Actionable Desk Notes
BoE volatility (12:00 WAT): Focus on vote split & guidance. Hawkish hold = buy GBP/USD toward 1.3100 if push through 1.3050.Claims vs. JOLTS: Claims = short-term; JOLTS = medium-term. Divergence can cause two-phase USD moves (sell then buy).Gold's $2,300 decision: If 10Y >4.20% post-data, Gold likely tests and breaks $2,300 — manage stops tightly due to crowded USD longs.
