Weekly Market Outlook (August 18–22, 2025)

 

1. Forex – The Dollar and Major Currencies
The US dollar moved steadily through most of the week as investors awaited the Federal Reserve Chairman’s speech at Jackson Hole.

Expectations of rate cuts supported currencies such as the British pound, which managed to maintain its gains against the dollar.

The Japanese yen’s movement was relatively limited, but it maintained its strength amid dollar weakness.

2. Gold
Gold started the week stable near $3,337 per ounce.

With ongoing anticipation and rising expectations of rate cuts, it gradually climbed and recorded on August 21 its highest ever closing at $3,491 per ounce.

Technical outlook suggests that gold is moving within a sideways range, with potential to target levels of $3,500–$3,600 if the upward trend continues.

On the other hand, breaking support levels near $3,225 could open the way for a decline toward $2,865.

3. Oil
Oil prices began the week lower: Brent dropped to $65.7, and WTI hovered near $62.7.

By the end of the week, Brent recovered to around $67, supported by signs of strong demand (such as declining inventories and increased jet fuel consumption).

Overall, oil remained volatile, fluctuating between easing geopolitical tensions and expectations of strong demand.

4. Technical and Trading Performance
Weekly trading reports showed strong profits from forex, gold, and oil signals, with total gains exceeding +2,500 points.

Gold, in particular, was the center of attention as the best investment tool compared to oil, which continued to trade in a volatile manner.
