessibility: Physical gold ETFs offer easy market access without the need for physical possession, appealing to investors avoiding gold storage and security management. 7. Gold-backed ETFs: These ETFs physically hold gold as the underlying asset, with investors often having the option to convert their shares into physical gold. After extensive research and backtesting across diverse ETFs covering various asset classes, including bonds, real estate, commodities, and stocks of financially stable companies, my findings notably highlight a standout option during times of crisis: physical gold ETFs. The strategy hinges on leading indicators, powerful economic tools. Leading Indicators: Leading indicators, or forward indicators, are crucial tools in economics and finance for anticipating future trends. In contrast to lagging indicators, which confirm existing trends, leading indicators provide early signals, aiding informed decision-making based on anticipated economic developments. Key characteristics include: Trend Anticipation: Early insight into upcoming changes in economic activity, facilitating preparedness for market developments. Responsiveness: Quick reactions to economic changes, sometimes preceding other indicators. Correlation with the Economy: Association with specific aspects of the economy, such as industrial production, consumer spending, or investments. Examples include: • Housing Starts: Providing early indications of the real estate market and construction investments. • Net New Orders for Durable Goods: Indicating business investment intentions and insights into the manufacturing sector's health. • US Stock Prices: Considered a leading indicator reflecting investor expectations. • Consumer Confidence: Measuring consumer perceptions and influencing consumer spending. • Purchasing Managers' Confidence and Factory Directors: Offering insights into production plans and future economic trends. • Interest Rate Spread: Indicating economic expectations and influencing borrowing and investment decisions. Returning to the strategy, I leverage entry points calculated by a meticulously developed strategy incorporating leading indicators applied to the SPY chart. The achieved performance of 3496% since 1993, with 15 closed trades, significantly surpasses a buy-and-hold position yielding 1654% in performance. Notably, the maximum drawdown is 5.44%, a stark contrast to the over 50% drawdown seen in an investment in the S&P 500. Upon the indicators signaling the end of the long position, I close my SPY positions and transition to positions in physical gold ETFs. In our example, choosing the GLD ETF yields a performance of 173%, adding to our total performance. While the maximum drawdown, considering the addition of the investment in physical gold ETFs, is 17.65%, slightly higher than the drawdown on the strategy applied to the SPY, it remains impressive for such a prolonged period. Now, if we conduct the backtest since 2007: SPY : performance of 751 %, max drawdown of 4.02 % GLD : Performance of 153 % Since 2015: SPY : performance of 131 % GLD : Performance of 37 % Disclaimer: The information shared is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice.

USDCAD Waiting for the CPI to position itself towards 1.40!The Canadian Dollar experiences a slight uptick in a calm yet moderately optimistic Monday. Tuesday's Canadian CPI figures will be in focus for Loonie traders. The market anticipates a marginal increase in the monthly figure, 0.1% for October compared to September's -0.1%. The expected annualized Canadian CPI inflation is projected to cool slightly, coming in at 3.6% versus the previous 3.8%. With broader markets mainly concentrated on the US Dollar, the release of the Federal Reserve's FOMC Meeting Minutes on Tuesday could attract additional attention. Markets are betting that the Fed has concluded rate hikes, and investors are focusing on inflation figures in anticipation of future rate cuts. On the daily candlesticks, the USD/CAD continues to receive bids pushing towards dynamic technical support represented by the rising trendline from July's lows of 1.3100. Bids continue to find support from the 50-day SMA, and the long-term trend appears to support continued USD strength. On the bearish side, the USD/CAD struggles to establish significant gains, and downside risks increase as the pair moves towards the year's high side. The price is within a supply zone; in my view, the price has retested the zone and is now attempting to go long. We will see tomorrow with the CPI data if it will support this upward move towards 1.40. Personally, I will look for a hypothetical long entry tomorrow during the London open, also considering the data; then I will assess how I manage risk, which is the most important aspect—always managing capital. Greetings and happy trading to everyone from Nicola, the CEO of Forex48 Trading Academy.

EUR/USD Breakout to the upside followed by a pullback towards 1.On Friday, the EUR/USD exchange rate is rising, approaching 1.0900, with the U.S. dollar supported by higher Treasury yields and mixed market sentiment. The pair is poised to mark the highest weekly close since August. Despite a lower low, the pair quickly reversed the trend upwards according to the daily chart. The 100 and 200 Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) are directionless between 1.0790 and 1.0800, while the 20 SMA is accelerating north below the longer ones. Technical indicators, though stable near overbought levels, show a slight increase without a clear directional bias. In the short term, the technical outlook suggests a potential uptrend, as 4-hour chart indicators corrected from extremely overbought readings, reflecting a growing buying interest. The bullish momentum is likely to resume by surpassing the immediate resistance level at 1.0890. In fact, we have a price oscillating between two support and resistance areas. Let's say the long-term outlook is bullish, and I expect the price to break the level of 1.0946 before a retest of the 1.09 level, and then move towards 1.10. Let me know what you think, comment, and leave a like. Greetings from Nicola, the CEO of Forex48 Trading Academy.

NASDAQ Pullback before 16,500!On November 17th, the USA's technology stocks index closed with a modest gain of +0.03%. The opening was stable compared to the previous day's closing, followed by a gradual improvement throughout the session.

An upward continuation towards the level of 16,311.6 is expected. Furthermore, after the breakout from the bearish channel in the daily chart, I anticipate a retracement to the level of approximately 15,200, which corresponds to the 0.5% Fibonacci level. After that, I will aim to ride the upward trend, targeting an entry with a goal between 16,300 and 16,700. Let me know what you think, comment, and leave a like.

USOIL: Pullback to the upside before the descent! West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the benchmark for U.S. crude oil, has rebounded from a three-month low of $72.22, experiencing a more than 4% increase during the mid-North American session. This rise has been attributed to U.S. sanctions on Russian oil shippers and profit-taking by traders. Currently, WTI is traded at $75.97 per barrel, marking a gain of 4.27%. The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on companies and vessels involved in shipping oil beyond the G7's $60 limit, with the aim of reducing Russian profits linked to actions in Ukraine. Despite an increase in U.S. crude oil stockpiles and a rise in Baker Hughes' drilling rig count, indicating growing oil production, WTI prices have not been significantly influenced. Additionally, the price is in a bearish channel with the possibility of a pullback to the upside before resuming the downward trend towards 68 points.

XAUUSD: Breakout of 2000 in sight!Gold, consolidating above $1,980 this Friday, aims to break a two-week downtrend. Despite the potential for a US dollar recovery, the decline in Treasury bond yields supports gold's upward movement. Surging above the 21-day Simple Moving Average at $1,974, Thursday's close motivated buyers. The 14-day Relative Strength Index remains comfortably above the midline, confirming the upward trend. The next challenge is the descending trendline resistance at $1,992, near the November 6 high of $1,993. A breakthrough could push buyers to target the psychological $2,000 level. In case of selling pressure, initial support lies at the 21-day SMA at $1,974, with a risk of rapid decline to $1,960. Further downward extension may test psychological support at $1,950. Gold remains influenced by risk trends and Federal Reserve statements. US-China trade tensions and Fed rate uncertainty keep investors cautious. In a market of uncertainty, the safe-haven US dollar limits gold's upward attempts. However, gold benefits from recent Treasury bond yield declines, with hopes the Fed's rate-hiking cycle is done and rate cuts are anticipated by May next year. Weak US economic data reinforced expectations of a Fed pause, justifying the gold surge. In October, the US Producer Price Index had its steepest decline in three and a half years, and Consumer Price Index inflation dropped to 3.2% YoY. Retail sales fell 0.1% in October. Thursday saw US initial claims rise by 13,000 to 231,000 for the week ending November 11. Gold prices are likely to maintain an upward trend, but end-of-week profit-taking and a potential US dollar recovery may pose challenges. Data on US housing starts and building permits are expected to have a limited impact on US dollar trading.

GBP/USD: Pullback after Asia and ahead of 1.27.GBP/USD is moving sideways with a negative tone near 1.2410 during the Asian hours on Friday. The US Dollar (USD) finds support despite positive data on US jobless claims and a decrease in US Treasury yields. Continuing Jobless Claims for the week ending on November 3 increased to the highest level since 2022 at 1.865 million, compared to the previous reading of 1.833 million. Additionally, Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending on November 10 rose to 231,000, exceeding the expected 220,000, marking the highest level in nearly three months. Despite challenging labor market indicators, the US Dollar Index (DXY) recovered ground. Notably, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note bottomed at 4.43% on Thursday. However, it is observed that the DXY is bidding lower around 104.30 at the time of writing. Federal Reserve representatives have spoken out to counter expectations of rate cuts. Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester emphasized that the US central bank is data-dependent when considering whether to raise rates further, reflecting the nuanced approach taken in response to economic conditions. The UK inflation report for October revealed a notable decline in the annual rate of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), dropping to 4.6% from the previous level of 6.7%. The monthly rate also eased to 0.0%, falling short of the expected 0.1%. Core CPI (Year-on-Year) also contracted to 5.7% from the previous reading of 6.1%. Despite the Bank of England (BoE) emphasizing the need for higher rates, market participants are not anticipating more rate hikes. Investors are awaiting key economic indicators, focusing on UK Retail Sales and US housing data. Additionally, I note how the price has reacted at the level of 1.25, near the 0.5% Fibonacci level, during the Asian session. I expect a slight pullback to regain liquidity below the Asian session low before aiming for a long position towards 1.27. Let me know what you think, leave a like and comment.

EUR/USD: Two long scenarios with a target of 1.09!The EUR/USD currency pair recently reached a high of 1.0896, the highest level since late August, before experiencing a slight pullback below 1.0850. Despite softer-than-expected US economic data and lower Treasury yields, the pair remains above its moving averages on the daily chart. The short-term technical outlook suggests a potential upward movement, with indicators on the 4-hour chart showing signs of recovery. The US Dollar has modestly recovered after a recent decline, as investors anticipate the Federal Reserve's reluctance to further raise rates and the possibility of a new rate-cut cycle. Financial markets turned optimistic, leading to a decline in the safe-haven US Dollar and pushing EUR/USD closer to 1.0900. It's noted that other US economic data indicates a relatively stronger local economy, which could potentially strengthen the US Dollar in the future. Before Wall Street's opening, ECB President Christine Lagarde highlighted the resilience of the European financial system in avoiding severe systemic risks. On the daily chart, two possible long scenarios are marked, one with a retracement, which is the one I will target for a long entry, and then the second scenario that predicts a direct rise tomorrow towards 1.09.

Gold Surges on Weaker US Inflation DataThe price of gold has experienced substantial gains, surpassing $1,950 following a less pronounced increase than anticipated in the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for October. This has led traders to scale back their bets on a December Federal Reserve rate hike. The US dollar slid in tandem with US Treasury bond yields due to disappointment in US inflation data. Currently, the price of gold is confined to a narrow range, correcting towards the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, situated around $1,933.80. The short-term outlook has turned bearish, with gold trading below the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), although the 50-day EMA at approximately $1,938.00 continues to provide support. Investors await October's US inflation data, hoping for clarity on monetary policy. Economists project steady growth in the core Consumer Price Index (CPI) but a slowdown in overall inflation. Persistent US inflation could fuel expectations of further restrictive measures by the Federal Reserve (Fed), committed to timely reducing inflation to 2% and prepared to raise rates if deemed necessary.

GBP/USD. Two Upside Scenarios Today!During Thursday's Asian session, the GBP/USD pair consolidated, oscillating in a narrow range and maintaining spot prices above the 1.2400 level, influenced by the dynamics of the US Dollar (USD). The USD Index (DXY), which tracks the USD against a basket of currencies, struggled to capitalize on the modest recovery from the lowest level since September 1 due to dovish expectations from the Federal Reserve (Fed). Bets increased following the softer US CPI report released on Tuesday, indicating consumer inflation was cooling faster than expected. Moreover, markets are now pricing in a higher probability that the Fed will begin cutting rates in the first half of 2024, keeping US Treasury bond yields low and acting as a headwind for the dollar. However, upside prospects are limited by the growing acceptance that the Bank of England (BoE) may soon start cutting interest rates. The UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) on an annual basis dropped significantly from 6.7% to 4.6% in October, hitting a two-year low. Additionally, Core CPI declined from 6.1% in September to 5.7%. In this mixed fundamental context, aggressive traders should exercise caution before establishing a firm direction in the short term, especially in the absence of relevant macroeconomic data from the UK on Thursday. Meanwhile, the US economic calendar features the usual Weekly Initial Jobless Claims, Philly Fed Manufacturing Index, and Industrial Production figures. These, along with US bond yields and overall risk sentiment, could influence USD price dynamics and offer short-term opportunities in the GBP/USD pair. I have also identified two possible price scenarios: the first anticipates an upward price movement during the London session as we are in an Order Block at the 1.24 level, and the price could retest the supply zone at 1.249. The second scenario suggests a decline to the 0.5% Fibonacci level calculated from the low of 1.207 to the high of 1.251. If it retraces to this Fibonacci level and tests the bullish trendline again, the price could push higher. Comment and leave a like; greetings from Nicola, the CEO of Forex48 Trading Academy.

XAUUSD Finally the price is ready to go up!The price of gold (XAU/USD) has dropped to approximately $1,940 and faces further decline due to several challenges. Factors include the absence of significant tensions in the Middle East, hawkish statements from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and uncertainty preceding the release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for October on Tuesday. Investors are closely monitoring the upcoming US inflation data, which is expected to provide insights into the Federal Reserve's monetary policy for its final 2023 meeting in December. Despite the potential for persistent inflation data leading to a December interest rate hike, markets generally anticipate the Fed to maintain unchanged rates. Jerome Powell and colleagues emphasized an ongoing commitment to curbing inflation, with Powell expressing uncertainty about the current interest rates' adequacy. St. Louis Fed interim President Kathleen O'Neill Paese supported Powell's stance, cautioning against ruling out further rate hikes. The subdued appeal for gold is also attributed to the lack of a significant escalation in the Israel-Palestine conflict. The US Dollar Index (DXY) faces pressure, and there's anticipation that the Fed might initiate a rate-cutting cycle in mid-2024, as projected by economists at Morgan Stanley. Technical analysis indicates that the gold price is declining toward $1,930, with near-term demand impacted by various challenges, and the correction extending close to the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $1,940. The next support level is expected near the 200-day EMA at approximately $1,915.

USD/JPY Liquidity Take Before 145!The USD/JPY exchange rate is trading in positive territory for the sixth consecutive day during Monday's Asian trading hours. The exchange rate's growth is supported by higher yields on US Treasury bonds and hawkish comments from Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell. Currently, the exchange rate is around 151.70, gaining 0.10% for the day. USD/JPY continues its winning streak for the fifth consecutive day, trading higher around 151.40 during the early European session on Friday. Unexpectedly hawkish comments from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell had a significant impact, boosting yields on US Treasury bonds and strengthening the US dollar (USD) against the Japanese yen (JPY). However, Japanese authorities may consider intervention to curb the advance of the USD/JPY exchange rate in response to these developments. Powell's statement at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) event on Thursday expressed concern that current policies may not be sufficient to curb inflation. Nevertheless, the Japanese yen continues to face pressure as plans to exit accommodative policy may be delayed due to lower wage growth. Decent wage growth is considered a crucial factor for the Japanese central bank to contemplate an exit from prolonged accommodative monetary policy. The market has reached the October 2022 high, and in this area, after breaking an uptrend channel on the daily chart, the market could experience a false breakout of highs, leading to a sharp decline towards 145.

EUR/USD Roadmap from 1.06 to 1.07The EUR/USD cross struggles to find a direction on Friday, oscillating in a narrow range just below 1.0700. US consumer confidence, according to the UoM index, fell below expectations, weakening to 60.4 in November from 63.8 in October. Wall Street operates in positive territory after Thursday's decline, influencing the demand for US dollars. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart retreated below 50, while EUR/USD dropped below the mid-point of the ascending regression channel, indicating a bearish tilt in the short-term outlook. If EUR/USD fails to stabilize above 1.0680 (mid-point of the ascending channel), sellers' interest could persist. In this scenario, the 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) acts as provisional support at 1.0660 before 1.0640 (Fibonacci 38.2% retracement level of the latest downtrend) and 1.0620 (lower limit of the ascending channel, 100-period SMA). On the upside, resistances are located at 1.0700 (Fibonacci 50% retracement), 1.0730 (upper limit of the ascending channel), and 1.0750 (Fibonacci 61.8% retracement). EUR/USD came under bearish pressure and declined below 1.0700 in the late American session on Thursday. The pair stays relatively quiet early Friday, while the technical outlook indicates a slightly bearish bias. During participation in a monetary policy panel organized by the International Monetary Fund on Thursday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell reiterated the data-dependent approach. "We are making decisions meeting by meeting, based on the totality of the incoming data and their implications for the outlook for economic activity and inflation," Powell stated. However, Powell noted that they are not confident that they have achieved a 'sufficiently restrictive' policy stance to bring inflation down to 2% over time. This comment provided a boost to the US Dollar (USD) and caused EUR/USD to turn south. Nevertheless, the CME Group FedWatch Tool shows that markets are still pricing in a 90% probability of the Fed leaving the policy rate unchanged in December. The market positioning suggests that there is more room for USD strength if other policymakers adopt a similar language. Additionally, EUR/USD presents a possibility of retracement to the 62% Fibonacci level as it currently sits between the 0.38% and 0.5% levels, touching the price of 1.062 before rebounding to the 1.07 level.

XAU/USD Pullback to 1950 after NFP?The price of gold is consolidating just below the $2,000 level at the beginning of the week on Monday. This comes as the United States Dollar (USD) and US Treasury bond yields are attempting to find stability in a market environment that is inclined towards risk-friendly sentiment. Gold has faced challenges staying above the $2,000 threshold on multiple occasions last week, finding demand at lower levels. An immediate support is available at the rising trendline, situated at $1,975. If this support is breached, the November low at $1,9769 may be revisited. Failing to hold above this level could lead to a test of the static support at $1,960, potentially opening the path to the psychological level of $1,954. On the upside, breaking and maintaining above the $2,000 level is crucial to initiate a significant uptrend. A strong resistance barrier is present around the multi-month high of $2,009, coinciding with a horizontal resistance. The next significant level for Gold buyers is near the mid-May high, around $2,020. The Unemployment Rate increased to 3.9% compared to the expectation of 3.8%. Asian markets are following the positive closing on Wall Street from last Friday, buoyed by optimistic remarks made by China's Premier Li Qiang over the weekend. Li reaffirmed China's commitment to maintaining its pace of opening up and sharing development opportunities with the world. However, the US Dollar is seeing a minor rebound in Asia on Monday, benefiting from a slight uptick in US Treasury bond yields as investors adjust their positions for the new week. Additionally, during the Asian session, the price broke a swing high at the level of 1987.50, which is leading the price towards a pullback in the direction of around 1950, where there is a significant horizontal support/resistance zone. In that area, it will be important to evaluate possible upward movements and potential market entries at M15/M5, considering that macroeconomic data is scarce this week, and a calmer market could still reveal surprises. Comment and leave a like, have a great start to the trading week, everyone, and greetings from Nicola, CEO of Forex48 Trading Academy.
