Overview<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Focus this week: The upcoming US Core PCE, GDP, and CPI reports are set to build market sentiment and influence expectations around future rate decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traders are keeping a close watch on gold\u2019s range between USD 4,130\u20134,290 and Bitcoin\u2019s momentum above USD 115,000, while key speeches from the Fed, ECB, and BoJ could inject volatility into markets ahead of month-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equity indices continue to hover near record highs, though thin liquidity and earnings fatigue are beginning to test investor conviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a Glance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Markets begin the week cautiously as the US dollar index (USDX) consolidates near 98 after rebounding modestly from last week\u2019s lows. Investors are reassessing whether the continued strength in US data could delay the onset of policy easing into 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
