Introduction

This week was a showcase of how macro fundamentals and politics collided, and how MRKT kept traders on the right side of each move.

Markets faced a wave of uncertainty as the U.S. government shutdown loomed, halting the release of critical economic data and leaving traders without traditional reference points.

In this vacuum, sentiment, geopolitics, and positioning dictated price, and MRKT’s real-time data became even more valuable.

Gold became the week’s protagonist.

It broke past the $4,000 mark for the first time ever, reaching MRKT’s bullish projection of $4,059, before profit-taking and geopolitical headlines triggered a sharp reversal.

From Lecornu’s resignation in France, to the Gaza ceasefire agreement, to Trump’s China trade comments reigniting safe-haven demand, every move this week was tied to news flow and institutional behavior that MRKT tracked live.

While retail traders waited for missing U.S. economic data, MRKT users traded with real context, following capital flows, sentiment, and AI-driven headline breakdowns that revealed the market’s heartbeat in real time.

Monday, Oct 6, Political Shock: French PM Lecornu Resigns

A surprise headline kicked off the week: French PM Lecornu’s resignation to President Macron.

While mainstream media caught it late, MRKT’s Live Headlines delivered it instantly, helping traders spot early volatility in European assets and the initial safe-haven bid in Gold.

EURUSD chart:

Tuesday, Oct 7, Gold Approaches $4,000

Gold rallied through $3,950 on rising Fed rate cut expectations and central bank accumulation.

MRKT flagged a bullish bias early in the week, showing momentum building even before the $4,000 level was tested.

As traders debated whether it could break, MRKT’s projection zone at $4,050 hinted at what was coming next.

Wednesday, Oct 8, The Breakout: Gold Hits $4,059

It happened.

Gold smashed through $4,000, hitting MRKT’s bullish price target to the dot at $4,059.

The move was fueled by a dovish Fed narrative, ongoing U.S. shutdown fears, and central bank ETF inflows, all clearly visible on MRKT’s dashboards before the rally peaked.

Thursday, Oct 9, Gaza Ceasefire Headlines Shift Sentiment

Markets flipped risk-on as headlines confirmed a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.

Gold saw a swift intraday selloff, not because the fundamentals changed, but because safe-haven demand unwound as geopolitical risk eased.

Friday, Oct 10, Trump’s China Comments Push Gold Back Above $4,000

The week closed with volatility roaring back after Trump’s hawkish comments on China, which reignited global trade tensions.

As the headlines hit, MRKT’s AI instantly broke down the context, flagging renewed safe-haven demand, USD weakness, and pressure on risk assets.

This time, price action followed MRKT’s roadmap to the dot:

Gold hit its projected pullback level at $3,960, precisely where MRKT had marked it earlier in the week.

Buyers stepped in aggressively from that zone, driving price back above $4,000, confirming once again the accuracy of MRKT’s price projections even amid shifting macro sentiment.
