EURUSD Rises On A Weaker Greenback
The euro is trading higher on Monday, largely thanks to the weaker US dollar.
The EURUSD is reversing losses after touching the 1.1700 support area.
The current pace of gains will see the common currency re-testing the 1.1800 level again.
Depending on whether this price area will act as resistance, price action could push even higher.

For the moment, the EURUSD remains consolidated within the 1.1800 and 1.1700 levels.
GBPUSD Rises To 1.3000
The British pound sterling is once again attempting to breakout past the 1.3000 level of resistance.
However, prices are still being rejected above this level, as 1.3000 is proving a strong resistance level to break. This will most likely keep GBPUSD confined below this level for the moment.
The Stochastics oscillator is also a bit overstretched, which could signal a pullback in price action.
The minor support near 1.2850 remains the downside line in the sand for the cable.
A close below this level will open the way for GBPUSD to test the 1.2750 level of support next.
Oil Rises On OPEC+ Comments
Oil prices were trading bullish on Monday.
The gains come after OPEC+ chief reiterated that OPEC+ would not let oil prices to fall again.
Elsewhere, Russia is attempting to engage Saudi Arabia in fresh talks amid the current oil market slump.
Price action is building upon the upside momentum as oil prices briefly test the 41.00 level.
With the price action largely dependent on the fundamentals, positive news from Russia and Saudi talks could see oil possibly breaking above the 41.00 level.
For the moment though, the ranging price action is still not out of the woods.
Gold Catches A Bid On Stimulus Talks
The precious metal is attempting to pare losses as the US Congress is set to debate on the stimulus bill.
This has weakened the US dollar and the talks of fresh stimulus are pushing gold a bit higher. But gold is struggling near the 1911.50 level.
After an intraday spike above this level, gold reversed gains.
For the moment, the ascending triangle pattern continues to remain in play.
Watch for a successful breakout above this level which could see further gains in gold. Alternatively, if gold loses support from the rising trend line, we could see the downside risks emerge.
