Oil prices surged and hit my profit target. I awaited the FOMC meeting and the Fed's interest rate, which is expected to hold rates steady in the 3.50%-3.75% range. I tried placing a pending buy limit order on XTIUSD via the FXOpen MT5 platform.

XTIUSD's pending order failed, and the price surged above $100. This time, he tried switching to gold with a pending sell limit order. The Fed's interest rate remained in the $350%-3.75% range, tending towards a hawkish stance, which could put pressure on gold as US bond yields rose.

Pending orders on gold became active as the price hit the ask price. Now the position is floating at a loss. The gold rebounded after Japanese intervention weakened the USD.

WTI oil opened with a gap down. It opened at 96.64 and is now around 99.04. Although the US has not yet continued to attack Iran, tensions between the US and Iran continue. Diplomatic failures have yet to reach a peaceful solution between the two countries. The US continues to blockade the sea, and Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz. The market will likely be highly sensitive to the latest updates on the US-Iran war. I'm now trying to open a buy position on XTIUSD on the FXOpen platform.

The price of silver bounced from the lower band to reach the upper band. Here, I saw an indication of significant buyers trying to take over the position. I again speculated on silver with an open buy.

Silver is currently trading around 77,463, consolidating after yesterday's rebound. There are hopes for a de-escalation of the US-Iran war, which has given gold and silver room to rebound as USD yields fall. If peace hopes become stronger, silver could continue its rally. However, sudden negative news in the Middle East could hinder the rally. I'm still letting my silver position drift as it hasn't hit its stop-loss yet.

My silver position finally hit its profit target. Now I'm trying to switch to gold. The US and Iran are expected to reach an agreement and the Strait of Hormuz will reopen to commercial shipping. However, conditions remain fluid.

Today's gold price opened with a gap down. Here, I'm speculating again by opening a buy position and placing a stop-loss below the opening price. The market may remain highly sensitive to developments in US-Iran negotiations and the fragile situation on the ground. There have been reports of drone attacks and the ongoing US blockade.

The gold position hit a stop-loss because gold corrected first before extending its gains. However, I briefly switched to silver with a buy position at around 83,272 on the FXOpen MT5 platform, which is currently in profit. I have adjusted the stop-loss position to a safe zone around 84,144. If the USD continues to weaken today, silver may continue its bullish trend. However, the market is wary of today's US CPI data release, which could change the situation.

US inflation is heating up, causing silver prices to rise but then fall as rising US bond yields pressure precious metals. Expectations of a Fed rate cut are waning, and the USD remains vulnerable to fluctuations amidst the ongoing US-Iran war, which has yet to reach a peace agreement. Today, I tried pending orders on silver on the MT5 FXOpen platform, looking at it on a lower timeframe for a short-term scenario.

The buy limit on silver hit the stop-loss. The strengthening USD caused a sharp correction in silver. US retail sales data improved, although inflation remained high. This caused the market to begin reducing expectations for a Fed rate cut. Meanwhile, the meeting between the Chinese and US presidents received positive comments in global markets. Although no major agreement was reached, the meeting eased geopolitical tensions between the US and China. Here, I attempted a sell position on silver with a stop-loss at the nearest resistance level.

Gold prices opened higher than Friday's close, but fell but failed to break through the low. Here, I attempted a speculative buy position with a stop-loss below the low. Gold prices are expected to remain highly volatile, driven by the push and pull of safe-haven flows and the strengthening USD.

My long gold position hit a stop-loss because the price of gold failed to break through the psychological level and corrected within the hourly range. Now I'm trying to switch to silver, placing a buy limit around the 76 price level and a stop-loss near the 75 level, with a profit target of around 80.

Silver remains under pressure from the strengthening USD, prompting a stop-loss order. Today, I am taking a break to await the release of UK CPI data, which could impact the GBP/USD pair. Political issues also appear to be weighing on the GBP. GBP/USD is still consolidating, with a Bollinger band squeeze indicating low volatility on the hourly timeframe.

Today, we're testing AUDUSD. The FOMC report seems to indicate that the Fed will maintain high interest rates for longer, meeting market expectations until the end of 2026. While both central banks are hawkish, geopolitics in the Middle East could trigger safe-haven flows into the USD.
