Macro Overview
U.S. large-cap futures are holding above their 20-day EMAs with RSI still constructive despite a mild mean-reversion move in ES/NQ, suggesting buyers are defending the structure. Gold is the outlier: it has slipped under the 20-day EMA and RSI has cooled to 39.7, flipping the short-term bias to BEARISH for now. FX is a tighter story: DXY is firmer and GBPUSD is flatlining near the EMA20 with a NEUTRAL read, while USDCAD is outperforming on the same USD impulse.

Key Risk / Catalyst
Watch the 07:30 ET payroll data release — a miss or upward revision can break the current EMA-contingent range in risk assets. If the print surprises to the upside, expect USDJPY and USDCAD to extend; a miss would likely flip gold back above 4,537.6 and drag DXY lower.
