India’s foreign exchange reserves fell to $689.73 billion on October 27, down from $695.36 billion. This decrease of about $5.63 billion indicates that the Reserve Bank of India is actively working to stabilize the rupee. In other market news, the USD/CAD pair dropped due to strong employment numbers in Canada. The Euro gained strength against the British Pound as the Bank of England hinted at a more cautious approach.

Michigan’s Index and Gold Stability

The University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index slipped to 50.3 in November, missing expectations of 53.2. At the same time, gold prices remained steady near $4,000 per troy ounce, amid cautious market feelings and falling U.S. Treasury yields. In the world of cryptocurrency, Dogecoin stabilized above $0.1600 after a shaky week. There are discussions about a possible Bitwise Dogecoin spot ETF launch, which could happen 20 days after the necessary regulatory filings are made. Investors should conduct thorough research before making investment decisions, as investing carries risks, including the potential for financial loss and emotional distress.

India’s foreign exchange reserves dropped in late October 2025, indicating that the Reserve Bank of India is working to protect the rupee. This suggests the RBI is selling dollars to prevent the rupee from falling below a key level, likely around 85 USD/INR. Traders might consider selling volatility on the USD/INR pair, as this could help keep it stable in the short term.

USD Pressure and Gold Movements

The US Dollar is facing strong challenges, and this trend is expected to continue. The disappointing Consumer Sentiment Index reading of 50.3 is supported by new data showing US inflation (CPI) cooling to 2.8% and job growth slowing significantly. This weak data supports the recent Federal Reserve rate cut and suggests further decline for the dollar. Gold’s rise towards the $4,000 mark is linked to the falling dollar and decreasing US bond yields. With the 10-year Treasury yield now below 3.5%, gold, which does not yield interest, has become more appealing. This trend is backed by consistent investments in gold ETFs throughout October. We recommend looking to buy gold call options or using bull call spreads to benefit from this momentum. There’s a noticeable divide forming between the Euro and the Pound. The Bank of England is signaling a shift toward a more cautious stance, particularly after UK GDP growth for the third quarter of 2025 was just 0.1%. This suggests they may cut rates before the European Central Bank, strengthening the case for long EUR/GBP positions. The Canadian dollar is gaining strength against the US dollar for good reasons. Strong Canadian job numbers, with 60,000 positions added last month, sharply contrast with the slowing US job market. This gives the Bank of Canada a reason to maintain current interest rates, which supports our view to sell any upward moves in the USD/CAD pair. The upcoming launch of a Dogecoin spot ETF represents a clear opportunity. We saw significant price increases and capital inflows following the approval of Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024. Buying DOGE call options that expire in late November or early December could be a strong way to capitalize on this growing anticipation. Create your live VT Markets account and start trading now.
