Forex markets are commonly influenced by interest rates, inflation, employment data and central bank decisions.

Gold & Silver

Gold and silver remain among the most actively followed commodity markets globally.

Gold (XAU/USD) is often monitored during periods of inflation, geopolitical uncertainty and changes in interest rate expectations. See upcoming news announcements via our gold economic calendar.

Silver (XAG/USD) combines precious metal characteristics with industrial demand, creating different market dynamics to gold.
