1. AUD/USD Analysis:

News Summary:

Official data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed that the unemployment rate held steady at 4.3% in November, below the market’s general expectation of 4.4%. This outcome could have provided short-term support for the Australian dollar. However, the main drag on the AUD came from an unexpectedly sharp decline in employment. Net employment change fell by 21,300 during the month, a significant reversal from the 41,100 increases in October (revised) and well below the market forecast of a 20,000 gain.

Trend Analysis:

We can see AUD/USD is consolidating near recent highs on the H4 chart, trading around the 48 hours moving average. Meanwhile, the MACD double line and the histogram bar are expanding above the zero line. The buy limit could be set, stop loss is necessary.

2. Gold Analysis:

News Summary:

ING’s latest gold price outlook delivers a clear conclusion: the current gold super bull market is far from reaching its peak. Even with gold prices firmly holding above USD 4,200, the full-year average price for 2026 is expected to rise further to USD 4,500, with a high probability of repeated new all-time highs during the period. The five core engines driving gold prices remain fully in force: structural central bank gold purchases, continued monetary easing by the Federal Reserve, a persistently weak US dollar, heightened geopolitical volatility, and renewed inflows from institutional investors.

Trend Analysis:

On the H4 chart, we can see gold has rebounded after a pullback and is trading above the 48 hours moving average. In addition, both the MACD double line and energy bars are beginning to converge above the zero line. The buy limit could be placed, stop loss is mandatory.
