Hello Traders,

Thanks to those of you who joined us today. I should reiterate that the Monday Market Update is just that. A big picture overview of the markets, with a few ‘charts of interest’ thrown in. There are no trade recommendations, this is not a signal service – just what I am looking at and interested in.

Today we looked at; FX STAM, Silver v US Dollar ($XAGUSD), Netflix Inc ($NFLX), Airbus ($AIR), Rheinmetall AG ($RHM), and CMC Markets ($CMCX).

Paul’s Monday market update for December 1, 2025, covered the strength and weakness in FX markets. The Aussie dollar saw a recent pump, while the Euro remained strong, influenced by potential US interest rate cuts. The Swiss franc and Sterling showed mixed performances, with Sterling affected by political uncertainties. The Japanese yen could see a shift due to potential interest rate hikes. Commodities showed bearish momentum, with Bitcoin remaining a strategic buy. Key charts included silver’s parabolic move, Netflix’s potential pullback, and Airbus’s share price drop. The session also highlighted upcoming data releases and their potential impact on markets.

Have a great trading week. We return next week at 1230.

Trade well,

Paul
