Gold trading signals will now be provided in whole numbers only, without cents. This change is due to the significant rise in gold prices, where price movements below $1 occur very rapidly and are no longer practically actionable.

As a result, signal formatting will be adjusted as follows:

Example: Buy Gold @ 5230 SL 5215 TP 5254

This update is intended to improve clarity, execution speed, and overall usability of the signals under current market conditions.

Starting January 1, 2026, results for the Metals market will be reported directly in U.S. dollars.

Until now, a price movement of 1 USD in gold was recorded by us as 100 pips. Due to the significant increase in gold prices, pip-based reporting has become impractical. For this reason, we are transitioning to direct dollar-based reporting.

Under the new system, every $1 profit or loss in the price of gold will be recorded as +1.0 or -1.0, respectively.

Example: We open the following position: Buy Crude Oil @ 4400.00 SL: 4392.00 TP: 4411.50

If the position closes at take profit, the recorded result will be +11.5. Until the end of 2025, the same price movement was recorded as +1150.

May 2026 bring you clarity in decisions, resilience in markets, and long-term financial success. Thank you for being with us.

Today's Industrial Production s.a. (MoM) data for October surprised to the upside, showing a strong increase of 1.8%, compared to expectations of -0.4% and a previous reading of 1.1%. This marks one of the strongest monthly performances of the year, indicating renewed stabilization in Europe's largest economy.

The indicator, released by the Statistisches Bundesamt Deutschland, is a key measure of the health of the manufacturing and mining sectors-core drivers of the German economy. Typically, higher industrial production is considered positive for the euro, signaling better growth prospects within the Eurozone.

Market Reaction - A Brief Spike Followed by Reversal

Immediately after the release, the euro jumped approximately 20 pips against the US dollar. However, the move was short-lived. During the European morning session, the USD regained all losses and strengthened further, pushing EUR/USD back toward 1.1650, with continued bearish momentum on the single currency.

This price action suggests that investors remain unconvinced that a single positive data point is enough to change the broader negative outlook for the Eurozone.

Geopolitical Pressure and Investor Sentiment

Market sentiment today was influenced not only by economic indicators but also by political commentary. Recent criticism of the European Union by Elon Musk and Donald Trump-including claims that the EU should "return to nation-states"-has added to investor caution regarding European assets.

Although such remarks do not directly affect short-term indicators, they contribute to a broader environment of skepticism toward the Eurozone's long-term stability.

World-Signals Outlook for EURUSD

According to World-Signals, the euro is likely to remain under pressure in the coming days. Expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut toward the end of the year are currently viewed by markets as a supportive factor for the US dollar, signaling continued resilience in the American economy.

Given this backdrop, a move in EURUSD toward 1.1700 appears unlikely in the near term. Instead, USD strength is expected to dominate, with potential for the pair to test lower levels if negative sentiment toward the Eurozone persists.

The Lack of Rare Earth Elements Pushes Europe into Major Concessions to China.

Europe's growing shortage of rare earth elements is forcing it to make unprecedented concessions to China - so deep that analysts now warn the continent could see the collapse of entire industrial sectors within the next five to six years.

Automotive, shipbuilding, aviation, and railway manufacturing are all at risk. To stay afloat, European manufacturers - especially in Germany - are reportedly transferring valuable production know-how and proprietary technologies to Chinese partners in a desperate attempt to survive just a few more months or years.

China, meanwhile, is using this knowledge to strengthen its own technological base. The scenario is alarmingly familiar: just as China mastered and surpassed the West in electric vehicles, it is now poised to outpace Europe across nearly every remaining industrial field.

Investing in major German corporations is rapidly becoming meaningless. These companies will either shut down or be bought out entirely. The battle for industrial dominance has already been decided - China has won against Europe. What remains is the larger confrontation with the United States, a conflict that will likely unfold on Europe's back, among the ruins of its once world-leading industries.

The price of gold has already reached $4,300 per ounce. As we have repeatedly mentioned in our analyses, once gold starts moving upward, there's no stopping it - and this prediction is now being confirmed.

Since mid-August 2025, gold has gained nearly $1,000 per ounce in just two months. Few could have imagined such a move, yet it was entirely foreseeable given today's global conditions.

The world remains deeply unstable - with the shift toward digital currencies, ongoing wars, and soaring national debts that push governments to borrow endlessly. These factors drive investors and ordinary people alike to seek safety in gold and real estate.

The momentum behind gold is unlikely to end in the coming months. As we've projected before, the price trend remains strongly bullish. At World-Signals, we expect a minor correction just before the $5,000 level, likely a pullback of $400-$500, followed by a continuation of the uptrend throughout 2026.

It's not impossible that those holding just a few gold bars by 2026 could find themselves millionaires. At the time of publication, the price of gold is $4,298.

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced he is considering a "massive increase" in tariffs on imports from China, signalling a possible escalation in the long-running trade dispute between the world's two largest economies.

In response, Beijing has vowed to impose countermeasures should Washington proceed with the proposed 100% tariffs, defending its recent export rules while warning that such moves would further raise tensions.

A high-level meeting between President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping - expected on the sidelines of the APEC leaders' meeting in South Korea later this month - now appears uncertain, with Washington's recent rhetoric jeopardising the diplomatic groundwork for the summit.

Markets are already reacting. Investors have been shifting capital toward safe-haven assets, with gold and silver among the biggest beneficiaries of the risk-off move. Gold notably pushed past the $4,000-per-ounce mark amid the turmoil, underscoring strong demand for protection against trade-driven volatility. According to World-Signals analysis, with gold prices holding above $4,000 per ounce, any correction toward $3,950 - $3,975 is likely to trigger fresh buying interest.

As geopolitical strategy increasingly intersects with resource control - from oil to rare earth elements - the global economic balance may be entering a new phase of heightened volatility. Traders and portfolio managers should watch tariff announcements, export-control actions on critical inputs (including rare earths), and developments around planned diplomatic meetings for signs of market direction.

Back on March 28, 2025, World-Signals forecasted that gold prices would triple from the $1900 level within 3 - 4 years. Less than a year later, gold has already doubled in value, fully aligning with our earlier projections. You can check our dated forecast here link.

We have repeatedly warned that gold would become the best investment of this decade. Now, only hours remain before testing the psychological $4000 per ounce, and a clear breakout above this level looks highly probable.

The main drivers are rising inflation and deep uncertainty surrounding both the euro and the U.S. dollar. The Eurozone is on the verge of collapse, led by France's financial breakdown. Unlike Greece, France's public debt is massive and unpayable, threatening the stability of the entire Eurozone. This is confirmed by the resignation of the new French government, as no one wants to take charge of a sinking ship.

Meanwhile, the U.S. and the Trump administration appear ready to sacrifice the euro to protect America's own economic interests. As these shocks unfold, major investors are moving to safety - and that safety is gold.

Today, gold demand is surging not only among banks, hedge funds, and institutional investors but also among ordinary citizens worldwide.
