1. GBP/USD Analysis:

News Summary:

UK manufacturing activity continued to expand in August, although the pace of growth slowed to its weakest level since March. The S&P Global UK Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) edged down to 51.7 from 51.9 in July, slightly above the preliminary reading of 51.5. The index has remained above the 50.0 threshold separating expansion from contraction for several consecutive months, indicating that the sector remains in growth territory. S&P Global said the increase in production was supported by higher new orders, with demand improving from both domestic and overseas customers.

Trend Analysis:

We can see GBP/USD has pulled back within a range on the H4 chart and is trading below the 48 hours moving average. Meanwhile, the MACD double line and energy bars are converging below the zero axis.

Key Support Levels: [1.3400]

Key Resistance Levels: [1.3600]
Pivot Points [1.3450]

2. Gold Analysis:

News Summary:

Spot gold plunged more than 2% on Tuesday, falling below $4,350 and hitting a two-week low, mainly pressured by elevated U.S. Treasury yields and a stronger U.S. dollar. A renewed escalation in the U.S.-Iran conflict pushed oil prices higher, fueling inflation concerns and reinforcing expectations for further rate hikes. The escalation in Middle East tensions provided only limited safe-haven support for gold, while pressure from interest rates and the U.S. dollar remained the dominant market drivers. As a result, gold appeared particularly vulnerable amid the latest round of macroeconomic repricing.

Trend Analysis:

On the H4 chart, we can see gold continues to trend lower and is trading below the 48 hours moving average. However, the MACD double lines and histogram bars are converging below the zero axis. The buy limit could be placed, stop loss is mandatory.

Today's Key Price Levels:

Key Support Levels: [4230]

Key Resistance Levels: [4400]
