The Japanese yen traded close to 147.7 per dollar on Monday, holding in a narrow range for roughly a week as investors assessed the Bank of Japan’s policy stance.

On Monday, gold fell below $3,380 an ounce, weighed down by easing geopolitical tensions that reduced its safe-haven appeal. U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of an August 15 meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska, aimed at resolving the Ukraine conflict and avoiding additional U.S. sanctions, added to the decline. However, ongoing trade concerns and growing expectations for Fed rate cuts this year are expected to limit further losses.
Gold is testing resistance at $3,425, with support at $3,340.

Silver held above $38 per ounce on Friday, set for a weekly gain of around 3%, as prospects for U.S. interest rate cuts and uncertainty from new tariffs supported demand for precious metals. Weekly jobless claims came in above forecasts, and last week’s disappointing nonfarm payrolls report led traders to anticipate a Federal Reserve rate cut in September, with another possible in December.
Silver is now testing resistance at $39, with support holding around $36.50.
| R1: 39.00 | S1: 36.50 |
