For currency markets, given that there is little to get excited about on the economic calendar, the focus will remain on risk sentiment for guidance.

GOLD/SILVER TECHNICAL OUTLOOK:
• Gold took a hit yesterday, seen as heading lower some more
• Silver remains stuck in a downtrend
Last week, gold hit resistance and only stayed up against it for a day or so; the low 1830s turned out to be too much for gold to climb through. Yesterday brought some heavy selling that is seen as only the beginning of a bout of weakness.
We may see a little reprieve in the near-term, perhaps trading back around the 200-day at 1808 aga

KEY TALKING POINTS:
XAU/USD is holding to its bullish trendline but key resistance lies ahead
Gold has lacked momentum so far in September
Gold (XAU/USD) is starting to look a little feverish once again despite managing to pull higher at the end of last week. The pullback over the last two sessions is not yet overextended and is still likely to offer new buyers a better chance to get in, but there isn’t much wiggle room left before the outlook starts to look slight
GBP PRICE, NEWS AND ANALYSIS:
GBP/USD could come under downward pressure after its recent advance as UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson faces a backlash from within his own ruling Conservative Party to plans to increase National Insurance to pay for health and social care.
The move would break a Conservative manifesto pledge and bring politics back into play as a factor affecting the Pound, particularly after a report that Johnson plans an October “firebreak” Covid lockdown.
