The last time we saw a "golden cross"  for EURUSD was in late-2022, before this FX pair went on to claim a 3.12% annual gain for 2023. For the more immediate term, 3 key events this week could lead to big price swings for the world's most-traded FX pair.

Gold is now holding around its highest-ever closing price on record. Although this precious metal has struggled to stay above $2070 in recent years, there are enough reasons for bullion to pursue greater heights in 2024.

The global oil benchmark is now teasing a psychologically-important level, having climbed in the wake of the Red Sea attacks and the Fed's policy pivot. Today's US PCE Deflator data release may well determine whether Brent spends Christmas above or below $80/bbl.

The incoming US PCE Deflator figures later today could trigger gold’s next move. As long as market bets for Fed rate cuts in 2024 can stay intact, that should pave the way for bullion bulls to send prices even higher.
