XAU/USD - Upward Trendline Support
The safe-haven-metal prices failed to stop its 3-Day losing streak and dropped toward $1,700 an ounce while representing 0.53% losses on the day mainly due to a report about reopening the economies and loosening of months-long COVID-19 lockdown measures. As well as, the gains in stocks also keeps the gold prices under pressure.
Currently, gold is trading at 1,709 and consolidates in the range between the 1,706.30 - 1,725.50. However, the traders are cautious about placing any strong position ahead of policy announcements from two of the world's leading central banks.
The precious metal dropped after U.S. equities hit the highest in almost 7-weeks mainly because most of the states, including Florida, showed a willingness to ease restrictions. Italy is one of the countries that hit hardest by coronavirus outbreak, also prepared to re-start the economy, although the World Health Organization has given warning about the coronavirus pandemic and said that the virus is still far from over.
Despite the latest losses in yellow-metal, the quote is still trading near the 7-months high, mainly due to the coronavirus outbreak. In the meantime, they're following the massive stimulus by Fed and central banks to support growth caused by the epidemic, while the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank could make policy announcements on Wednesday and Thursday.
Since the gold and U.S. dollar share the opposite correlation, gold prices also weighed down by the latest pullback in the U.S. dollar.
As in result, the Market's risk-tone remains mostly inactive with the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield taking rounds to 0.65% and getting mixed performances from the Asian stocks.

USD/CAD - Triple Bottom Breakout
Today in the early Europan session, the USD/CAD currency pair flashing green and rose to a fresh session high near the 1.4065 area in the last hours mainly due to the sharp declines in the crude oil prices which tend to weakens the commodity-linked currency – the Loonie and keeps the currency pair higher.
The broad-based U.S. dollar latest pullback from the daily lows collaborates with the currency pair's gains. As of writing, the USD/CAD currency pair is currently trading at 1.3952 and consolidates in the range between the 1.3944 - 1.4074.
The currency pair continued showing some resilience near the key 1.40 psychological mark and succeeded in regaining some positive traction during the Asian session on Tuesday. The uptick in the pair was supported by multiple factors, including a fresh decline in crude oil prices and a bullish pickup in U.S. dollar demand.
The WTI crude oil prices dropped again on Tuesday due to on-going worries about oversupply and a lack of storage space across the world. These concerns come after the largest U.S. exchange-traded fund said it would sell all its front-month crude contracts to avoid further losses, which eventually weakened the Canadian dollar.
It should be noted that the traders failed to cheer the latest optimism about the easing of coronavirus-related restrictions globally, mainly due to the latest declines in crude oil prices. As in result, the traders lost their confidence during the current cautious moo in the equity markets.
At the USD front, the U.S. dollar recovered its status as the global reserve currency due to fears about the economic recession from the coronavirus pandemic. The decreasing demand for perceived riskier assets provided an additional boost to the greenback and contributed to the pair's modest uptick.
