Core market data
| Asset | Latest | Change | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| XAU/USD | 3,999.10 | -1.00 | Gold trades at 3,999.10; if it keeps holding above 3,999.10, a repair window remains open despite rate pressure, while only a return toward 4,000.10 would show stronger buying control.

|
| DXY | 101.28 | +0.33% | DXY is at 101.28 and remains close to the top of its verified band; a push back toward 101.28 would keep major FX under pressure.

|
| EUR/USD | 1.1384 | +0.01% | EUR/USD is at 1.1384; holding 1.1383 leaves rebound room, while sustained trade near 1.1384 would show broader dollar easing.

| GBP/USD | 1.3347 | 0.00% | GBP/USD is at 1.3347 and still inside a tight rebound lane; a slip back below 1.3347 would cool the overnight repair.

Market recap
The core message has shifted from a quiet weekend window to a CPI-waiting setup. Official Treasury yields remain elevated, DXY is still holding above 101, and gold is trading under its previous close anyway, which shows that the market has not settled on a one-way inflation outcome yet.
1Official yields stayed elevated
The latest H.15 issue keeps the 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields in a high zone, so rate pressure remains relevant going into the inflation print.
2CPI is now the near-term anchor
U.S. June CPI is due tonight at 20:30 Beijing time, making pre-release positioning more important than extrapolating stale weekend snapshots.
Event analysis
1Gold is still under pre-CPI pressure
If gold only stabilizes above support without reclaiming resistance before CPI, the move still looks more defensive than trend-confirming.
2EUR and GBP remain constrained by the dollar frame
Neither pair has escaped its verified lower trading area, which suggests dollar leadership has not been broken yet.
3USD/JPY is now in the four-panel focus set
The pair remains above 161 and close to its 52-week high, so it deserves more attention than AUD/USD as a policy-sensitive instrument.
Market dynamics
USD
Still firm, with CPI now the main test of leadership.
Gold
Still below the previous close and tied to inflation and real-yield expectations.
Major FX
Pre-CPI positioning matters more than chasing a weekend snapshot into a trend call.
Data analysis and cross-asset view
1The time stamps are not synchronous
Gold, DXY, FX pairs and Treasury yields come from different fixed pages and publication times, so the report compares them conditionally rather than tick-for-tick.
2Charts use local reference paths
The four-panel grid is generated directly from daily.json chart_series rather than from webpage screenshots.
Cross-asset performance
Economic calendar
| Time | Region | Event | Previous | Focus | Importance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-07-14 20:30 | United States | Consumer Price Index for June 2026 | Lich chinh thuc | The top-tier near-term catalyst for gold, DXY and the dollar majors. | ★★★★★ |
| 2026-07-14 20:30 | United States | Real Earnings for June 2026 | Lich chinh thuc | Released with CPI and useful as supporting context for inflation-adjusted income trends. | ★★★ |
| 2026-07-15 20:30 | United States | Producer Price Index for June 2026 | Lich chinh thuc | The follow-through inflation print that can extend or reverse the CPI-driven rates move. | ★★★★★ |
| 2026-07-16 22:00 | United States | Prototype Estimates of State Personal Income for 2025 | Lich chinh thuc | This sits within the next 48-hour window but has limited direct FX or gold impact relative to CPI and PPI. | ★★ |
Key technical table
Ranges use verified fixed-page references and intraday bands; confirm live prices and spreads before acting.
| Asset | Focus range | Resistance | Support | Logic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DXY | 100.79-101.33 | 101.28 / 101.33 / 101.80 | 100.95 / 100.79 | Watch whether 100.95 keeps holding first; a retest of 101.28-101.33 would strengthen the dollar backdrop again. |
| EUR/USD | 1.1380-1.1390 | 1.1384 / 1.1390 | 1.1383 / 1.1380 | If EUR/USD holds 1.1383 and 1.1380, it can still look toward 1.1384-1.1390; otherwise the dollar regains control. |
| GBP/USD | 1.3345-1.3372 | 1.3372 | 1.3347 / 1.3345 | Sterling is relatively steady, but only sustained trade above 1.3372 would make the rebound more credible. |
| USD/JPY | 162.35-162.50 | 162.50 / 162.85 | 162.35 / 162.42 | USD/JPY has been promoted into today's four-panel hot set; if it keeps holding above 162.35 and moves back toward 162.50, the market will keep treating it as a policy-sensitive asset. |
| AUD/USD | 0.6915-0.6927 | 0.6921 / 0.6927 | 0.6919 / 0.6915 | AUD/USD stays in the full technical table but is not in today's four-panel hot set; only a retest of 0.6921 would justify revisiting its priority. |
| XAU/USD | 3,985.70-4,103.30 | 4,000.10 / 4,103.30 | 3,999.10 / 3,985.70 | Gold first needs 3,999.10 to keep absorbing pressure; only a move back above 4,103.30 would restore a fuller upside structure. |
Major macro events
| Time | Region | Event | Impact | Importance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-07-14 04:15 | United States | Federal Reserve H.15 Selected Interest Rates update | The curve remained elevated into the CPI/PPI window, keeping rate-sensitive pressure on gold and non-USD majors. | ★★★★ |
| 2026-07-14 20:30 | Market | U.S. CPI enters the same-day release window | June CPI is due tonight Beijing time and is the dominant event risk for DXY, gold and the major FX pairs. | ★★★★ |
| 2026-07-15 20:30 | Market | U.S. PPI remains inside the next 48-hour inflation window | PPI follows CPI by one day, so any CPI-driven rates move can be reinforced or challenged quickly. | ★★★★ |
Actionable scenario framework
Conditional market scenarios only, not trade instructions. Confirm every trigger against live platform prices.
| Event | Trigger | Confirmation | Invalidation | Impact path |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-CPI dollar pressure eases | DXY slips below 100.95 while EUR/USD keeps holding 1.1383. | Gold re-approaches 4,000.10 while USD/JPY does not push back toward 162.85. | DXY returns toward 101.33. | If the dollar cools before CPI, gold and the European currencies gain a cleaner repair window, but the move should still be treated as event-risk positioning rather than a settled trend. |
| Dollar strength reasserts before CPI | DXY keeps holding above 100.95 while USD/JPY moves back toward 162.85. | EUR/USD and GBP/USD both fade back toward their first supports while gold loses 3,999.10. | The dollar index drops back toward 100.79. | This would reinforce a defend-against-inflation-risk-first framework, pushing gold back toward pressured consolidation and putting major FX under renewed dollar leadership. |
