Macro

• Gold prices held near the $4,500 an ounce level on Thursday after easing from a recent high. Lower longdated U.S. Treasury yields, following the government’s expanded bond-buyback program, continued to support bullion, while investors assessed the Federal Reserve’s latest concerns over inflation.

• WTI crude oil prices rose after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose stricter economic restrictions on Iran. Crude prices approached one-month highs, marking a fifth consecutive session of gains as tensions over the Strait of Hormuz showed few signs of easing.

• Copper futures held near recent lows, trading around $6.46 per pound, as rising metal deliveries to London Metal Exchange warehouses helped ease a historic supply squeeze. LME copper inventories increased by 20,000 tonnes on Tuesday, marking their largest single-day rise since April.

Panel One

* 15-minute candlesticks for a rolling three-day period have been plotted.

* Blue horizontal line shows an open gap which could either be up or down (open-gap up: low of next candle does not overlap the high of the prior candle, and vice versa for an open-gap down). The horizontal line showing the gap will only appear if the price has not visited the gap area.

Panel Two

* Plots the Slow Stochastics study to identify overbought (90 and above) and oversold (20 and below) areas.

* Signals are generated when the fast line (black) crosses the slow line (blue).

Panel Three

* Plots the Fisher Transform study that helps identify extremes and makes turning points clearer.

* Red bands lie between +2 and +3 and can be thought of as an area where a peak could occur. Green bands lie between -2 and -3 and often mark bottoms.
