Daily Digest Market Movers: Gold price climbs further on neutral Fed bets

• Gold price extends its upside momentum above $1,930 as investors see the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates unchanged at 5.25%-5.50% after its September monetary policy meeting. The decision will be announced on Wednesday.
• The precious metal kept attracting bids from the past three trading sessions as the upside in the US Dollar is expected to remain restricted on expectations of unchanged rates.
• US inflation is falling and the labor market is resilient despite higher interest rates, allowing policymakers to leave interest rates unchanged.
• The recent rise in Oil prices is exerting pressure on inflation but Fed policymakers generally consider core inflation, which doesn’t include energy prices, while framing monetary policy.
• For the interest rate guidance, the Fed is expected to keep the doors open for further policy tightening to ensure price stability.
• The Fed could keep interest rates elevated long enough to bring down inflation to 2%. This is likely to continue to build pressure on the US economy, particularly for the manufacturing and housing sectors.
• Any discussion about rate cuts would improve the appeal for the risk-perceived assets and dampen the US Dollar. Economists at Goldman Sachs expect Fed officials to signal a full percentage point of cuts next year but to keep expectations of one more interest rate increase this year to a range of 5.50%-5.75%.
• Worries about an economic slowdown due to higher interest rates for longer linger despite the current economic resilience. Shorter-term US Treasury yields have surpassed the yields offered in longer time frames, a situation that has historically indicated risks of a potential recession.
• As per the CME Group Fedwatch Tool, traders undoubtedly see interest rates remaining steady at 5.25%-5.50% after the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on Wednesday. For the rest of the year, traders anticipate almost a 58% chance for the Fed to also keep monetary policy unchanged.
• About the US economic outlook, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Monday said that she doesn’t see any signs that the economy will enter into a downturn as inflation is coming down and the labor market is quite strong.
• However, Yellen warned that a failure by Congress to pass the legislation to keep the government in control could elevate the risk of an economic slowdown.
• Later this week, investors will watch the preliminary Manufacturing and Services PMI September data to be reported by S&P Global. US factory activity has remained vulnerable due to higher interest rates. Firms are focusing on achieving efficiency by controlling costs in a deteriorating demand environment.
• The US Dollar Index (DXY) seems well-supported above the crucial 105.00 level. Investors keep pumping money into the USD Index due to deepening fears of a global slowdown in a high-interest rate environment.

Gold Moves Higher as Political and Financial Instability is Growing

The gold price rose by almost 0.70% on Friday as disappointing macroeconomic data and social instability in the U.S. brought the dollar down and pushed metals higher.

Gold and silver are rallying on a wall of worry,' said Tai Wong, a New York-based independent metals trader. On Friday, the U.S. United Auto Workers (UAW) union started a strike at three factories in Detroit, being the largest industrial labor action in decades. In addition, the media write about the possible government shutdown at the end of the month, fuelling political concerns. Moreover, the Consumer Confidence Index published by the University of Michigan came out lower than expected, boosting hopes that the Federal Reserve (Fed) won't raise the benchmark interest rate this year. The market is currently pricing in only a 27% chance of a rate hike in November and less than a 40% probability of a rate increase in December.

🆘XAU/USD was rising during the Asian session. Today's economic calendar is relatively light, so gold probably won't fluctuate much. However, traders may change their positions ahead of this week's central banks' decisions. Therefore, XAU/USD may possibly be correct towards 1,916.

🟢'Spot gold may test a resistance zone of 1,933–1,935 USD per ounce, a break above which could lead to a gain into the 1,941–1,943 range,' said Reuters analyst Wang Tao.

🔘USD/JPY moving closer to 150 will put more pressure on the government to intervene to support the Yen

Will BoJ Governor Ueda push back further against JPY weakness by talking up rate hike risks?

Market attention will now turn to comments from Governor Ueda at this week’s policy meeting to see what message he delivers over the future timing of rate hikes and what level of unease he displays over recent Yen weakness.

If BoJ Governor Ueda steps back from providing a strong signal over the possibility of rate hikes by the turn of the year, it will increase the burden on the Japanese government to support the Yen through intervention like late last year if the USD/JPY jumps back above the 150.00 level and moves to retest last year’s high at 151.95.

🆘The European Central Bank has hiked interest rates to a record high as policymakers look to address elevated inflation in the eurozone despite signals that the region's economy is weakening.

It is the tenth straight rate increase by the Frankfurt-based bank since it misjudged the speed of price gains early last year. The move brings the ECB's main refinancing operations, the interest rates on the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility up to 4.50%, 4.75% and 4.00%, respectively.

"Inflation continues to decline but is still expected to remain too high for too long," the ECB said in a statement. "The rate increase today reflects the Governing Council’s assessment of the inflation outlook in light of the incoming economic and financial data, the dynamics of underlying inflation, and the strength of monetary policy transmission."

Prior to the decision, debate swirled around how officials would adjust borrowing costs to account for stubbornly high price growth and flagging economic activity.

Preliminary readings show that inflation in the eurozone is now more than twice the ECB's 2% target. However, the bank's long-standing monetary tightening campaign, coupled with similar policy moves by central banks across the world and weakness in China, have begun to hit the broader eurozone economy. Manufacturing is suffering, while lending has slumped and services have showed early signs of strain, contributing to concerns that the region may slip into a recession.

⏰Market movers today

The ECB meeting is the main event today, with the rate decision at 14.15 CET followed by Lagarde's press conference at 14.45 CET. We expect a 25bp hike, which will be mirrored 1-to-1 by Danmarks Nationalbank.

On the data front, August inflation data will be released for Sweden. We expect headline CPIF inflation to cool clearly in y/y terms to 4.9% (from 6.4%) and CPIF excluding energy to 7.3% (from 8.0%).

🟢The 60 second overview
We expect the ECB to hike by 25bp at today's meeting. The market pricing is 16bp (up 3bp since yesterday) following the Reuters story on an upward revision to the 2024 inflation forecast in today's staff projections. In our opinion, this is a natural (and expected) consequence of rising energy prices since the latest projection round in June.

✔️The key factor for today's decision will be the projected core inflation path until 2025. We expect the forecast to reflect strong underlying inflation dynamics driven by tight labour market conditions.

Combined with the latest (strong) inflation data, this should justify hiking a final 25bp. We also expect an advancement of the end to full reinvestment process of PEPP currently guided for December 2024 to be on the cards. Regardless of whether the ECB decides to hike or not, we expect Danmarks Nationalbank to follow the rate decision 1-to-1.

Looking ahead, all eyes remain on the European Central Bank (ECB) interest rate decision, which is likely to be an interesting one. ECB President Christine Lagarde faces a tough call, as the old continent risks stagnation while inflation remains more than double the central bank’s 2.0% target. A hawkish pause, with Lagarde leaving the door open for more rate hikes, will likely fuel a sharp rally in the EUR/USD pair at the expense of the US Dollar. In such a case, Gold price could capitalize on the US Dollar weakness and extend its rebound toward the critical 200-Daily Moving Average (DMA) at $1,922.

However, Gold traders will also pay close attention to the US Retail Sales and Producer Price Index data for fresh US Dollar valuations.

♾All in all, Gold price braces for another day of volatile trading on the ECB verdict and the US economic data releases.

Jerome Powell speech in focus at the Jackson Hole Symposium

Gold price is struggling to extend the recent recovery momentum, as investors prefer to hold the US Dollar heading into the main event risk at the Fed’s annual economic conference at Jackson Hole, Chair Jerome Powell’s speech. A cautious market mood also favors the safe-haven demand for the US Dollar, limiting the upside in the Gold price.

Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole event was previously a decisive one, as he delivered a strong message on the central bank’s commitment to fighting inflation, suggesting more interest rate hikes. At the 2023 symposium, Jerome Powell is likely to laud the US economic resilience, feeding into the rhetoric of a ‘higher for longer’ narrative. In such a case, markets are likely to read his message as hawkish, triggering a fresh upside in the US Dollar and the US Treasury bond yields at the expense of the Gold price.

Conversely, if Powell emphasizes the Fed’s data-dependent approach for future policy course and expresses concerns over economic growth and credit conditions, it could imply a less hawkish stance and smash the US Dollar across the board while providing the much-needed boost to the Gold price.

Meanwhile, the end-of-the-week flows combined with the pre-US Nonfarm Payrolls positioning could also influence the Gold price action heading into the weekly close.

XAUUSD: $1919-1926 or $1888/1880 today?

Gold price is sustaining the recovery from five-month lows, looking to recapture the $1,900 mark early Wednesday. A minor pullback in the United States Dollar (USD) and the US Treasury bond yields is helping Gold price find some support. All eyes now remain on the global preliminary PMI reports for fresh trading impetus in Gold price.

Investors also stay unnerved ahead of the key Manufacturing and Services PMI reports from the Euro area and the US due later in the day. The S&P Global US PMI is likely to show the factory sector remained in contraction this month. The global PMI data will help gauge the risks of a recession worldwide while driving the broader market sentiment. Worsening business conditions globally are likely to intensify risk-aversion and boost the US Dollar’s safe-haven demand, motivating the Greenback to resume the uptrend at the expense of Gold price.

Further, earnings results from the US chipmaker due late Wednesday are likely to have a significant impact on risk sentiment. Gold traders also remain wary of the US banking jitters, especially after S&P joined Moody's to downgrade multiple regional US banks. In other news, Swiss Gold exports fell 2% in July from June, keeping the Gold price rebound in check.

Gold price managed to settle Tuesday above the descending trendline resistance, then at $1,891, as it moved away from multi-month troughs. Gold buyers now need acceptance above the $1,900 round figure to take on the upward-sloping 200-Daily Moving Average (DMA) at $1,909.

A sustained move above the 200 DMA barrier will open doors for a test of the $1,920 round figure.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is inching higher but stays below the 50 level, limiting the upside attempts in Gold price.

On the downside, the immediate support is seen at the abovementioned descending trendline resistance-turned-support, now at $1,885, below which a test of the $1,870 static support will be on the cards.

US Dollar keeps rallying, Gold price at the losing end

Gold price is coming up for some air after the relentless three-day decline, fuelled by a broadly firmer US Dollar amid an increased flight to safety and economic resilience showcased by the recent US economic statistics.

The Greenback built onto its upsurge on Wednesday after the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yields climbed to fresh 10-month highs just above 4.30% on the hawkish US Federal Reserve Minutes of the July meeting. The Fed Minutes revealed that "most" policymakers continued to pledge to tame inflation while seeing ‘upside risks’ to inflation, possibly suggesting more rate hikes to come from the Federal Reserve.

Additionally, lingering Chinese economic concerns combined with the revival of the hawkish Fed expectations sent risk tumbling, infusing safe-haven flows into the US Dollar. Upbeat US housing data also added to the positive mood around the US Dollar, exacerbating the pain in the non-interest-bearing Gold price. Single-family homebuilding in the United States rose 6.7% while Building Permits ticked up 0.1% to an annualized pace of 1.44 million units.

Later in the day, the US weekly Jobless Claims and Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Survey will be eyed to confirm a resilient US economy, which could trigger a fresh leg higher in the US Dollar. The Greenback is likely to remain in a win-win situation even if risk sentiment takes a further knock.

KEY POINTS

• Gold price is seen consolidating its recent decline to the lowest level since early June.
• Bets for one more rate hike by Federal Reserve continue to cap the non-yielding metal.
• China's economic woes and geopolitical tensions limit further losses for the XAU/USD.
• Traders now look forward to the US Retail Sales report for some meaningful impetus.
• last week's dismal Chinese trade data, which indicated that imports and exports fell much faster than expected in July as weaker demand threatens recovery prospects in the world's second-largest economy. Moreover, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) registered its first decline since February 2021 and the Producer Price Index (PPI) fell for a 10th consecutive month in July, suggesting that China's post-pandemic recovery has slowed after a brisk start in the first quarter. Even a surprise rate cut by the People's Bank of China (PBoC) does little to ease market concerns, allowing the Gold price to defend the $1,900 round figure, at least for the time being.

• The upside, however, remains capped in the wake of growing acceptance that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will keep interest rates higher for longer. It is worth recalling that the markets are still pricing in the possibility of one more 25 basis points (bps) lift-off by the end of this year, which remains supportive of elevated US Treasury bond yields. In fact, the yield on the benchmark 10-year US government bond shot to a nine-month high on Monday. This, in turn, assists the US Dollar (USD) to stand tall just below its highest level in more than two-month set the previous day and should continue to keep a lid on any meaningful recovery for the non-yielding Gold price.

• Traders might also refrain from placing aggressive bets and prefer to wait for the release of the monthly Retail Sales figures from the United States (US), due later during the early North American session. Tuesday's US economic docket also features the Empire State Manufacturing Index, which, along with the US bond yields will influence the USD price dynamics and provide some impetus to the Gold price. Apart from this, the broader risk sentiment might contribute to producing short-term trading opportunities around the safe-haven XAU/USD.
