Gold (XAU/USD): Overstretched uptrend, risk of minor pull-back below $4,012
Gold (XAU/USD) extended its seven-week rally to a new all-time high of US$4,059, gaining 8.5% since late September. Supported by sticky U.S. inflation and growing fiscal concerns driving the “debasement trade,” the yellow metal’s major uptrend remains intact. However, momentum signals now suggest the rally is overstretched, with risks of a short-term pullback below US$4,012 before the next potential bullish leg resumes.

US stocks sector divergence raises red flags
US equities have extended their record-setting run, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq posting new highs. Yet, the rally’s foundations are uneven — the Dow’s modest 3.6% gain versus the S&P’s 9.5% highlights narrowing market breadth. Tariffs, a strong USD, and weaker industrials weigh on sentiment, raising questions about the sustainability of the bull trend.

Nasdaq 100: Short to medium-term bullish trends intact amid AI bubble fears
The Nasdaq 100 extended its rally, climbing 1.2% to a fresh record close at 25,137 on 8 October 2025, supported by strong momentum in AI-linked stocks despite growing AI bubble concerns. Reports of US$1 trillion in circular AI deals among OpenAI, Nvidia, AMD, and Oracle have raised valuation risks. Still, the technical setup remains bullish, with the uptrend intact above 24,795, targeting resistance near 25,640 in the short term.

Trade Setup to Watch: EUR/USD Breaks Ascending Trendline, Further Downside Ahead?
EUR/USD breaks ascending trendline, hinting at further downside despite mixed fundamental and technical signals. The US Dollar Index (DXY) rallied after the FOMC meeting and US government shutdown. Technical analysis shows a break of the 1.16300 confluence level, suggesting a move towards 1.14000 or 1.1058. However, the RSI is in oversold territory, which could lead to a short-term bounce.

Nikkei 225: Rallied above 48,000, key levels to watch next as new Japanese PM ignites bulls
The Nikkei 225 extended its bullish momentum, surging 6.5% to a record high of 48,668 as markets priced in expansionary fiscal policies under Japan’s incoming Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi. The steepening of Japan’s government bond yield curves continues to support the rally, reinforcing a bullish medium-term outlook. Key support sits at 45,930, with potential upside targets at 50,090–51,220 amid a risk of minor corrective pullback.

The Dow Jones reaches 47,000 and breaks its Rising Wedge
US indices are pushing higher with the Dow Jones clearing 47,000 and breaking an ascending wedge pattern. A weak ISM Services PMI initially triggered selling, but markets flipped into full risk-on mode. With October’s Fed cut nearly assured and deeper 2026 cuts priced, equities shrug off shutdown risks for now.

SPX 500: Bullish trend undeterred by US government shutdown, en route to 6,800/850 next
The SPX 500 remains firmly bullish despite the US government shutdown, climbing to a fresh record high of 6,745 on 3 October. Optimism is fueled by rising odds of Fed rate cuts, with markets pricing a 98% chance in October and 87% in December. The index holds above key support at 6,690, with the next targets at 6,800 and 6,850. Strong momentum and sector rotation into cyclicals reinforce the bullish trend.
