🟡 GOLD WATCH — XAUUSD
Quick view:
Gold fell around 0.3% and traded near $4,030 as strong U.S. manufacturing activity and elevated Treasury yields limited demand.

Key levels to watch:
$4,000 psychological support / $4,030 nearby level / $4,080-$4,100 resistance

Why watch it?
Gold remains sensitive to USD direction, Treasury yields and U.S. labour-market conditions.

Softer JOLTS data may support Gold, while stronger job openings or higher yields may keep pressure on prices.

🔥 OIL WATCH — WTI / BRENT
Quick view:
Brent fell around 4.7% to approximately $83.77 as markets reduced part of the Middle East supply-risk premium.

WTI also moved sharply lower toward the $78-$80 area.
Key levels to watch:
Brent $84 nearby level / $82 support / $86-$88 resistance
WTI $80 psychological area / $78 support

Why watch it?
Oil remains highly sensitive to U.S.-Iran headlines and shipping conditions around the region.

Confirmation of negotiations may keep prices under pressure, while renewed escalation may produce rapid reversals.

💵 FX WATCH — USDJPY / EURUSD
USDJPY
Quick view:
USDJPY stabilised after the recent intervention-driven decline but remained highly volatile.

Key levels to watch:
156.00 support / 158.00 pivot area / 160.00 resistance

Why watch it?
Further intervention-related comments, stronger U.S. labour data or changes in Treasury yields may cause sharp movement.

EURUSD
Quick view:
EURUSD remained range-bound as strong U.S. manufacturing data offset reduced safe-haven USD demand.

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

📈 US INDEX WATCH — US30 / NAS100 / SPX500
Quick view:
Dow +1.3%
S&P 500 +1.5%
Nasdaq +2.1%

Key levels to watch:
US30 53,000-53,200 area
SPX500 7,600 area
NAS100 25,800-26,000 area

Why watch it?
Falling Oil prices reduced inflation concerns, while stronger U.S. manufacturing and gains in Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet and Nvidia supported equities.

JOLTS data and AMD earnings may determine whether the rebound can continue.

🤖 AI STOCKS WATCH — AMD / Nvidia / Semiconductors
Quick view:
AI and Big Tech sentiment improved, although the rebound remained uneven across the semiconductor sector.

Key focus:
• AMD Q2 earnings after market close
• Data-centre and EPYC server demand
• AI GPU revenue and margins
• Nvidia momentum
• Semiconductor-sector breadth
• AMD Helios and MI450 guidance

Why watch it?
AMD earnings may provide an important signal on AI accelerator demand, cloud infrastructure spending and competition with Nvidia.

Strong guidance may support NAS100 and semiconductor stocks, while weaker margins or AI revenue may renew valuation concerns.

🔎 TESLA / ALPHABET / INTEL
Alphabet gained around 1.7%, while Intel and parts of the hardware sector remained under pressure.

Investors continue to distinguish between companies demonstrating direct AI-related revenue and those facing pressure from high spending, margins or execution risk.

🌏 ASIA INDEX WATCH — HKG33 / JPN225
HKG33
Quick view:
The Hang Seng gained around 0.5% and traded near 26,000.

Quick view:
Japan’s index fell around 0.9%-1.2% and traded near 63,500.

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

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

JPN225 remains highly sensitive to USDJPY, intervention risk and the effect of a stronger yen on exporters.

₿ CRYPTO WATCH — BITCOIN
Quick view:
Bitcoin traded near $63,500 after moving within approximately $62,800-$64,000.

Key levels to watch:
$62,500-$63,000 support / $64,000 resistance / $65,000 psychological resistance

Why watch it?
Crypto remained less responsive than equities to lower Oil prices and improved risk appetite.

JOLTS data, Treasury yields and technology earnings may influence liquidity expectations.
