Market Overview
Spot gold was shockingly weak during the Asian session on Monday (April 3) and is currently trading near $1952.83 per ounce. OPEC unexpectedly cut production on Weekend, international oil prices rose sharply, market concerns that global inflation will pick up again, which will increase the pressure of the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates, helping the dollar index rose to nearly a week high, on gold prices weighed significantly.
Short-term expected gold prices still have further downside risk, but the evening will be released in the United States in March ISM manufacturing PMI data. The market is expected to be poor, which is expected to provide some support to gold prices.
U.S. oil spiked nearly 8% at one point, hitting a near two-month high of $81.49 per barrel. Benefiting from OPEC+'s surprise announcement of a sharp production cut on Sunday, which could lead to a tightening of market supply and a new inflationary shock to the global economy. And with the implementation rate of OPEC's March production cut agreement rising to 173% due to the shutdown of production in Angola and Iraq, oil prices are long and strong, and oil prices are expected to point to $100 per barrel.
In addition, investors need to watch for OPEC+ to hold an online meeting of the ministerial committee including Russia and Saudi Arabia and watch for changes in market expectations for other economic data such as non-farm payrolls this week.
