As investors concentrate on energy markets, fintech expansion, healthcare demand, and speculative technology themes, Petrobras, Circle Internet Group, Figure technology Solutions, Inc., Hims & Hers Health, Inc., and Rigetti Computing, Inc. dominate Monday’s results agenda.
CPI Report Becomes Critical This Week
This week’s U.S. inflation data could become the next major catalyst for gold markets.
Key Economic Data This Week
U.S. CPI (Tuesday):
- Headline CPI expected at 0.6% M/M
- Core CPI expected at 0.4% M/M
- U.S. PPI (Wednesday):
- Expected at 0.4% M/M
Investors remain highly focused on whether higher energy prices and geopolitical disruptions are feeding into broader inflation pressures. March CPI already showed inflation accelerating to its highest annual pace since May 2024, driven largely by surging gasoline prices.
If inflation data surprises to the upside again, markets may further reduce expectations for rate cuts, potentially adding additional pressure on gold in the near term.
Earnings Calendar Highlights Monday
Monday’s earnings calendar combines several high-volatility themes across energy, crypto infrastructure, fintech, healthcare technology, and quantum computing. Petrobras could provide insight into the global energy outlook amid geopolitical uncertainty, while Circle and Figure may offer a broader read on digital finance adoption.
Meanwhile, Hims & Hers and Rigetti will test investor appetite for growth-oriented and speculative sectors, particularly as markets remain highly sensitive to interest rates, inflation expectations, and risk sentiment.

Gold Returns to $4,500
Although demand for safe haven assets is still high, gold fell precipitously from record highs following the Fed’s most recent rate cut comments, as profit-taking was prompted by Powell’s cautious tone. In December, gold jumped above $4,380 following the Federal Reserve’s announcement of a 25 basis point rate decrease. But the impetus soon waned, and prices dropped back to $4,004. The 20o daily SMA (red) held as support this week and buyers returned and pushed XAU above the $4,800 and above the 100 SMA (green).
USD/JPY Rebounds
Foreign exchange markets saw sharp swings. Early in the week, U.S. yield differentials and Japanese capital outflows pushed the dollar above ¥150, but disappointing U.S. jobs data triggered profit-taking, causing the USD/JPY to slide by four yen from its peak. However, the new BOJ governor the JPY has weakened and USD/JPY soared to 154 and we decided to close our buy signal for more than 80 pips as the pair found support at the 20 daily SMA (gray) and has rebounded more than 200 pips off that MA but reversed after the 25 bps rate cut from the FED. The price approached $160 but reversed after the BOJ meeting and fell 8 cents but found support at $152 at the 100 daily SMA (red) and rebounded above 156 but have reversed down again this week after the Japanese elections.

Cryptocurrency Update
Bitcoin Returns Above $80K
Cryptocurrencies remained highly active over the summer. Bitcoin (BTC) climbed to fresh highs of $123,000 and $124,000 in July and August, supported by institutional inflows and technical strength. However, remarks from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ruling out U.S. increases to BTC reserves triggered a steep pullback, sending the coin down to $80K before finding support at the 100 weekly SMA (green). A rebound followed, sending BTC near $100 is the first major text for Bitcoin buyers. However BTC returned lower and fell below $80K, breaking below the but the 100 weekly SMA (green) but the decline stopped at the $60K support where the 200 weekly SMA (purple) stands and rebounded above $76K but returned to $70K again.
BTC/USD – Daily Chart
Ethereum Returns to $2,000
Ethereum (ETH) has been similarly strong, surging toward $4,800, its highest since 2021 and near its all-time peak of $4,860. Despite a dip last week, ETH found support at the 20-day SMA, with retail enthusiasm and renewed institutional participation driving fresh upside momentum. Last week we saw a dive below $2,000 but buyers returned n d pushed the price above $2K again.
