Market Inventory
On Thursday (December 1), Beijing time, during the Asian European session, spot gold rose in shock, hitting a new high of 1782.60 US dollars/ounce for more than two weeks. The speech of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell on slowing the pace of interest rate increase weakened the yield of US dollars and US bonds, providing momentum for gold prices.
In addition, the poor performance of overnight ADP data also encouraged bulls' morale, although the US GDP data for the third quarter rose slightly.
This trading day will usher in changes in the number of US initial claims for unemployment benefits, US November PCE data, and US November ISM manufacturing PMI data. The PCE data is the inflation data that the Federal Reserve focuses on. At present, the market is expected to be weaker than October, and the market also expects that the PMI data will fall below the boom and bust line of 50, biased towards bullish gold prices.
The US crude oil fluctuated in a narrow range. At present, the trading volume is around 80.15 USD/barrel. The overnight data line shows that the EIA crude oil inventory has recorded the largest decline since 2019. The market's concern about the Asian epidemic has cooled. The oil price has initially broken the 80 integer barrier, and the short-term bullish signal has been strengthened. Although the US crude oil output hit a new high since the epidemic, which made bulls slightly wary, the Fed Powell's statement that it would slow down the pace of interest rate increase improved the market risk appetite. The global stock market rose generally, and short-term oil prices are expected to fluctuate upward.
In addition, investors should also pay attention to the speeches of other Fed officials and the expected changes of the market on the US November non farm employment report to be released on Friday. It is also necessary to pay attention to the meeting between President Biden of the United States and French President Emmanuel Macron, to the relevant news of the geographical situation, and to the changes in the market's expectations for the weekend OPEC+meeting.

Spot gold weakened slightly during the Asian session on Thursday (April 6), hitting a two-day low of $2007.89 per ounce and now trading near $2014.15. A series of weak economic data has fueled fears of an impending recession in the US, giving safe-haven support to the dollar. And some dollar shorts took profits, and gold bulls also took profits ahead of Good Friday and the non-farm payrolls data, putting pressure on gold prices.
On Wednesday, as the less-than-expected March "ADP" data and non-manufacturing PMI data fueled market concerns about an economic slowdown and spurred bets that the Federal Reserve could slow interest rate hikes. Spot gold continued to brush a new high since March last year, which was the highest intraday to $2032.13 per ounce, and then retracted most of the day's gains, finally closing up 0.01% at $2020.82 per ounce; spot silver hovered around $25 during the day, finally closing down 0.21% at $2
Spot gold oscillated slightly lower during the Asian session on Tuesday (April 4) and is currently trading around $1980.13 per ounce. The dollar index rebounded mildly after a big drop overnight, putting pressure on gold prices. However, this week will see the non-farm payrolls report, there is no important economic data out on Tuesday, and the market wait-and-see sentiment is getting stronger.
On Monday, in OPEC + members unexpectedly cut production reignited market concerns about long-term inflation and sparked uncertainty about the Fed's response, the dollar index once up to the 103 mark, and then on a "vertical roller coaster", giving back all the gains of the day and once lost 102 mark, finally closed down 0.53% at 102.04; U.S. 10-year Treasury yields rose and then fell, as data showed that the U.S. economy continues to slow, it fell sharply in the U.S. session, and once to a low
