Market Recap 

XAUUSD+ 
XAUUSD opened at the session low of 4744.73 at 01:00 and advanced over the course of the day to a 5-day high of 4846.29 at 23:01, settling at 4840.63 for a gain of 95.9, or 2.02%. The intraday range measured 101.56, equal to 2.14% of the open, with the close just 5.7 below the high and positioned near the top of the day’s span. Price traded above the 4800 round handle into the latter part of the session and finished 40.6 above it, while the low remained anchored at the opening print. On higher timeframes, the close sits below the D1 50‑SMA at 4901.5 and above the H4 50‑SMA at 4727.41; the daily MACD signal registered -62.0. The session’s realized range was narrower than the D1 14‑day ATR of 135.68, amounting to roughly three‑quarters of that benchmark. Structurally, the market established its low immediately at the start and posted the high late in the session, leaving the settlement close to the day’s peak; the new 5‑day high was set less than an hour before the session ended at 23:57. The close remained below the D1 50‑SMA by about 60.9 while holding above the H4 50‑SMA and the 4800 handle, and the high also stayed beneath the D1 50‑SMA level. Overall, the session featured a low‑to‑high progression within a contained range relative to the recent daily volatility. 

DJ30 
DJ30 finished the session at 48612.18, up 360.15 points or 0.746%, after traversing a 456.30-point range that equated to 0.95% of the open. Trading began at 48252.03 and moved down to the session low of 48179.18 at 13:44; from there it advanced into the evening, crossing the 48600 handle and printing the day’s high at 48635.48 at 22:32. The close occurred near the upper end of the range, around 23 points below the peak, and in proximity to the nearest hundred level at 48600. The intraday sequence featured an initial dip from the open to a single low set mid-session, followed by higher prices into the final hour without a retest of the 13:44 trough. On the higher-timeframe backdrop, price action remained above the H4 21‑EMA at 48093.73 throughout, with both the open and the low holding above that reference. The push to 48635.48 established new 5‑day and 10‑day highs, while the recent 10‑day low stands at 45869.68. Round-number behavior was evident as a 100‑point handle was crossed and the contract held above 48600 into the close, with the session high registered just above that level. By the end of trading at 23:59, the index sat near the top of the day’s span; tick volume was not provided. 

Economic Calendar Recap & Preview 

A light calendar put the focus on U.S. producer prices: PPI rose 0.5 percent month over month, easing from 0.7 percent previously and coming in below the 0.9 percent forecast, offering a softer read on pipeline price pressures. Looking ahead, the next 24 hours center on energy balances and U.K. policy signaling. At 17:30, the EIA Crude Oil Stocks Change is expected to show a 9.76 million‑barrel build after a 3.08 million increase last week; a larger-than-expected build typically weighs on crude prices and can ease headline inflation impulses. At 18:50, Bank of England Governor Bailey speaks, with markets attentive to any guidance on the policy outlook ahead of upcoming data and meetings. Brief volatility is possible around the EIA release and Bailey’s remarks, particularly in energy-linked assets and GBP.
