No Nobel peace prize for Trump
It’s not much but it will be a blow to Trump’s ego as he has repeatedly claimed that he deserves the award. That especially as how he has been working on trying to mend geopolitical relations across the globe over the past few months. I wouldn’t doubt that he is an unlikely candidate to win, given he seems more of a controversial pick. In deciding the winner, the Nobel committee mentioned that their decision was “filled with both courage and integrity” and that they base it off “work and the will of Alfred Nobel”.
Machado is at least someone who has played nice with Trump at least, having praised him for his “commitment to freedom and democracy in Venezuela”. But rest assured, Trump will definitely look to make a meal about the decision later in the day.

Is Palladium a Buy?
Palladium Futures: buyers reclaim control as key levels shift higher
Quick read for investors and traders: Palladium has flipped from weakness to strength. Price climbed from the $1,410 area and now trades above the VWAP ≈ $1,451, the developing POC ≈ $1,472, and the Value Area High (VAH) ≈ $1,490. The next magnets above are $1,502.5 (yesterday’s closing VWAP) and $1,515 (yesterday’s POC). Our orderFlow Intel read shows a bullish bias with high confidence.
Why this matters
When price rises and the VWAP, POC, and VAH all recalculate higher, it tells us the market is accepting higher prices, not just short-covering. That usually supports continuation until buyers meet serious resistance or fail to defend a retest.
What is orderFlow Intel (in plain English)
-
Idea: We study how trades are executed at the bid and ask, how volume shifts through time, and how price reacts around key reference points like VWAP, POC, VAH, and round numbers.
-
What we look for: signs that selling is being absorbed; whether buyers are truly in control or just getting a temporary push; whether pullbacks are being defended.
-
Benefit: It turns raw tape activity into a decision-support “compass,” helping you judge when a move is likely to continue, pause, or fail—without needing to watch every tick.
Current read and levels
-
Structure: VWAP is rising; price is holding above it. POC advanced to $1,472; VAH advanced to $1,490.
-
Upside magnets: $1,502.5 then $1,515. Firm acceptance above this band opens room toward $1,549–$1,585 in a later phase.
-
Support to monitor: $1,472–$1,451 (POC to VWAP). As long as buyers defend this zone, the short-term uptrend remains intact.
How to use this “map”
-
Bullish pathway: If price holds above $1,472–$1,451 and reclaims $1,502.5 → $1,515, momentum favors continuation.
-
Cooling phase: Failure to hold above $1,472 suggests a consolidation; watch VWAP ($1,451) for buyer defense.
-
Invalidation for short-term bulls: A sustained move back below VWAP with weak responses from buyers would downgrade the outlook.
New to VWAP, POC, VAH
-
VWAP: the market’s “average price” weighted by volume; above it shows buyers have the advantage; below it shows sellers have it.
-
POC: the price with the most traded volume; think of it as today’s balance point.
-
VAH/VAL: the upper and lower edges of the area where most trading occurred; moving above VAH signals acceptance of higher value.
Our stance
Based on orderFlow Intel—investingLive.com’s proprietary methodology—the market shows a bullish bias with high confidence. We will reassess if buyers stop defending $1,472–$1,451.
This is decision support, not financial advice. Trade and invest at your own risk.

Gold nudges back up to $4,000 as dip buyers step in
There’s not too much else happening in European morning trade but precious metals are the standout movers at the very least. Silver is now clocking above $51 on the day in seeking a breakout as seen here, but gold is also recovering strongly to now retest the $4,000 mark. It’s a crucial moment now for dip buyers in trying to regain near-term control in contesting the 100-hour moving average (red line) as well the $4,000 level:
Hold a break above and the near-term bias switches back to being more bullish. But keep below both key levels and sellers are still in a position to wrestle back near-term control amid the profit-taking since yesterday. From earlier: Gold cools on profit-taking but still poised to end the week higher

USD/CAD returned to its bullish path on Thursday after an almost two-week period of consolidation around the 1.3900 area, as rising political uncertainty outside the U.S. fueled safe-haven demand for the greenback.
