XAUUSD
XAUUSD traded around the 4000 figure on Monday, settling at 4000.63, up 10.42 or 0.261% on the day. The session opened at 3990.21 and ranged 67.93 points, equivalent to 1.7% of the open. Price set the low early at 3962.75 at 02:20, then moved higher into the afternoon to print the session high at 4030.68 at 17:14 before easing back into the close. The finish sat near the middle of the day’s range and $0.63 above the 4000 handle, with that round number featuring throughout the session. On the intraday technical backdrop, the high extended above the H4 50-period simple moving average at 4023.51 and the H1 20-period simple moving average at 4010.01, while the close remained below both of those reference lines. On a higher timeframe, daily RSI14 was 37.9. The session included an early probe into the 3960s before a recovery through the 4000 handle and a brief excursion into the 4030s, followed by a pullback that left the market just above the 4000 mark by 23:57. Measured from the low to the close, the market reclaimed 37.88 points, while the distance from the close to the high was 30.05 points, underscoring a mid-range finish. No tick volume data were available. The session’s high-water mark came after the European afternoon, while the trough was registered shortly after the open, framing a day that traversed the key 4000 round level multiple times before ending marginally above it.

EURUSD
EURUSD traversed a 0.0036 session range from 1.15406 to 1.15046 and settled lower on the day. The session opened at 1.15275 and printed the high at 08:39 before slipping to the low at 16:32; the close at 1.15169 left the pair down 0.00106, a decline of 0.092% from the open. The intraday range equated to 0.31% of the opening level and was about 69% of the 14‑day daily ATR of 0.0052. Price action remained above the 1.1500 figure, with the low stopping at 1.15046, and the close sat in the lower half of the day’s range and below the open. The sequence saw early strength into the European morning high, followed by a move lower into the US afternoon trough, with no subsequent retest of the intraday high. The 16:32 low registered fresh 5‑day and 10‑day lows, marking the weakest print of the past one and two weeks. Into the bell, EURUSD was trading roughly 0.00123 above the session low and 0.00237 below the session high, underscoring a finish nearer the bottom of the day’s distribution. On the higher timeframe, the day’s realized range stayed below the recent average as referenced by the D1 ATR, while the new multi‑day lows added to the short‑term downside markers on the daily chart without a breach of the 1.1500 big figure.

AUDUSD
AUDUSD carved out a 25.3-pip session, opening at 0.65409 and closing at 0.65486, a gain of 0.00077 or 0.118%, with price traveling 0.39% of the open. The day’s low was set early at 0.65364 at 00:41, followed by the high at 0.65617 at 07:38, marking a low-before-high progression. The high briefly pushed through the 0.6560 figure and came in line with the D1 50-day SMA at 0.65613, while the downside printed below 0.6540 before recovering. The session midpoint was 0.65491, and the close landed just below it, leaving AUDUSD near the middle of the intraday range by the end of the window. Trading repeatedly engaged round levels, with activity around 0.6550 and tests on either side of 0.6560 and 0.6540. On the intraday backdrop, the H1 20-period SMA at 0.65459 was in play, with the close marginally above that measure. On the higher timeframe, the daily 50-day SMA at 0.65613 capped the session’s peak, and spot finished below that average. The daily RSI(14) printed 63.1, situating momentum above a neutral 50 reading on that timeframe without resolving the relationship to the 50-day average. In terms of structure, the early dip set the floor, an advance carried price to the morning high, and a subsequent pullback left the market consolidating into the close near mid-range, with net gains on the day and a contained distance between extremes relative to the open.

The only available print was the U.S. S&P Global Manufacturing PMI at 52.5. Looking ahead, the focus is the RBA interest rate decision at 06:30 server time; the policy rate previously stood at 3.6 percent. A higher policy rate would generally restrain demand and cool inflation, and AUD as well as front-end rates may be volatile around the announcement. Later in the day, at 00:00 server time, RBNZ Governor Orr speaks, a touchpoint that can shape expectations for the New Zealand policy outlook.
