Oil finishes lower as the market sniffs out a TACO

WTI crude oil on the November contract is trading down $1.64 to $95.60.That's something of a win for the bears, as it finished last week at $95.94. Since then, we've had a mixed series of updates on the pipeline attacks in Saudi Arabia but the latest ones say they're doing bypasses of the damaged pumping stations and could soon have half of the lost supply back online.

Gold Holds $4,394 as BoJ Hikes to 1.25%; USD/JPY, XAU/USD in Focus

Gold trades at $4,394.29 on 18 September 2026, consolidating below the $4,400 handle after the Bank of Japan raised its policy rate to 1.25%, the latest step in its normalisation cycle. The yen's higher yield reduces the opportunity cost gap that has favoured non-yielding bullion, while falling Brent crude prices trim the inflation-hedge bid that supported metals through the summer. The BoJ decision follows the Federal Reserve's own hike, leaving USD/JPY caught between competing hawkish narratives and keeping dollar-denominated gold rangebound. Scenario levels frame near-term risk: the bear case targets $4,265, roughly 3% below spot and aligned with prior consolidation support, the base case sits at $4,500, and the bull case extends to $4,900 should real yields retreat or geopolitical risk premia rebuild. Traders should watch the $4,400 pivot; sustained acceptance above it opens the $4,500 base target, while a close beneath $4,300 exposes the $4,265 floor. Yen strength on further BoJ tightening typically pressures USD/JPY and can amplify gold volatility.

AUD/USD, USD/JPY Steady as RBA and BoJ Decisions Loom on Risk Rally

Global equity and currency markets traded firmer as investors positioned ahead of imminent Reserve Bank of Australia and Bank of Japan policy decisions. RBA Governor Michele Bullock told a parliamentary committee on Friday that the board must assess whether the current cash rate setting remains appropriate, a comment traders read as leaving the door open in both directions and keeping AUD/USD pinned in its recent range. The BoJ, meanwhile, is expected to continue normalising policy, a factor that has capped USD/JPY upside despite the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance. Improving US-China diplomatic engagement added to the constructive risk backdrop, supporting commodity-linked currencies such as the Australian and New Zealand dollars. Near term, AUD/USD direction hinges on the RBA's tone around inflation persistence and labour market resilience, while USD/JPY remains sensitive to any BoJ guidance on the pace of further hikes. Traders should expect elevated intraday volatility around both announcements, with breakout risk in AUD/USD and sharp two-way moves in yen crosses including AUD/JPY.
