AI-mania is still powering the likes of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 to never-seen-before levels. Tomorrow's US jobs report should determine even greater heights, or a pullback, are warranted before the weekend.

This Week: EURUSD could see one of its biggest daily moves of the year!

BRN to recover above 21-period SMA (~$82.793/bbl)?

BRN bulls are attempting to recover from yesterday's (May 30th) sharp slide following comments from US Fed officials. An unexpected rise in the EIA gasoline stock change (+2.022M vs. 0.40M expected) also weighed on oil prices, suggesting weaker demand ahead of the key summer driving season in the US.

GOLD consolidates under 21-period SMA ahead of US PCE reading

PCE reading (the Fed's preferred way of measuring inflation) could potentially influence the Fed's interest rate decision at the next meeting. Higher for longer interest rates could contribute to the rise of the US dollar, pushing the price of the zero-yielding metal lower.
