Market Overview
Spot gold was narrowly oscillating during the Asian session on Tuesday (May 16) and is currently trading near $2015.11 per ounce. The market is generally waiting for the debt ceiling negotiation between President Biden and Republican House Speaker McCarthy later in the day, and the market is in a wait-and-see mood. Previous concerns about debt default to gold prices to provide safe-haven support, but the current market optimism that the U.S. may reach a debt ceiling agreement has risen, which puts gold prices at some downside risk in the short term.
In addition, a number of Federal Reserve officials downplayed the expected rate cuts during the year, but also slightly negative gold prices.
This trading day will usher the U.S. monthly rate of retail sales in April, the market is expected to 0.7% (previously 0.1%), the expected slightly more favorable dollar and negative gold prices.
This trading day will also usher in a number of Federal Reserve officials to speak, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee will also hold hearings on the bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, investors need to pay attention to.
U.S. crude oil is in a narrow range and is currently trading near $70.95 per barrel. Oil prices are supported by news of the U.S. announcement to buy back oil for the emergency Strategic Petroleum Reserve, supply concerns exacerbated by raging wildfires in Canada, and market expectations that the U.S. will reach a debt ceiling deal have also risen, providing support to oil prices. However, with Fed officials speaking in hawkish terms, dampening expectations for interest rate cuts during the year, and the relative strength of the dollar index, it is still important to beware of the risk of oil prices returning to a downward trend.
This trading day, please focus on the U.S. API crude oil inventory series, the U.S. April monthly rate of retail sales, the U.S. April monthly rate of industrial output, Fed officials' speeches and the U.S. debt ceiling negotiations.
