Market Recap 

XAUUSD 
XAUUSD fell over the 29 Apr session, opening at 4599.24 and closing at 4543.47, a decline of 55.77 (-1.213%). Price covered 100.01 points, or 2.17% of the open, and the close sat in the lower third of the day’s range. The high printed early at 03:12 at 4610.3, with trade briefly above the 4600 figure, before price moved lower into the afternoon to set the low at 16:45 at 4510.29. That low established new 5‑day and 10‑day troughs and remained just above 4500. Into the late session, XAUUSD recovered from the lows and settled at 4543.47 by 23:57. The intraday profile progressed from an early high to a mid‑afternoon low, with bounces not extending back to the 4600 area and the session holding above 4500. The close was about one‑third up from the low, leaving the range bounded by 4610.3 on the top and 4510.29 at the base. On higher timeframes, H4 RSI14 posted 22.92 and D1 RSI14 was 34.08. In context of recent swings, the instrument remained below the 10‑day high at 4889.35. The day moved from an early high to an afternoon low and ended with a rebound that left the close below the session midpoint. 

USOIL
USOIL ended the session at 110.15, up 8.9 or 8.79% from an open at 101.25, after setting the day’s high at 110.2 at 23:59 and the low at 100.05 at 05:25. The intraday range spanned 10.15, equal to 10.02% of the open and about 159.1% of the prevailing D1 ATR. Price crossed the 110 handle late and settled 0.15 above it, placing the close within 0.05 of the session high and at the extreme top of the day’s distribution. The sequence featured an early dip toward the 100 figure, followed by steady gains into the close, with the late print marking fresh 5‑day and 10‑day highs. By the final bell the market stood well above the H1 20‑period SMA at 105.22, and remained far from the 5‑day low at 94.87. In round‑number terms, the session pivoted around three figures: the slide paused just above 100 in the early hours, the advance traversed the 105 area mid‑session, and the push into the final fix reclaimed and held the 110 handle. The close near the high left minimal pullback from the late extension, and the day’s expansion in range relative to its average underscored the outsized move versus recent daily swings. Overall, the trough formed shortly after the session began and the peak arrived into the final minute, leaving settlement anchored at the top of the intraday corridor. 

EURUSD 
EURUSD ended the session at 1.16714, down 0.00376 or -0.321% from the 1.1709 open, after traversing a 0.00593 range (0.51% of the open). Price set the day’s high at 1.172 at 03:04 before sliding to the low at 1.16607 at 21:47, with the close positioned toward the lower end of the intraday range. The session interacted repeatedly with the 1.17 round level, opening just above it, printing the high shortly after, and then trading beneath it into the close. The late-day trough registered fresh 5‑day and 10‑day lows, while the session high remained below the 5‑day high at 1.17543 and the 10‑day high at 1.18485. On shorter‑term trend metrics, price finished under the H1 21‑EMA at 1.16906 after spending the early part of the session above that reference. On H4, MACD was near zero on the negative side. Structurally, the market established its peak early and progressed toward the low into the evening, leaving the settlement closer to the session low than the high. No daily ATR context or tick volume was provided. Overall, the day presented a contained but directional move that kept EURUSD constrained beneath nearby multi‑day reference highs and concluded below the intraday moving average yardstick, with the new 5‑ and 10‑day lows marking the most notable landmarks of the session. 

Economic Calendar Recap & Preview 

Rates held steady across North America over the last day: the Bank of Canada kept its policy rate at 2.0 percent, unchanged from 2.0 previously, and the Federal Reserve left its benchmark at 3.75 percent, matching the prior 3.75. Ahead, the Bank of England announces its interest rate decision at 14:00 server time, with Bank Rate previously at 3.75 percent. The U.S. calendar clusters at 15:30: GDP q/q is expected at -0.2 percent after 0.5 previously; GDP Sales q/q are seen at 4.1 percent following 0.3; and Initial Jobless Claims are forecast at 210,000 versus 214,000 prior. Put simply, a stronger-than-forecast GDP print or a lower claims reading would typically signal firmer demand and labor conditions, which can support yields. Volatility risk around the 15:30 releases—particularly the GDP figures—remains elevated given their broad market sensitivity.
