Fundamentals — last week's impact

Inflation set the tone twice last week. September CPI came in hot at 3.7% year on year, core 2.6%, and gasoline alone rose 9.1% in a single month — over half the monthly rise. September PPI followed at 6.3% year on year, the fastest annual pace since December 2022. Against that, September payrolls added just 29K jobs against 90K expected, a dovish miss arguing the other way. The Fed stays in a tightening stance after its 25bp hike on September 16, 2026, so each fresh inflation surprise now feeds straight into hike pricing rather than cut hopes, and that repricing runs through all three markets above.

Week ahead — November 02–06, 2026

This outlook is for Monday November 02 to Friday November 06, 2026. The week-in-review figures above (October 26–30, 2026) are background for how these levels were set.

The October 27-28 meeting has since concluded: the benchmark was held at 3.75%-4% on October 28 in a 10-2 vote, with Lisa Cook and Beth Hammack preferring a 25bp hike. December 8-9 is next on the calendar, and market pricing put a December hike near 83% (as of October 29, 2026 (post PCE/GDP data)) — the inflation prints, not the soft payrolls, set expectations for that meeting. Until the Fed speaks again, the levels above do the talking: a daily last close through resistance or under support votes early.

  • XAUUSD: first hurdle 3,900.00, first floor 3,875.00 — the daily last close decides.
  • BTCUSD: first resistance 78,000, first support 77,000 — a daily close above resistance or below support decides.
  • EURUSD: first ceiling 1.12000, first base 1.11117 — the next daily last close decides.

The honest frame for next week: trends persist until a daily last close proves otherwise. Watch whether gold holds above its demand zone, whether Bitcoin reclaims its nearest resistance, and whether EUR/USD keeps its bearish structure. Those three answers set the tone.
