The <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3UagSV4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">US dollar<\/a> suffered further losses against major rivals ahead of the US Midterm elections. There will be a line-up of Fed members\u2019 speeches later in the day ahead of this week\u2019s US inflation data. Commodity pairs suffered weakness as China sticks with Covid Zero Policy amid deteriorating economic outlook.<\/p><p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2KflF5J\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Zealand dollar<\/a> traded -0.19% lower than the US dollar following downbeat Chinese data. The Chinese Trade Balance [USD] came in less than anticipated at 85.15 billion vs 95.95 billion indicating a deepening slowdown. China says it is sticking with its Covid zero policy scraping out speculations that they were relaxing the measures. This weighed on the Kiwi which established a low at 0.5864 and may face resistance at 0.6000<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3bHvAgG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GBPCHF<\/a> gained +0.26% after sliding to 1.1257 following a lower unemployment rate in Switzerland. In October the unemployment rate dropped to 1.9% vs the 2.0% expected. Moreso, the risk-on tone underpinned the CHF strength in the short term. The pound rose but the gloomy economic outlook remains a major headwind for near-term bulls. House prices in the UK fell to 8.3% from 9.8% on a yearly basis. The pair bounced off a 1.1250 level, a 3-week support and upside gains are capped by the 1.1450, a previous support-turned-resistance.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3gSVgJG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EURAUD<\/a> rallied by +0.32% ahead of Australia\u2019s Westpac Consumer Sentiment. The risk-sensitive Australian dollar lagged, while Euro advanced on positive economic data. The Sentix Investor Confidence rose to -30.9 vs -35.0 surveyed. Traders continue to digest the ECB members\u2019 speeches delivered early morning. Bulls face a near-term barrier at 1.55000 level after bouncing off the critical support level at 1.5350 level, a monthly low. A break above the near-term high could see bulls rally 1.5700 level.<\/p><p>European stocks were steady after a release of mixed Euro area economic data. <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3S5ruCW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FTSE100<\/a> was down by -0.31% as bulls lose steam below the 7350 level and critical levels to watch for are 7400 resistance and 7200 support. <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3LeFsjF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DAX<\/a> edged higher by +0.87% after breaking the 13500 level and the next target is at 13900 resistance. <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3NaSy26\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CAC40<\/a> was slightly lower by -0.07% as bulls struggle to break above the 6450 level but with a breach above that level, bulls could reach the 6600 level.<\/p><p>US stock futures rallied as investors shift their focus to the US Midterm elections. <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3xqcdEK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">S&amp;P500<\/a> futures extended gains by +0.69% after bouncing off a 3700 near-term support and bulls face a near-term barrier at the 3800 level. A break above that level could see extended targets at the 3900 psychological level. <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3QO16fN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nasdaq100 futures<\/a> surged by +0.65% as bulls attempt to challenge the 11000 near-term barriers and a breach of that level could reinforce the bullish outlook towards the 11600 level. <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3ROlChC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DJIA index futures<\/a> soared by +0.60% after claiming the 32500 level and the next critical level is the 33000 level.<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2ZsFzPL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gold<\/a> took a corrective pattern early European session after a big 3% jump on Friday. Bulls retreated from the 1680 level ahead of FOMC member Mester, Barkin and Fed speaker Collins. The 1670 level remains near-term support to maintain the bullish outlook. Bulls could reclaim the 1700 and 1725 levels ahead of US inflation data later this week.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Markets advanced higher extending their Friday rally as investors maintain a risk-on mood early Monday.
