Currencies
Through the Great Financial Crisis, the Trump years of seeking a weaker dollar, and the shock of the pandemic, the dollar’s role remains quite stable. Smaller gains were recorded by the Australian dollar (+1.51%), the British pound (+0.95%), the Japanese yen (+0.81%), the euro (+0.71%), the Swiss franc (+0.51%), and the Canadian dollar (+0.14%). The steepest increase against the US dollar were seen in the New Zealand dollar (+1.59%).

Looking ahead, the US dollar price action and broad market sentiment will lead the way for gold traders, especially, in absence of relevant economic news from the US.

Metals
The Gold Analyst offers quality technical and fundamental analysis of the price of gold to help educate readers in their investment decisions. In the future, will digital currencies (when combined to physical gold or physical silver) offer a new opportunity for re-inventing the old banking system? The precious metal also draws support from the reports that China has granted permission to its domestic and international banks to import large amounts of gold into the country.
Western world governments were issuing credit notes ‘paper money’ by the 1700s, with these notes backed by a ratio of gold and silver. less The debate between relatively new digital cryptocurrencies versus ‘tried and true’ gold has dominated most precious metals related websites. We offer mass affluent, HNW, UHNW and institutional investors including family offices, gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion in London, Zurich, Singapore, Hong Kong, Perth and soon Dubai. Also, notes which could not be converted into the hard asset, usually silver or gold, were considered fraudulent.
For instance, the US government halted notes backed by gold as well as silver during the American civil war.

Oil
Oil prices have risen over the past week due to a rosier demand outlook. Pent-up demand for goods and services and the distribution of stimulus checks may continue to underpin crude oil prices. Therefore, a worsening pandemic situation in the country may dampen the global oil demand outlook. Uneven vaccine rollouts around the world, ongoing Iran nuclear talks and climbing coronavirus cases in India render oil prices susceptible to profit-taking. Traders are waiting for fresh catalysts to support oil’s rally after prices registered their largest weekly gain since early March.
The combination of higher oil prices and higher rates in Norway is why we hold our view for EURNOK coming further below 10.00 towards and over the summer. Oil prices were lower, weighed by demand concerns. End in sight The unprecedented build-up of oil inventories during Covid-19 lockdowns last year is almost gone. India is the world’s third-largest oil-importing country and it consumes nearly 10% of global crude oil exports.
Moreover, the vaccines and the following global recovery should give a boost to the oil price, as they have done so far.

The housing market is crucial to every economy, as evidenced by the fact that the 2008-2009 global financial crisis started with the US housing market.

Five- and seven-year maturities saw strong demand, suggesting aggressive bets on Fed rate hikes seen earlier in the year were being pared back. Wall Street futures eased after the S&P 500 and the Dow closed at record highs in the previous session, while investors geared up for quarterly earnings reports.
