Crude subdued with continued focus on geopolitics, USD lower into PPI & Executive Orders
Good morning USA traders, hope your day is off to a great start! Here are the top 5Â things you need to know for today’s market.
5 Things You Need to Know
US President Trump did not sign reciprocal tariffs order on Wednesday after stating that he may, while the White House schedule showed President Trump is to sign executive orders on Thursday at 13:00EST/18:00GMT.
Stocks mostly firmer on constructive geopolitical updates; US futures are mixed ahead of PPI.
USD softer as markets weigh potential Ukraine peace deal and lack of reciprocal tariffs (so far).
Bonds attempt to recoup CPI-driven losses into PPI though geopols is capping.
Crude continues the Russia/Ukraine downside seen in the prior session; reports suggested
Israel/Hamas had come to an understanding, but this was subsequently denied by Israeli PM Netanyahu’s Office.
A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
Talks to end the Ukraine war have partly cut across the hot U.S. inflation report for world markets, reining in both oil prices and capping aggravated U.S. borrowing rates – while also lifting the euro and European shares.
Morning Bid: Peace and prices – inflation vies with Ukraine talks
It is rare that we like toi give ourselves credit but I poated this article nearly 3 weeks ago and it took time for the markets to catch up to my puzzle.
Is the Trump Effect Impacting the EURUSD and the DAX?
Here is a question? Why has the EURUSD recovered and DAX at record levels given the risk of Trump tariffs. prospect of lower interest rates, an underperforming German economy and political uncertainty in Germany (and France)?
XAUUSD 4 HOUR CHART –  Watch 2900

Failure to test 2952 (low 2963) gas contained the retracement and move back above 2909 has cooled the risk.
So choice is consolidation between 2863-2942 or a fresh run at the high.
In any case 2900 will likely be pivotal in setting the trading bias.
Intra-day, 2922 has so far capped the upside.
Using my platform as a HEATMAP

Focus on EURUSD and hopes for an end to the Ukraine war….So, another day of headline roulette where EURUSD should find support below the market.
USDSJPY, as suggested yesterday, found 155 too tough.
Data focus on PPI after hotter CPI yesterday.
Other focus today will be on whether Trump announces details on reciprocal tariffs.
After a day of news headlines and whipsaw price action, this article is worth your attention as you get ready for another headline day.
Do you ever wonder what is behind market reactions to headline news?
Robinhood Markets Inc. – HOOD
Is this frenzy coming to the end?
Robinhood posts record profit as post-election trading frenzy lifts volumes
Trading platform Robinhood HOOD reported a surge in fourth-quarter profit on Wednesday, fueled by frenetic activity in equity and crypto markets following Donald Trump’s presidential election victory.
Robinhood’s transaction-based revenue, or income generated from fees for facilitating trading in options, cryptocurrency and equities, in the quarter jumped 236% to $672 million from a year earlier.
Nearly half of those gains came from a 700% rise in revenue related to crypto trading as bitcoin continued its rapid march towards the $100,000 mark during the quarter on hopes of favorable policies under the new Trump administration.

OpenDoor Technologies Inc – OPEN
Morgan Stanley Cuts Price Target on Opendoor Technologies to $2 From $3, Keeps Equalweight Rating
Opendoor Technologies OPEN has an average rating of hold and mean price target of $1.77, according to analysts polled by FactSet
Technically OPEN might start having a chance for turnaround.
1.30 has to hold for the sunshine to come…

BTCUSD – Bitcoin
Has the time come for Bitcoin to surge again?
Supports: 96.610, 95.500 & 94.000
Resistances: 97.715, 98.550 & 100.200
Even the blind chicken would see that BTC has found a support above 95.000 and now only question that remains is if/when it is going to start rallying again.
Next 48h it should happen if nothing unexpected happens ( like someone talks in his sleep, someone else wants a world peace suddenly and so on – however it is not the news, but how the market will digest it…)

XAUUSD – Gold
Is Gold ready for a correction?
Supports: 2885.00, 2865.00 & 2835.00
Resistances: 2910.00, 2940.00 & 2965.00
Time wise – to be able to continue reaching new highs it has to go over previous high in next 4 days.
Pattern wise – it might be ready to go into correction – depending on fundamentals/news in coming days correction can be shallow – till around 2825.00 or a deeper one all the way to 2750.00
