GBP/USD – Rising After UK PMI Data Draws Attention…
During the day, the Dollar Index makes its weight felt a little more in the global markets. However, that didn’t hold true for the Sterling, and it appreciated against the US Dollar today.
The expectation that the Bank of England could increase interest rates more easily after the PMI data from the UK that came above the expectations during the day caused the Sterling to gain strength.
GBPUSD parity increased from 1.20 to 1.2115 levels. For the incoming reactions, 1.2175 resistance will be technically more important during the day. This region was tested in the attack last week, the rise that day jumped up to 1.2270, but the daily close remained at 1.2175. For this reason, it will be technically important to break this resistance with a daily candle in the continuation of possible attacks.

XAU/USD – Under Pressure Due to The Dollar and Pushing the 1830s…
Markets were quiet yesterday due to the US holiday. As of today, we can think that the market has reopened and there is an image in favor of the US Dollar. While the US 10-year bond yield maintains its upward trend, this situation puts pressure on Ounce Gold. With this edition, 1830 support, which was tested for the last three days last week, is being tested again. This region is also important as it coincides with the Fibonacci 38.2 retracement of the 1615/1960 rise. If the 1830 support, which coincides with this important correction zone, is broken, the declines may turn towards the Fibo 50 correction.
In possible reactions, the first resistance will be 1843, as it was last week.
