Top News and Events for the Upcoming Week (Sept 15–21, 2025) for Gold and Forex Hey traders! 👋 This week, gold and forex markets will be driven by major central bank decisions, especially the FOMC meeting (Sept 16–17). Expectations of a 25 bps Fed rate cut (to 4.00–4.25%) could weaken the USD and push gold to new highs. However, Trump’s tariffs and sticky inflation might turn sentiment hawkish, sparking volatility. Key pairs like EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY are on edge. Here’s a day-by-day breakdown for your trades – let’s get ready! 📈 Follow @shadowtraderfx for more! ✅Monday, September 15, 2025 📎Gold: Markets open with focus on Japan’s bank holiday (JPY). Gold may consolidate above $3,630, but profit-taking pre-FOMC could pull it to $3,590–$3,600. Strong safe-haven demand might target $3,670. 📎Forex: USD/JPY sideways due to Japan’s holiday (support at 148.8). EUR/USD above 1.1700, GBP/USD near 1.3550.

Dovish Powell could push XAU/USD to $3,650+; hawkish signals (due to tariffs) may correct to $3,610. 📎Forex: UK Unemployment Rate and Average Earnings (GBP, 2:00 ET) – higher unemployment could drop GBP/USD to 1.3500. Core Retail Sales (USD, 8:30 ET) and German ZEW Sentiment (EUR, 5:00 ET) are key. USD/JPY may hit 149 if JPY stays weak. 💡Tip: DXY sensitive to retail sales – weak data could lift EUR/USD to 1.1800. ✅Wednesday, September 17, 2025 📎Gold: FOMC day! Rate decision (2:00 ET) and Powell’s presser (2:30 ET). A confirmed 25 bps cut could drive gold to new highs above $3,670 (USD weakness). If rates hold, correction to $3,550 possible. 📎Forex: FOMC dominates – weak USD could push EUR/USD to 1.1850, GBP/USD to 1.3650. USD/JPY may drop to 147.5 if BoJ signals tightening. Watch global PMIs too. 💡Tip: High volatility – keep stop-losses tight! ✅Thursday, September 18, 2025 📎Gold: Post-FOMC digestion. Dovish outcome keeps momentum toward $3,700; hawkish could test support at $3,560. Central bank demand (e.g., China) remains supportive. 📎Forex: ECB meeting (1:15 ET) – rates likely unchanged, but comments on inflation matter. NZ CPI and AU Employment impact AUD/NZD.

Forecast: Closing above $3,640 if FOMC is positive. 📎Forex: BoJ meeting (1:00 ET) – rates likely steady at 0.50%, but 2025 hike hints could strengthen JPY, pushing USD/JPY to 147. US Building Permits and Michigan Sentiment (USD) also impactful. 💡Tip: Close positions by weekend to manage risk. Saturday & Sunday, September 20–21, 2025 (Markets Closed) 📎Gold & Forex: No trading, but review FOMC and BoJ outcomes. Forecast: Gold up 2–5% weekly if rate cut confirmed; DXY could near 100. 💡Tip: Prep for next week’s inflation data. 🔎Weekly Summary: FOMC is the week’s star – a rate cut weakens USD and boosts gold, but tariffs pose inflationary risks.
