Abstract:Spot gold traded in a narrow range during Asian hours on Friday (June 30), trading near $1,905.44 an ounce.
Market Overview
Spot gold traded in a narrow range during Asian hours on Friday (June 30), trading near $1,905.44 an ounce. While bargain hunting helped gold hold above the 1,900 mark, relatively strong U.S. economic data overnight and Fed Chair Powell's reiteration of the rate hike stance still weighed on the precious metal.
Traders await the release of key US inflation data later today, USD PCE Prices (MAY) with core PCE expected to rise 4.7% yoy, well above the Fed's 2% inflation target.
For now, unless core inflation comes in much lower than expected, that will still support further Fed rate hikes, leaving gold at further downside risk.
In addition, we need to pay attention to the performance of USD Personal Spending MoM (MAY),USD Chicago PMI (JUN) and EUR CPI(JUN).
U.S. crude traded in a narrow range, currently trading near $69.75 a barrel, supported by a larger-than-expected drop in EIA crude inventories and stronger than expected U.S. economic data that improved demand expectations, but concerns that rising interest rates could affect global growth kept bulls in check and a volatile rebound in the dollar index to a more than two-week high this week also capped gains.
“Oil traders are still caught between rising interest rates and fears of a global recession, and rising travel demand and shrinking supplies,” said Dennis Kissler, senior vice president of trading at BOK Financial.
This trading day needs to pay attention to the USD Baker Hughes Total Rig Count changes, USD PCE(MAY) and USD Personal Spending MoM (MAY). At the same time, we need to pay attention to the performance of USD Chicago PMI (JUN) and EUR CPI (JUN).
