Market Overview
On Tuesday (August 29), spot gold rose slightly during the Asian session and is currently trading near $1924.11 per ounce. Although the market has raised expectations for the Fed to raise interest rates in November, it is still widely expected that current interest rates will remain unchanged in September. The dollar and U.S. Treasury yields have retreated from recent highs, providing support to gold prices. In addition, there have been some mid to long term bargain hunting in the market, which has also provided rebound momentum for gold prices.
Record levels of government debt, geopolitical tensions that threaten to splinter the global trading system, and the possibility of continued weak productivity growth could leave the world facing a slow-growth future, hindering development in some countries even before it begins. This provides safe-haven support for gold prices.
The latest data showed that the world's largest Gold ETF, SPDR, increased its positions by 2.6 tons to 886.64 tons, which was the first increase since August 17, although it is still near its lowest level since January 2020.
Key inflation and employment data will be released in the U.S. this week, focusing on the U.S. PCE price index out on Thursday and U.S. August non-farm payrolls released on Friday, which could determine the outlook for interest rates. This trading day will usher in the U.S. job openings data, and the market expects job openings to decrease, which is slightly biased towards bullish gold prices.
U.S. crude oil traded near $80 per barrel. Oil prices remained stable on Monday, weighed down by concerns that further interest rate hikes in the United States may suppress demand, but supply disruptions from tropical storms along the US Gulf Coast may provide support.
Intraday focus will be on USD CB Consumer Confidence (AUG), USD JOLTs Job Openings (JUL) and API data to be released at 4:30 on Wednesday.
