XAUUSD weekly: gold retreats 103 pips to 4436.63, 2026-06-01
Gold opened the week at 4539.41 and closed at 4436.63, shedding 103 pips as risk appetite improved.
2 min leesUSDMXN opened the week at 17.3518 and closed at 17.277, dropping 74 pips or 0.43%. The pair peaked at 17.3984 on Monday before sliding lower. The weekly low printed at 17.2612 on Tuesday, with price consolidating near the lows through Friday.
Dollar weakness across emerging markets drove the peso higher this week. The South Korean won hit a 17-year low against USD on Thursday, while the PBOC set its USD/CNY reference rate well above estimates. This broader EM stress initially supported the dollar before reversing.
By Wednesday, the greenback had reversed most of its gains against EUR/USD and other majors. The peso benefited from this shift in dollar sentiment, with USDMXN sliding from Tuesday's highs near 17.36 to test support at 17.266.
No high-impact economic events are scheduled for either the US or Mexico in the coming week. Without fresh catalysts, USDMXN will likely track broader dollar movements and risk sentiment. If emerging market stress resurfaces, the pair could retest the 17.35 area. If risk appetite improves and the dollar weakens further, support sits at the Tuesday low of 17.2612.
LHFX clients are net long USDMXN with 61.8% holding long positions versus 38.2% short. This bullish skew suggests traders expect dollar strength to resume. When positioning is this lopsided, sharp moves against the consensus often trigger position squaring, amplifying the move.
The week's high at 17.3984 marks clear resistance. If price closes above there, the next obvious level is the round number at 17.40. On the downside, the 17.2612 low provides immediate support. A break below opens the path to 17.20, last seen in early May.
