NVIDIA earnings preview: AI capex, Blackwell ramp and 216.40 bullish breakout hold the key
NVIDIA heads into Q2 FY2027 earnings as the market’s key test of whether AI infrastructure demand is still accelerating fast enough to justify its US$5 trillion-plus valuation. Traders will focus on Data Centre revenue, Blackwell and Rubin execution, gross margins, Q3 guidance and AI capex sustainability. Technically, a breakout above 216.40 could revive the medium-term uptrend, while a daily close below 195.95 would weaken the bullish reversal case.

FX markets and central banks Overview - USD/CAD - AUD/USD
During the week of August 17–21, 2026, major currency pairs rallied against the U.S. dollar amid shifting monetary policy expectations.

Treasury Intervention Puts the Dollar Under Pressure
A sharp rise in US Treasury yields dominated the week before the Treasury Department expanded its long-term bond buyback programme. The move improved market liquidity and briefly reduced borrowing costs, but also weakened the dollar. With oil prices elevated and US debt exceeding USD40 trillion, investors are questioning whether Washington is becoming more willing to tolerate currency depreciation in order to stabilise the bond market.

Chart alert: Gold major bullish breakout as USD debasement narrative takes hold
Gold (XAU/USD) has staged a major bullish breakout, surging 4.35% on 19 August for its largest one-day gain since February 2026. The rally reflects growing US dollar debasement and fiscal-dominance concerns following larger US Treasury bond buybacks. Technical momentum remains bullish above the $4,434/$4,405 pivotal support, while a sustained break above $4,504 could reinforce the advance towards $4,580 and $4,640.
