This week we look at going long gold, as the price rebounds from some recent losses.
(AI video summary)
Previous GBP/USD trading outcome
In this week's IG "Trade of the week", Chris Beauchamp discusses the previous and upcoming trades. Last week's recommendation of going long on GBP/USD was stopped out early due to increased market volatility and hitting a stop loss at 1.27. Despite this, signs suggest GBP/USD might still be trending upwards if it crosses the 50-day moving average.
This week's trading opportunity
This week, focus shifts to going long on gold, motivated by recent bounces near the 50-day moving average, with a target price of 24.83 and a stop at 23.73, considering gold's recent peak and consistent volatility. Upcoming UK and US inflation data could impact market conditions, suggesting traders stay vigilant.
