Today’s focus includes Gold, Oil, USDJPY, EURUSD, US30, NAS100, SPX500, HKG33, JPN225, AI Stocks, Nvidia, AMD, Tesla, Alphabet, Intel, Bitcoin and Crypto.

🟡 GOLD WATCH — XAUUSD
Quick view:
Gold gained around 0.2% and traded near $4,080 as the U.S. dollar and short-term Treasury yields eased.

Key levels to watch:
$4,050 support / $4,080 pivot area / $4,100-$4,120 resistance

Why watch it?
Gold remains sensitive to USD direction, Treasury yields, U.S. employment data and geopolitical risk.

Softer ADP employment or services data may support Gold, while stronger hiring and service-sector price pressure may limit upside momentum.

🔥 OIL WATCH — WTI / BRENT
Quick view:
Brent fell around 5.3% to $79.36, while WTI dropped around 5.7% to $75.77.

Key levels to watch:
Brent $79-$80 nearby area / $77 support / $82 resistance
WTI $75-$76 nearby area / $73 support / $78 resistance

Why watch it?
Oil fell as U.S. and Qatari officials reported progress toward a potential agreement involving Iran and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

Risk to watch:
EIA inventories and confirmation, delay or failure of negotiations may trigger fast price reversals.

💵 FX WATCH — USDJPY / EURUSD
USDJPY
Quick view:
USDJPY moved modestly higher as the yen weakened around 0.4%, with the pair near 157.80.

Key levels to watch:
157.00 support / 158.00 pivot / 160.00 psychological resistance

Why watch it?
USDJPY remains highly sensitive to follow-up intervention, Bank of Japan guidance and U.S. Treasury yields.

EURUSD
Quick view:
EURUSD moved slightly higher as the U.S. dollar index eased around 0.1%.

Key levels to watch:
1.1500 support / 1.1550 pivot / 1.1600 resistance

📈 US INDEX WATCH — US30 / NAS100 / SPX500
Quick view:
Dow +1.71%
S&P 500 +1.79%
Nasdaq +2.59%

Key levels to watch:
US30 54,000 nearby area
SPX500 7,700-7,750 area
NAS100 26,500-27,000 area

Why watch it?
Strong earnings forecasts and lower Oil prices helped the Dow and S&P 500 reach new record closing levels.

ADP employment, ISM Services, Treasury yields and AMD’s post-earnings reaction may determine whether the rally can extend.

🤖 AI STOCKS WATCH — AMD / NVIDIA / SEMICONDUCTORS
Quick view:
AI and semiconductor shares strengthened during the regular session, but AMD fell approximately 9% after hours.

AMD reported record quarterly revenue and data-centre sales that more than doubled, but investors had already priced in very strong growth.

Key focus:
• AMD post-earnings reaction
• Data-centre revenue and AI GPU demand
• Gross margins and forward guidance
• Nvidia momentum
• Semiconductor-sector breadth
• NAS100 follow-through

Why watch it?
AMD’s results remain supportive of long-term AI infrastructure demand, but the negative share-price reaction shows that valuation and execution expectations remain high.

The reaction may influence Nvidia, chip suppliers and broader technology sentiment.

🔎 TESLA / ALPHABET / INTEL
Broader technology sentiment remained positive, but investors continue to distinguish between companies converting AI spending into near-term revenue and those facing pressure from capital requirements, margins or execution risk.

Key areas to watch:
Tesla AI-chip strategy / Alphabet cloud and AI spending / Intel foundry and manufacturing progress

🌏 ASIA INDEX WATCH — HKG33 / JPN225
HKG33
Quick view:
HKG33 declined around 0.6% during the previous Asian session.

Key levels to watch:
25,500 support / 26,000 pivot / 26,500 resistance

JPN225
Quick view:
JPN225 declined around 0.9% and closed near 63,755.

Key levels to watch:
63,000 support / 63,750 pivot / 64,500 resistance

Why watch Asia?
HKG33 remains linked to China growth expectations and global technology sentiment.

JPN225 remains highly sensitive to yen volatility, Japanese bond yields and semiconductor performance.

₿ CRYPTO WATCH — BITCOIN
Quick view:
Bitcoin gained around 0.9% and traded near $64,060.

Key levels to watch:
$63,000 support / $64,000 pivot / $65,000 psychological resistance

Why watch it?
Crypto remains linked to NAS100 momentum, USD liquidity and Treasury yields.

ADP employment, ISM Services and AMD’s earnings reaction may influence short-term risk appetite.
