Recession

DXY BUYFundamental: Overall I have a bullish bias for the DXY (USD), given the current recession, it being the federal reserve and the feds current hawkish. Inaddition this week news on the US interest rate will be released, forecasted to increase by 0.75 making the total interest rate at a massive 2.5%. Increasing the interest rate is often used a strategy to reduce inflation. Technical analysis: The white light represents the 50% retracement line, pirce has bounced between the 38 and 50% RL- Healthy pull back The greens lines show the bullish divergence on the rsi, where the price is making lower lows whilst the rsi is making higher lows. The current upsike on the chart has a HIGHER rsi reading then previous prices at similar or higher levels, showing bulls are increasing. The red box represents a resistance zone in which price was unable to breakthrough, if price manages to breakthrough the resistance zone and THEN find support above the resistance zone then a bullish trend (or bullish thesis) can be confirmed. Trades: The pairs I may trade against the dollar: GBPUSD, EURUSD, USDZAR Pairs I may be trade because of dollar bullishness: EURCAD, EURNZD, EURGBP

Intensified recession mood as US bond yield curve remains invertEUR/USD 🔼 GBP/USD 🔼 AUD/USD 🔼 USD/CAD 🔽 XAU 🔽 WTI 🔼 Almost three weeks of an inverted US bond yield curve has led investors all but confirm the recession, and sluggish GDP data on Thursday could be the nail in the coffin. The latest price to yield readings of the two- and ten-year Treasury notes were at 3.0081 and 2.785, respectively, which remained inverted since 6 July. Meanwhile, major currencies have retrieved lost ground against the greenback. EUR/USD has a minor uptick to 1.022, despite Monday's Germany IFO business climate index declining to 88.6, falling short of the 90.2 forecasts. GBP/USD returned above the 1.2000 level to close at 1.2042. AUD/USD rose and stabilized at 0.6950 level, reaching a closing price of 0.6953. The Australia Consumer Price Index will be available on Wednesday morning to reveal recent price level changes. USD/CAD slumped to 1.2848, after slowing at the 1.2850 level. The jury is still out on gold being the proper hedge option for the possible recession, gold futures retreated from a high of 1,733.3 to 1,719.1. WTI oil futures gained $2 to $96.7 a barrel, lower than expected gas demand in the ongoing US driving season has eased the supply shock impacts. More information on Mitrade website.

AUDCAD at a crossroad - LongThe pair is sitting below the 50 day SMA after clearing a trendline. I would like to see more action within this zone supporting a long trade considering that the zone also has a resistance level which the price broke to the downside in June. Failure to break above this level will invalidate this idea. Therefore, the 0.86xxx and 0.83xx will come into focus Fundamentally speaking, the AUD seems shielded from geopolitical impacts affecting Europe. Australia is expected to do better than other G10 countries as central banks rush to hike interest rates. In addition to this, weakness in the oil markets could lead to a weaker CAD. Oil markets are starting to price in a possibility of a global recession despite the tightness of the supply side the world is currently experiencing. Saudi Arabia has promised to increase supply into 2023 prompting oil prices to move lower Risks to this play are as follows: AUD tends to follow risk sentiment in equities. Therefore, if the equity markets reprice lower in the event of a recession, this AUD strength is going to subside. My assumption is that equity markets have already priced in a global mild recession given that as the market is considered efficient (Efficient market hypothesis states that markets are efficient i.e. have already priced in all the available information in the public domain leaving no room for investors to make excess profits) Should oil prices remain elevated for longer, i.e. the futures curve reprices higher as time moves on, the CAD will remain relatively strong. This is the biggest risk to LONG play. Should the two above risks play out at the same time - a mild recession and higher energy prices, that would possibly push the AUDCAD pair lower towards the March 2020 Low pivot level. It's important to understand the macro background in order to inform your decision on how to position for this play. However, I'm currently bullish on this pair unless risks come to fruition.

Fake it for a sell trick or breakoutThis is very interesting.. the big wick is a fakeout. Please be extremely careful and use caution. The breakout has to happen over 12665 area and make comeback during the recession& inflation.. if the breakout didn’t happen then we will seek the break of the trendline and breakdown to collapse new low create. Let’s see how it plays and hope for breakout even tho Biden had been tested positive for B.A.5 omnicron variant .. this will effect the economy slowdown.

Final Market Drop For Now Looks Like...We are potentially in the early stages of Primary wave 5 in overall Cycle A of SuperCycle 2. SuperCycle 2 began shortly after the beginning of January this year as we are yet to revisit a new all-time high for the S&P 500 index. The wave number nomenclature for this wave being analyzed is 152A5. I may reference the end of this structure (2A5 or A5) when comparing against historical data. I will try to forward forecast the end of Cycle A which will coincide with the end of Primary wave 5. I will do this by studying the relationships of each Primary wave we have encountered and compare it to the historical relationships between each wave and wave 5. After a rough timeline to completion is established, I will then work backwards and attempt to plot the endpoints for each of the 5 Intermediate waves inside of Primary wave 5. This blueprint will be tweaked as we move through Primary wave 5. (NOTE: If we are still in Primary wave 4, I will re-accomplish these steps once wave 4 appears to have concluded. We are likely still in wave 4 if a high above 4012 is achieved this week, however, Friday July 29, 2022 is likely the last day in this wave.) WAVELENGTH BASED ON STRUCTURE ENDING (A5 / 2A5) Based on all waves ending in 2A5, the strongest model agreement suggests this current wave will last 23 trading days. The second strongest agreement is at 46 days and third strongest at 19 days. Primary wave 1 lasted 35 days, wave 2 was 23 days, wave 3 was 56 days, and as of now wave 4 is 23 days. Waves ending in 2A5 tend to makeup 14.29-16-25% of the larger waves they reside inside with the first value being the 1st quartile, second is the median, and last is 3rd quartile based on all available data. Based on the duration of Primary waves 1 through 4 and application of the 14.29-25% values, Primary 5 could last 23, 26, or 46 days. Waves ending in A5 slightly expand this range with a 15.38-19.18-29.03% quartile breakdown. Replicating this analysis per the last portion, Primary 5 could last 25, 32, or 56 days. Primary waves ending in 2A5 makeup 15.56% - 36.95% of the wave in which they reside. This would add lengths of 25 and 80 days. Primary wave 5 has moved beyond the length of Primary wave 3 on only 2 of 28 occasions. This means the overall length will likely be less than 56 trading days. There are other studied areas and ratios, however the standard deviations in the data does not point to much consistency. The ratio between the duration of Primary wave 4 to Primary wave 5 sits in a relatively small window. Wave 4’s duration in trading days to wave 5 has a median ratio of 0.4358. This means wave 4’s duration of 23 days divided by 0.4358 could see Primary wave 5 lasting 53 days. Quartile 1’s ratio is 0.2517 and quartile 3 is 0.6507. The first quartile would have the length at 91 days while the third quartile would be 35 days. For reference, 23 days would end August 24; 25—August 26; 26—August 29; 32—September 7; 35—September 12; 46—September 27; 56—October 11; 80—November 14; 91—November 30. Most of these days point to a potential bottom by mid-September, however, Primary wave 5 may end as late as November. Calculating the duration of the waves has proven one of the more difficult tasks undertaken during Elliott Wave forecasting, but we are getting better. Realistically we may drop until the next Federal Reserve meeting in September where inflation may appear under more control than it has been. That meeting is scheduled for September 21. WAVE MOVEMENT FORECASTING Wave 5 tends to extend beyond the end of wave 3’s value. These extensions are considered as percentages of wave 3’s movement. If Primary wave 5 drops to the end of Primary wave 3 at 3636.87, then 100% of wave 3’s movement would have been achieved. Waves ending in 2A5 have extensions with the quartile breakdowns of 112.36%-135.09%-204.51%. Waves ending in A5 have a quartile breakdown of 112.36-122.26-163.93%. Primary wave 5s have a quartile breakdown of 105.86-120.12-153.08%. Lastly, Primary wave 5s ending in A5 extend 112.36%, 114.06%, 116.69%, and 203.9% beyond Primary wave 3. Most of these levels have been plotted on the chart above. Another datapoint for forecasting movement is how much wave 5 makes up of the overall wave in which it resides. Waves ending in A5 makeup 36.90%-49.71%-74.18% in the quartile breakdown. Waves ending in 2A5 makeup 30.60%-56.75%-86.46%. Primary wave 5’s tend to makeup 26.305-41.04-51.51% in the quartile breakdown. Primary waves ending in 2A5 specifically makeup 21.37%, 23.51%, 36.09% and 75.12%. Assuming Wave 5 moves beyond the end of Primary wave 3, wave 5’s movement should account for greater than 32% of the overall wave. If Primary wave 5 makes up greater than 70%, the market bottom would be below 2112. This level is well beyond the rare drop level of 2636 which would be a 200% extension of Primary wave 3. Movement below 2636 is likely out of the realm of possible for this Primary wave 5. This would mean wave 5 will likely account for 32%-63% of Cycle wave A’s movement. The bottom of Cycle wave A Primary wave 5 should occur within the highlighted box in the chart above.

Critical Period for the Markets - To Buy or Not to BuyNot accounting for any fundamentals, the OANDA:SPX500USD and the OANDA:US30USD had a strong rejection from heading lower in 3 consecutive weeks. Fundamentals will be required to decide whether the market is moving back to a long term BUY. We hit a low of ~-20% from the highs on the DJIA and ~ -25% from the highs on the S&P500. On multiple time frames, prices are in a key area. From technical analysis on the daily chart: 1) potentially a double top was forming but did not break the neckline 2) then a double bottom is forming and now we're waiting to see if it breaks the neckline, which is also a major resistance 3) the double bottom formation was pushed up from a 1D demand area, which is also a 1M demand area. Looking at the candle on a weekly chart, it shows a pretty strong rejection. 1) Price printed a lower low vs the previous week at 3721.6 vs 3741.6 2) Previous week was a bullish candle, and this week we have a bearish candle closing in the body of the previous week's candle. 3) Strong rejection candle printed on 14 Jul 2022 with huge wick, followed buy a very strong bullish candle 4) We're facing a resistance zone that was tested multiple times but failed to break. I am expecting a potential fake out for price below 3950, but if candle closes higher, I think we can call buys. (purely based on technical analysis) With fundamentals, we could be more sure of the probability of how the market will move.

Update SP; Still going down!SP for now unchanged from the main analysis. Still the target is 2700-2000 with an emphasis on around 2000. I see the current increases as a correction in the downtrend. I currently have four stop levels: Now, 3940, which is the old range of wave N, largest wave in the entire decline; 4040 – the second range of wave N of the current increases; 4137 – KIJUN W1; very strong resistance. 4220-4270 – the third and fourth ranges of wave N; TENKAN MN1 and the cloud on W1. At each of the levels I will try to take a position – if I am not on any other indices – after confirmation from the lower intervals. The level I am most interested in is 3, except that I don't want to succumb to the 'best level' emotion so as not to miss the opportunity. Focus and patience. GOOD LUCK!

Bonds as safe-haven asset#Bonds #US10Y #YieldBond Will the US 10-year bond break the descending channel that has held for more than 50 years? The price of the bond is inversely proportional to its yield. This has been falling in value drastically as its profitability increases, but will it manage to overcome the resistance exerted by a descending channel for decades? If we take into account the deflationary measures taken by the FED in recent times, and there is a high probability of entering an economic recession, there are very few assets that act as refuge assets. The bonus is one of them. Other assets ​could be gold, precious metals, and dollar, which has acted as a safe-haven currency in previous recessions. Cryptocurrencies could play a very important role too, but to do so it must overcome the current correlation with stocks market. We recommend adding to your portfolios some safe-haven assets, and grow over time depending on whether or not the circumstances of a recession occur.

GOLD Daily TA Neutral BearishGOLDUSD Daily neutral with a bearish bias. Recommended ratio: 35% Gold, 65% Cash. *Gold, Oil, Agriculture, Treasuries, Euro and Cryptos finished higher today while DXY and Equities closed lower. Last week the EU proposed a new ban on Gold imports from Russia (the fifth largest holder of Gold reserves in the world). Equities started strong but then finished lower on news that Apple is going to slow hiring and spending in 2023 . This rally appears to be part of a broader technical relief rally amidst an onslaught of macroeconomic and geopolitical bearishness, but it still begs the question... when will a recession finally be fully priced into financial markets? Key dates this week: June Housing Starts and Building Permits reports scheduled for release at 830am (EST) tomorrow morning (07/19); the next GDPnow Q2 GDP estimate (previous -1.5%) by the Atlanta Federal Reserve is scheduled for release at 830am (EST) tomorrow morning (07/19) as well. The market consensus estimate for Housing Starts is 1.58m (up from 1.549m in May) and for Building Permits it's 1.65m (down from 1.695m in May) ; if Housing Starts and Building Permits come in lower than consensus it would signal that the economy is continuing to trend toward a recession and may be perceived as bullish by the markets because it would also imply that the Fed's hawkishness is being effective in reducing demand (the only way the Fed can directly influence inflation).* Price is currently attempting to find a temporary bottom at $1700 while continuing to form a Bull Flag after breaking down below $1742 minor support; the next support is at $1685. Volume remains Moderate (high) and is currently on track to break a two session streak of seller dominance if it can close today's session in the green. Parabolic SAR flips bullish at $1742 minor resistance, this margin is mildly bullish. RSI is currently trending sideways at 25 after being rejected by 27 resistance, the next support is at 20. Stochastic crossed over bearish in today's session and is currently trending down at 2 as it approaches a retest of max bottom for the second time this month. MACD remains bearish and is currently beginning to form a soft trough at -35, the next support is at -39 (the ATL is at -52). ADX is currently trending up at 36 as Price continues to see selling pressure, this is bearish at the moment; if ADX is able to form a peak as Price reverses and goes higher, this would be bullish. If Price is able to bounce here at $1700 then it will likely retest $1742 minor resistance . However, if it continues breaking down here, it will likely retest $1684 support for the first time since August 2021. Mental Stop Loss: (one close above) $1742.

Preparing more dropsAs recession started few days ago .. and my idea still stands. 1 more leg down .. happen should be about 12K if not then around 10K. If you are still in a buy secure your profits immediately; opposite side of you are in a sell position MT4&5 stay in for a swing trade big profits in your way. If you are looking for a buy highly suggest wait around 12-10K.. bear flag still in made we should be heading down and break that 17500 support which isn’t that strong enough. Low support is stronger around 12-10K

US DOLLAR (DXY) - THE BULLRUN ISN'T OVER YET 🚨Macro trend analysis and price action suggests that the bull run for the US DOLLAR / DXY is not over yet, and at best, will have a small period of sideways consolidation on the Fibonacci line shown, before continuing its upside. The yellow lines shown are what I would consider reversal areas, the first one being at around 120 and the second at 160. This analysis coincides with previous economic downturns and recessions, where rate hikes and global debt sent the dollar sky rocketing. This movement will affect all assetts both inside and outside of the crypto space. Let's hope we see some macro trend reversals at 120, however data suggests that 160 is more likely.

MARCH MADNESS (Major historical event key dates and price areas)The patterns are there if you look close enough you will see them. EVERY MAJOR ECONOMIC HISTORICAL EVENT HAPPENED IN MARCH. EVERY SINGLE ONE. - We are not in a recession. The recession has not started yet but it is imminent. Something to keep in mind is when the economy is in a recession the dollar deflates not inflates and unemployment rises. Something big is going to happen March of 2003. Just like March of 2020 (Corona Virus) My guess is the planned "Russian hacks" will begin in the United States initiating a war crime agains the US thus commencing a new WWIII ***(Keep in mind the Russians have already hacked a MAJOR United States cyber security company as of mid 2021)*** All major historical events have always been and will continue to be orchestrated and planned. Brace yourselves, .March of 2023 might be the start of the new Great Recession. Reference the dates and historical events on the chart. I can't make this stuff up. -Lomeli

Follow through US30 analysis against 2008 crashCould it be that market cycles are shorter now, versus back then in 2008? Also, we probably have more participants in the market now compared to prior years. More investors, traders as it has become more accessible. More people learnt from 2008 crash to buy the dips on indexes like the S&P as there is a very high probability of it only going higher. But, here's what I mapped out on the 1D chart from 2008 crash versus the 1D chart now. Could we be in a period of consolidation at point 6? or are we only at the tail end of point 5? Could market take a turn for the worse with recession? Or are all the scares just not coming through in numbers? Indeed, we came close to a key level of pre-covid highs. But, I would still be calling for sells based on technical analysis, but will have to wait for confirmation. There is also a probability for continued upside.

SPX Daily TA Neutral BearishSPX Daily neutral with a bearish bias. Recommended ratio: 45% SPX, 55% Cash. * US June Retail Sales was reported this morning and beat the consensus estimate (0.8%) by 0.2% coming in at 1%; compared to last month's retail sales number of -0.1%, it's reasonable to suggest that consumer demand is returning after six consecutive months of shrinkage (Jan 2.7%, Feb 1.7%, March 1.2%, April 0.7%, May -0.1%). One of the primary goals of the Fed raising FFR is to temper economic activity (lessen demand). The Fed announced QT and the possibility of rate hikes in December of 2021, what followed was six months of Retail Sales (consumer demand) shrinkage; the Fed didn't start raising FFR until March 2022 and QT began in June 2022, a testament to how powerful even just words from the Fed can be. This is relevant because these are things to consider when determining how far ahead or behind money markets are, and begs the question once again, have financial markets already priced in a recession? It's hard to say when Federal Reserve Governor Waller says he needs to review Retail Sales and Housing Starts before committing to a more than 75bps rate hike on 07/27 , while St. Louis Federal Reserve President Bullard says that Core PCE inflation hasn't peaked yet but that there isn't too much difference between 75bps and 100bps on 07/27. Equities, Cryptos, and Commodities (aside from Gold, Copper, Palladium, Wheat and Soy) are up; Treasuries, VIX, DXY down. Housing Starts and Building Permits numbers are to be released at 830am (EST) on 07/19.* Price is currently trending up at $3870 and is on the verge of testing the uptrend line from 06/16 at $3880 as resistance after bouncing at $3707 minor support. Volume is currently Low and on track to favor buyers for a third consecutive session. Parabolic SAR at $3938 minor resistance, this margin is mildly bullish. RSI is currently trending up at 49 after bouncing at 42, the next resistance is at 53. Stochastic is on the verge of crossing over bullish at 37 after bouncing at 25; the next support is at 18 and resistance at 48. MACD is currently trending up at -31 after bouncing at the uptrend line from March 2020 at -37 as support (which is simultaneously reversing a soft peak formation), the next resistance is at -11. ADX is currently trending sideways at 20 as Price is pushing higher, this is neutral at the moment; if ADX was to start trending up with Price this would be bullish, and if it trends down as Price goes up this would be bearish. If Price is able to break above the uptrend line from 06/16 at $3880 , it will be forced to contend with the lower trendline of the descending channel from August 2021 at $3938 minor resistance . However, if Price is rejected here then it will likely retest $3707 minor support before potentially retesting $3508 minor support for the first time since November 2020. Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $3938.

Oof we probably in for a rough earning season and second half.Well CPI-U came in at 9.1%. based on 1990s calculations that closer to 12.5% and based on 1980s calculations that's closer to 17-18% Just OOF. Guarantees FED won't go data dependent and then about face in their next meetings but honestly who thought they would...oh right everyone but bond traders. Add to that the earning reports for Netflix, IBM, Twitter, Tesla, Google which have been hammered by the first half of the year already. It is not gonna be a fun few weeks. So basically the FED probably hikes 0.75 or 1.00 and might actually break something this time France is forced to go non negative on rates leaving BOJ as the last sink hole of free money. I am still waiting on the data dependent turn around later this year to begin a new DCA and it just got delayed a few months while the employment numbers definitely don't get revised down from 370k at all. Then once something breaks someones gonna have a nice little grabbed by the ear talk with JPOW before the November kerfuffle. But anyone remember how inflation and deflation in hyperinflationary scenarios comes in waves? This looks like wave #1. Depending on reaction and overreaction of the FED, ECB, & BOJ in the next few years from just the fallout of the economic kerfuffle worldwide as it stands right now, is emense to say the least. Not to mention the effects come harvest when we actually figure out how deep the rabbit hole goes and knock on effects of fertilizer production for 2023. All of which unsancrimoniously glazes over the Ukraine situation in a way that is dehumanizing to put it mildly. Sometimes I just hate people trying to make a buck. But welcome to the world someone built, wasn't me. Hope that covers it for anyone living under a rock. Next two weeks = Baaaaaaaaad. All the best stay sane we gonna need a few who aren't loony when the dust settles.

Fears of a 100 bps US rate hike cool downEUR/USD ▶️ GBP/USD 🔽 AUD/USD 🔽 USD/CAD 🔼 USD/JPY 🔼 XAU 🔽 WTI ▶️ Assuring Federal Reserve officials' comments have calmed investors' concerns for a historical 100 basis points (bps) interest rate increase, as the 9.1% headline inflation could persuade the Fed for more aggressive measures. The latest initial jobless claims rose to 244,000 over a 238,000 forecast. The Retail Sales and Consumer Sentiment readings tonight are expected to indicate a slightly contracted economy as inflation rages on. Meanwhile, the greenback retained its strength against other major currencies. USD/CAD reached 1.3223 before closing at 1.3117. USD/JPY even surged 154 pips to 138.93, a 24-year high. The EUR/USD pair broke parity levels to a two-decade low, after recovering from 0.9950, it closed at 1.0016 with little change. The British Pound lost 66 pips to 1.1822. AUD/USD slid to 0.6745, giving up 15 pips. Gold prices also took a hit from the dominant US dollar, gold futures briefly broke $1,700 support, managing to return to 1,705.8 with a $30 deficit. Recession fear still haunts the oil market, crude oil futures traded flat at 95.78 as they recouped from a low of 91.03. More information on Mitrade website.

AMZN targets the 92-82 pandemic D.bottom low & Vol Profile zone?AMZN has been making an ABC correction since the 188 ATH. The decline was very fast once it failed to hold the 150 volume profile zone. It has retraced exactly to 101, the 0.854 FIB of the 82 pandemic low to ATH. There was a little bounce but AMZN basically is just hovering around the 2016 TL while consolidating inside my red box without breaking the downtrend line. LOOKING BEARISH. I think AMZN will target the pandemic low at 82 to make a double bottom ending hew ABC correction. 82 is also the 0.618 FIB retracement from 14.20 (2015 low) to ATH. 82 is also the 1.618 Fib Extention of the ABC correction, making it a very strong support. WARNING: There may still be a 20% downside from latest low at 101 as consumer discretionary will be the first to suffer during an economic downturn. Not trading advice

Uptrend holds despite dollar fallEUR/USD 🔽 GBP/USD 🔽 AUD/USD 🔼 USD/CAD 🔼 XAU 🔽 WTI 🔼 Following the release of the US Consumer Price Index, which showed that prices rose by a significantly worse 9.1% YoY in June than anticipated (8.8%), the US dollar ended the day slightly weaker. The core figure came in at 5.9 percent, down the previous 6 percent but higher than the projected 5.8 percent, indicating that pricing pressures are still very much present. The data first sparked risk aversion, causing stocks to plummet and government bond costs to skyrocket amid speculation that the US Federal Reserve may consider more significant rate hikes, raising the possibility of a recession. Germany also released its CPI data, which showed that it was indeed 7.6 percent YoY as previously predicted. Due to central bank imbalances, the EUR/USD pair is presently trading at about 1.0055 after reaching a peak of 1.0121. The US Federal Reserve has increased rates several times, and this month they will probably increase them by another 75 basis points. On the other hand, the European Central Bank will increase rates by 25 basis points to begin its gradual tightening in July. Positive UK data helped the pound during European trading hours as the monthly GDP increased to 0.5 percent in May, a significant improvement from the previous -0.3 percent. Additionally, Manufacturing Production expanded by 2.3 percent YoY in the same month, above expectations, while Industrial Production increased by 1.4 percent YoY. The pair lost ground during the day, finishing at roughly 1.1890. In July, the Bank of Canada increased its policy rate by 100 basis points to 2.5 percent, versus the market’s forecast for a rate increase of 75 basis points. The BOC recognized in its policy statement that, since the spring of last year, it has largely underestimated inflation due to external factors. Due to the dismal state of US equities, USD/CAD dropped to 1.2933 and is currently trading around 1.2980. Prior to the announcement of Australian employment data, the AUD/USD pair maintained slight gains near 0.6760. The nation will release June employment data during the upcoming Asian session. After adding 60.6K new jobs in May, it is anticipated that the nation will have added just modestly 25K new jobs in June. The nation’s unemployment rate is also anticipated to decrease to 3.8 percent from 3.9 percent. Australia will also release July Consumer Inflation Expectations before the statistics, with analysts anticipating a decrease from the previous estimate of 6.7 percent to 5.9 percent. While there was minimal movement in crude oil prices, WTI is currently trading at $95.80 per barrel. The gold price settled at $1,733 per troy ounce. More information on Mitrade website.
