US data suggest that the economy is gathering momentum though apparently it may look mixed batch of data, but comparing drop in jobless claims and increase in the confidence level with minor drop in Durable Goods data, which is always considered notorious that fell due to fewer Boeing sales is nothing more than a joke because if the transportation number is deducted from the durable good data the fall is only 0.1 pct, which is negligible. Chicago PMI did fell by a small number, but that should not be a worrying sign. Honestly, this is no comparison in economic terms, as the emphasis should be on growth and improving job market.
While, in the European continent, Merkel's CDU got the much expected boost after concluding deal with SPD party that should be good news as collation will lead to political stability in Germany. But things could get worsen as defiant Berlusconi has been shown the door, he has the ability to bounce back and it is yet to be seen that at 77-years of age has the legs. He has already called "a bitter day, a day of mourning for the Italian democracy" and has said that he would not leave politics.
However, the big move of the day came in foreign exchange market came in UK, as Pound Sterling gave another big welcome to Marke Carney BOE Governor for all the hard work done by his predecessor Mervin King, as the British currency roared after the GDP announcement that as per expectation. There demand for the currency from foreign investors mainly from Asian buyers (Central Banks). Today Financial Stability Report is due, which is announced twice a year under BOE guidance that will provide better picture of the economy, as tone will be the key for GBP's next move.
US market is closed due to Thanksgiving Holiday, but there are quite a few data announcement from Europe. German CPI number will be of keenly watched, as it is expected to jump that will give feeler about the inflation condition, which is the most talked subject in Europe.
GMT 3:24 - GOLD @ $ 1240 = In the absence of US market, today's move could be of same pattern as of yesterday/ $ 1234-35 should hold and break of $ 1246-47 will encourage for a move towards $ 1248-50 band, before easing as $ 1256 should hold.

GMT 3:35 - GBP @ 1.6298 = Bullish mood is still intact. Hence, for a quick trade buy on dip is preferred as support around 1.6260-70 should hold for 1.6340-50 zones, only break will encourage for 1.6380. But fall below 1.6210-20 will increases risk for more losses.

GBP @ 1.6342 = It seems that so far there nothing too juicy for Pound to climb and holding 1.6350-60 well, failure to break above would mean fall possible. Do also keep an eye on 1.6380.
