Gold is at an 8-month high thanks to geopolitical tensions between Russia, NATO and Ukraine as well as rampant inflation. Is the gold rally just getting started or are we nearing the top? I give my take on this and rundown this week’s forex calendar. Thanks! Rich
The prospect of higher interest rates has seen investors look to parts of the stock market that might benefit - which is presenting new trading opportunities in UK and European stocks.

It’s a special Year Ahead edition. I look back at the trends of 2021 and then look at what could be the drivers for 2022, with a preview of some of the big political and international events that might spark some moves in financial markets.
The economic calendar is thinning out as we head into the holidays but the ongoing response to the Federal Reserve’s ‘turbo-taper’ could see volatility stay with us. I’m taking an extra look at gold. Thanks! Rich

I discuss the extreme weakness of the euro and strength of the British pound, as well as oil prices finally getting a more sustained backpack plus this week’s economic calendar including the RBNZ meeting and FOMC minutes
Is this a good time to buy gold? US Inflation is at its highest in 30 years and other parts of the world are expected to report higher inflation this week - and gold is known as an inflation hedge.

King dollar is back so I discuss this dollar strength alongside the big events to prepare for - including non-farm payrolls, an OPEC meeting and interest rate decisions from the RBA and RBNZ. Thanks!
We begin the week with a reaction to the German election, then European CPI data will keep the focus on inflation, while Evergrande and Fed tapering concerns continue to play out.

This week the two big events to look out for are the RBA rate decision and the release of Fed minutes. I’ll look at these and a potential Aussie dollar setup, and then run through the top data points on this week’s economic calendar.
