Market Recap 

XAUUSD 
XAUUSD traversed a 364.63-point session range, equal to 7.54% of the open, marking an early high at 04:41 of 4867.23 before driving to a low of 4502.6 at 16:02 that set fresh 5‑day and 10‑day lows, and it settled at 4656.87. The contract opened at 4833.88 and finished down 177.01 points, or -3.66% on the day. The sequence of extremes was high before low, with price lifting above 4850 in the early hours, slipping back under 4800, then extending through 4700 and briefly testing the 4500 area, before a partial late-session rebound to close under 4700. The settlement was positioned in the lower half of the day’s range, around 42% of the distance up from the low and 58% below the high, indicating that the late recovery did not retrace the earlier downside extension. Round-number levels featured repeatedly: the market started near 4800, approached 4600 during the descent, printed just above 4500 at the trough, and ended near 4650. On higher timeframes, the daily close remained beneath the 50‑day simple moving average at 4980.51 and below the 20‑day simple moving average and Bollinger midline, both at 5077.57. On H4, the MACD signal was -85.74. The day’s low registered a multi-session mark while the overall structure reflected an early rally, a prolonged decline into mid-afternoon, and a modest recovery into the close. 

EURUSD 
EURUSD finished the session at 1.1587, up 0.0137 or 1.20% from the 1.1450 open. Price marked a low at 1.1442 at 11:42 server time before advancing to a high of 1.1616 at 22:08, establishing a fresh 5‑day high and a 0.0173 intraday range, equivalent to 1.51% of the open. The close was 0.0029 beneath the high, leaving it near the upper end of the day’s range after a low‑before‑high sequence. Trading engaged several round figures: the session began around 1.1450, recovered through 1.1500 during the day, and briefly traded above 1.1600 before settling just under that handle. On the higher timeframes, the session high coincided with the D1 EMA21 at 1.1615, while D1 MACD printed −0.01. On H4, RSI‑14 was 57.7. The structure showed early weakness around the open and morning hours, followed by steady gains into the evening, with the final print holding well above mid‑range. Range expansion was moderate against the open, and the finish near the top of the band underscored the late‑session retention of levels above 1.1550. No further multi‑day extremes were flagged beyond the new 5‑day high, and there were no subsequent retests of the session low after it formed. By the close, EURUSD remained within sight of 1.1600 and close to the cited daily moving average reference, with indicators on the higher timeframes positioned as noted. 

USOIL 
USOIL covered an 8.33 range in the session, equal to 8.41% of the opening price and about 79.4% of the current D1 ATR. It opened at 99.04, advanced into the evening to mark the high at 100.92 at 18:50—testing the $100 handle—then fell to the low at 92.59 at 22:11. By the close it settled at 94.97, a decline of 4.07 on the day (-4.11%). The close sat closer to the session low than the high and nearer the $90 handle than $100, with the nearest $10 handle to settlement being $90. From the open, the intraday rise to the high totaled 1.88, while the retreat from the high to the low accounted for the full 8.33 peak‑to‑trough span, leaving settlement above the trough but well below the earlier high. On the higher time frame, the H4 21‑period EMA was at 96.17, placing the close beneath that reference level. The day’s peak remained below the recent 5‑day high at 102.02, and the brief excursion above $100 was not held into the close. Overall, trading showed a high‑then‑low sequence, with the top registered at 18:50, the trough posted at 22:11, and the finish in the lower portion of the range after a late push to the day’s extreme. 

Economic Calendar Recap & Preview 

Policy settings stayed steady from Tokyo to London while US labor data surprised firmer. The Bank of Japan kept its policy rate unchanged at 0.75 percent, the same as previously, and the Bank of England left Bank Rate at 3.75 percent, also unchanged from the prior reading. In the United States, Initial Jobless Claims fell to 205,000, from 213,000 previously and below the 218,000 forecast, pointing to a still-tight labor market backdrop. Looking ahead to the next 24 hours, the euro area Producer Price Index month over month is due at 07:00 server time; economists look for 0.0 percent after a 0.6 percent decline previously. If the PPI print exceeds the flat forecast, it would suggest firmer pipeline price pressures that could nudge policy-rate expectations. With a light calendar otherwise, attention may concentrate on the PPI release itself, which could briefly stir EUR rates and FX volatility around the publication time.
