Nevertheless, the precious metal continues to trade over 5% below year-to-date highs and struggles to produce a bigger move in either direction. FOMC minutes released on Wednesday, 7:00 pm BST is a key macro report for gold traders next week. Some Fed members hinted that taper discussions have already begun and minutes release may show confirmation.
DE30
Unlike their US peers, stock market indices from Europe struggle to reach fresh all-time highs. DE30 has been stuck in a 15,500-15,700 pts trading range for over a week now and looks to be waiting for a catalyst for the next big move. Such a catalyst may surface from German data scheduled for the next week - factory orders (Tuesday, 7:00 am BST), ZEW (Tuesday, 10:00 am BST) and industrial production (Wednesday, 7:00 am BST). On top of that, European Commission will publish a new set of economic forecasts on Wednesday.
USDCAD
FOMC minutes on Wednesday may have an impact on the US dollar but USDCAD currency pair will also get a chance to move on Friday during release of Canadian labour market data for June (1:30 pm BST). Report is expected to show a third month of declining employment in a row. CAD has been benefiting from higher oil prices but recent USD strengthening has capped gains. Another weak jobs report from Canada may exert more pressure on CAD.
