Welcome, my fellow traders! I have prepared a price forecast for US Crude, XAUUSD, and EURUSD using a combination of the margin zones method and technical analysis. Based on the market analysis, I suggest entry signals for intraday traders.

The euro has broken through the support zone B at 1.1585–1.1572.

Major Takeaways

• USCrude: Oil is trading within a short-term uptrend and is rising from the support zone A at 96.45–96.01.
• XAUUSD: Gold is attempting to pierce the Gold Zone of 4,286–4,276.

Oil Price Forecast for Today: USCrude Analysis

The price of oil is trading within a short-term uptrend, rising from the support zone A at 96.45–96.01. The primary bullish target is the September 11 high.

If the price settles above the September 11 high, the rally may continue toward the Target Zone 3 at 103.27–102.40. Should the oil price decline and break below support A, the correction will extend toward support B at 94.27–93.61.

USCrude Trading Ideas for Today:

Hold part of the long trades opened at support A at 96.45–96.01. TakeProfit: 98.40, 100.75. StopLoss: at breakeven.

Yesterday, gold prices fell further. As a result, the metal reached the second bearish target set for the trades opened at resistance B at 4,451–4,436. This target was the September 2nd low of 4,282. Additionally, the price tested the Gold Zone of 4,286–4,276. If it breaks below this zone, the decline will likely continue to the Target Zone 2 at 4,158–4,135.

Price chart of EURUSD in real time mode

The pair’s bearish outlook remains unchanged despite forming some recent bullish waves and stabilizing near 205.60, as it continues to hold below the key resistance at 210.40. The conflicting signals from the main indicators may force the price to extend its mixed trading, with a possibility of retesting the resistance in the near term.

However, if the price succeeds in gathering bearish momentum, it could form strong bearish waves, breaking below 206.85 and then attempting to reach the main bearish targets at 205.90 and 205.10.

The expected trading range for today is between 207.80 and 209.45

Trend forecast: Fluctuating

After a volatile week, the silver price prediction from UBS remains $70 for December and $80 for September 2027.

The Silver price recovered to $64.48 an ounce on Friday, clawing back less than a third of Thursday’s losses.

The 1.64% rebound still left XAG/USD down 2.6% over the week, with the metal needing a sustained recovery to reach UBS’s forecasts.

The bank’s silver price forecast starts at $70 in December 2026, rises to $75 in March and June 2027, then reaches $80 that September.

UBS has retained its earlier September projections, with December’s $70 estimate around 8.6% above Friday’s close and September 2027’s $80 target 24% higher.

Can silver build on Friday’s rebound?

Silver prices gained despite US core inflation accelerating to 0.3% month-on-month in August from 0.2% in July.

UBS had already anticipated a rate rise before those figures arrived.

The bank said on 10 September: “Our economists’ base case is that the Fed will raise its policy rate by 25bps. Given current market expectations, the hike itself should have a relatively limited impact.”

Its focus was the accompanying message: “More important will be whether markets interpret the decision and the tone of the subsequent press conference as leaning hawkish or dovish.”

In its currency outlook, UBS added: “In our base case, we do not expect a hawkish hike that would provide broad support for the dollar.”

That leaves room, in our view, for silver to recover even if US rates rise, provided the dollar does not strengthen materially.

The Fed’s 15–16 September meeting will test that reading, with most of Thursday’s silver losses still unrecovered.

Our currency coverage draws on live market data, official economic releases and published bank research.

Domestic coffee prices

Coffee prices today in the domestic market are trending sideways. According to giacaphe. com, coffee prices on September 14th averaged at 95. 200 VND/kg, anchored in the price range of 94. 700-95. 300 VND/kg.

In Gia Lai and Dak Lak, coffee prices are recorded at 95,200 VND/kg.

In Lam Dong, the listed coffee price is at 94,700 VND/kg.

The old Dak Nong area recorded a level of 95. 300 VND/kg.

The USD/VND exchange rate according to Vietcombank is recorded at 25,700 VND/USD.

World coffee prices

In the world market, coffee prices remained unchanged for all terms.

According to Barchart, the September 2026 Robusta contract is anchored at $3,495/ton. In the same direction, the November 2026 term is listed at $3,525/ton. The term from January 2027 to May 2027 is listed in the $3,482 – $3,508/ton price range.

Meanwhile, the September 2026 Arabica futures contract held at 313.65 cents/lb. The December 2026 futures were offered to the market at 285.70 cents/lb. Further forwards were anchored in the 272.20 – 277.20 cents/lb range.

Assessments and forecasts

Traders are planning to bring a large amount of Arabica coffee from Brazil – the world’s largest coffee producer – to certified warehouses of the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), where inventories have fallen to their lowest level in 26 years, thereby pushing coffee prices up.

Arabica coffee contracts operated by ICE Futures U.S., acting as the global reference price for the coffee market, hit a 6-month high in July, exceeding 3.5 USD/pound. Prices remain around this level despite market forecasts that supply will be significantly surplus in the 2026/27 crop year.

Industry experts believe that the main reason why coffee prices remain high, currently around 3 USD/pound, is that Arabica coffee inventories on the ICE exchange are low. About 70% of these inventories are stored in Antwerp, Belgium.

The amount of coffee from Brazil brought to ICE warehouses is likely to cause certified inventory to increase more than 2 times. This is an indicator that has a major impact on coffee prices, because it clearly reflects the surplus of coffee ready to be delivered on the exchange.

Many investment funds use algorithms programmed to automatically sell when stocks on the exchange increase and buy when stocks decrease.

1. Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline Has Been Shut

One of the most important developments for the oil market is the temporary shutdown of Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline.

The pipeline normally provides Saudi Arabia with an alternative route to export crude through the Red Sea, reducing its dependence on the Strait of Hormuz.

Following attacks, Saudi Arabia temporarily shut the pipeline while emergency teams assessed the damage. Reuters reported that the outage could threaten as much as 4% of global oil supply if it persists.

The importance of the pipeline has increased because shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has already been severely disrupted.

According to Reuters, Saudi crude production had fallen to around 6.2 million barrels per day in August, compared with 10.9 million barrels per day in February.

That leaves the market with less room to absorb another supply shock.

2. Strait of Hormuz Risks Remain

The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most important variables for the oil market.

Shipping activity through the strait has fallen significantly, while a vessel was reportedly hit by a projectile during the weekend. Reuters reported that only four outbound and 10 inbound vessels were recorded over the weekend, compared with a recent 10-day average of around 14 daily transits.

Any further reduction in tanker traffic could increase the geopolitical premium embedded in crude prices.

For WTI traders, this means that headlines surrounding the Gulf can produce significant intraday volatility.

3. Iran-Gulf Talks Have Been Postponed

The market had been hoping that diplomatic discussions could provide a path towards reopening safer shipping routes.

However, Oman’s foreign minister confirmed that a planned meeting between Iran and Gulf countries had been postponed.

That reduces the probability of an immediate de-escalation and leaves the oil market focused on physical supply rather than diplomatic progress.

4. Houthi Activity Is Increasing Supply Risks

The risk is no longer limited to the Strait of Hormuz.

Houthi forces have intensified their activities around the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb, creating another obstacle for oil transportation.

Reuters reported that the Houthi advance along Yemen’s Red Sea coastline is increasing pressure on Saudi oil exports and global shipping routes.

This creates a dangerous scenario for the oil market: multiple export routes are facing simultaneous geopolitical risks.
