monsitj/iStock via Getty Images Gold could test major support at $4,000/oz this week if inflation pressures heat up more than expected, Forex.com analyst Fawad Razaqzada said Monday in a note, after prices dropped below their 200-day moving average . "The technical picture has deteriorated noticeably following last week's selloff," Razaqzada wrote. "Gold's inability to sustain gains above the $4,500 region ultimately left the market vulnerable to a deeper correction, with the break beneath the 200-day moving average accelerating downside momentum." The next major area of support is a longer-term ascending trend line near $4,230/oz, the analyst said, creating the potential for a more pronounced decline if sellers maintain control, and "given the current market structure, a move toward the psychologically important $4,000 level can no longer be ruled out." The bearish short-term outlook comes ahead of Wednesday's Consumer Price Index report, with core inflation expected to rise 2.9% over the last 12 months. "Another firm inflation reading would likely strengthen expectations that rates remain elevated for longer, potentially providing further support for the dollar while weighing on precious metals." according to Razaqzada. On Monday, gold futures swung between small gains and losses Monday after giving up nearly 5% last week, as Iran and Israel agreed to ease strikes against each other after a flare-up in violence that threatened to derail peace negotiations, although gains were limited by strong U.S. jobs data that hiked expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike. While gold is traditionally sought as a safe haven during war, a peace deal would reduce energy-driven inflation risks and ease the pressure on central banks to keep interest rates high; higher interest rates tend to hurt non-yielding gold. Front-month Comex gold ( XAUUSD:CUR ) for June delivery fell $1.20/oz, less than 0.1%, to $4,335.90/oz, its lowest settlement value since January 2, and front-month...

Good morning . Iran and Israel conditionally agree to ease strikes after Trump’s plea. A Chinese startup wants to lead Beijing to brain-tech dominance. And a Japanese conveyor-belt sushi chain is on a roll in China. Listen to the day’s top stories . Market Snapshot WTI Crude Futures $91.30 +0.8% Alibaba $120.07 -0.8% Apple $301.54 -1.9% Market data as of 05:03 PM ET. Data is subject to provider delays. Iran and Israel agreed to halt attacks against each other after a flare-up of violence threatened to derail peace negotiations and spurred Donald Trump to appeal for de-escalation. Earlier, Israeli TV station N12 reported that strikes in southern Lebanon will continue at full force, while Tehran warned of “much harsher and more crushing actions” if Israel continues bombings. Xi Jinping pledged “unwavering support” for Kim Jong Un, saying China will deepen trade, agriculture and technology ties with North Korea . But Xi avoided any public mention of North Korea’s nuclear program during the Pyongyang meeting, focusing instead on strengthening commerce, diplomacy and promoting tourism. The Pentagon accused Alibaba Group, Baidu and BYD of supporting the Chinese military — a move that risks provoking new friction with Beijing. Additionally, the US urged NATO allies to use defense funds to replace gear from Huawei Technologies in their networks and critical infrastructure, according to people familiar with the matter.

England defender getting used to protective brace and hopeful of contributing to Tuchel’s tournament effort In the disorientation of the moment, as Djed Spence lay on the turf, the pain radiating from the left side of his jaw, it was tempting to wonder what flashed through his mind. The Tottenham full-back had been cleaned out by the elbow of Chelsea’s Liam Delap in the closing stages of the penultimate game of the Premier League season. Spence had eyes only for the high ball while Delap looked directly at his opponent before spinning and throwing out his left arm. For starters, there had to be surprise that Delap was not sent off. “Yeah, it was a crazy challenge,” Spence says. What about his involvement in Spurs’ final match of their relegation battle at home against Everton ? And beyond that, the World Cup? Did he fear it might be all over for him? Continue reading...

Elon Musk's SpaceX is on the verge of launching the largest initial public offering (IPO) in history. For years, everyday investors were forced to watch IPOs from the sidelines, as offering prices were almost exclusively reserved for large financial institutions and high-net-worth clients. Retail investors chased IPO stocks once they hit the public exchanges -- often buying shares at inflated prices and missing the real upside. Fidelity recently lowered its eligibility requirement for the SpaceX IPO to those who hold a modest $2,000 balance in their account. This is a dramatic shift from the traditional six-figure minimums imposed by legacy brokerages. On the surface, this might look like a win for small investors. However, a closer look at the mechanics of IPOs raises some legitimate questions about who really benefits from increased retail participation. Continue reading
