Market Overview
On Friday (August 4) , spot gold fluctuated narrowly during the Asian session and is currently trading around $1936.56 per ounce. After a series of strong economic data this week drove US government bond yields to a nine month high, investors began preparing for the closely watched US employment report.
The United States Department of Labor will release the closely watched July non farm employment report on Friday, which is expected to still show a tight labor market, and the unemployment rate is stable near the low point in decades, although wage growth may slow down. Last month's data showed that consumer spending is elastic, and the annual inflation rate slowed down significantly in June.
There is a possibility of surprise or shock in the July non farm employment data. After the data is released, the gold price may fluctuate widely and violently in the short term, with a high possibility of diving after a rapid rise in the short term. There is also a possibility of gold prices rising again after a rapid decline in the short term, and it is necessary to pay attention to the specific performance of the data and market interpretation.
The ADP National Employment Report released on Wednesday showed that the growth rate of private employment in July exceeded expectations. Compared to June, the number of people applying for state unemployment benefits for the first time in July was much lower.
The United States Department of Labor reported on Tuesday that each unemployed person had 1.6 job vacancies in June, little change compared with May. A large number of vacant jobs, together with the Consumer confidence survey conducted by the Conference Board in July, show that families are optimistic about the labor market, posing a risk to the unemployment rate.
The unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 3.6% in July, not far from the level of over 50 years ago. This is far below the latest median estimate of the Federal Reserve, which means that the unemployment rate will be 4.1% by the fourth quarter of this year.
Saudi Arabia announced on Thursday that it will extend its voluntary production reduction plan of 1 million barrels per day for another month until the end of September. The ministers of OPEC+, an oil producing country alliance formed by allies of the OPEC (OPEC), including Russia, will hold a meeting on Friday.
Sources said that the OPEC+Joint Ministerial Supervisory Committee (JMMC) is unlikely to adjust the overall oil production reduction policy at Friday's meeting. However, Saudi Arabia's commitment and Deputy Chairman of the Government Novak's statement that Russia will also reduce production by 300000 barrels/day in September triggered market concerns about supply, which in turn supported oil prices.
Investors need to pay attention to the upcoming OPEC+Joint Ministerial Supervisory Committee meeting, as well as the changes in the US July non farm employment report and US crude oil drilling data.
