XAU/USD: Gold moves below 38.2% retracement level. After a remarkable sell off during the last 24 hours, it seems that bulls return.
European Market View
Asian equity markets were mostly higher as the region took its cue from the predominantly strong performance stateside where the S&P 500 and DJIA rallied to fresh record highs. Looking ahead, highlights from macroeconomic calendar include the UK labour market report, German ZEW, Fed's Rosengren, Quarles, Kaplan, ECB's Knot. Scientists, public health officials and investors welcomed the first successful interim data from a large-scale clinical test as a watershed moment that could help turn the tide of the pandemic if the full trial results pan out. President-elect Joe Biden said the news was excellent but did not change the fact that face masks, social distancing and other health measures would be needed well into next year. The World Health Organization called the results very positive but warned there was a funding gap of $4.5 billion that could slow access to tests, medicines and vaccines in low- and middle-income countries.
