Market Overview
On Tuesday (August 15) , spot gold was narrowly oscillating during the Asian session, and is currently trading near $1905.10 per ounce. U.S. Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar stayed high before the release of retail sales data, forming a pressure on gold prices.
Tuesday's data is expected to show that retail sales rose 0.4% in July from a year earlier, supporting the view that the economy remains solid. But it is unlikely to change expectations that the Fed is done raising rates as inflation moderates.
U.S. crude oil is trading in a narrow range, currently trading near $82.73 per barrel. The Chinese central bank unexpectedly cut open market MLF (medium-term lending facility) and reverse repo rates again, providing some support to oil prices. However, the market's concerns about the prospects for crude oil demand recovery are still lingering, and the relative strength of the dollar and U.S. bond yields still need to beware of the risk of a further pullback in oil prices.
This trading day needs to keep an eye on the U.S. Monthly Rate of Retail Sales for July and the API Crude Oil Inventories data series.
