Abstract:Spot gold was slightly lower during the Asian session on Thursday (May 25), currently trading around $1,955.68 per ounce.
Market Overview
Spot gold was slightly lower during the Asian session on Thursday (May 25), currently trading around $1,955.68 per ounce. The U.S. economy remains resilient causing traders to cut bets on a series of interest rate cuts this year, and the U.S. dollar index continues to strengthen, refreshing more than two-month highs; U.S. bond yields also remain strong, weighing significantly on gold prices. Although concerns about debt default remain, the support provided to gold prices is effective, as the market is still widely expected to reach a last-minute agreement.
U.S. crude oil is slightly weaker, and is currently trading near $74.07 per barrel. Rating agency Fitch put the U.S. credit rating on watch for a possible downgrade on Wednesday, adding to jitters in global markets and weighing on oil prices. However, with EIA data showing a sharp drop in U.S. crude inventories last week, the U.S. also coming off a high summer demand, and Saudi Arabia's previous warning that short sellers will continue to feel the pain, oil prices remain biased long in the aftermarket.
Investors need to pay close attention to further news on the U.S. debt ceiling negotiations. In addition, this trading day, investors need to pay attention to the change in the U.S. initial jobless claims and watch for revisions to the U.S. GDP series for the first quarter. Keep an eye on speeches by Fed officials and watch for changes in market expectations for the April PCE data (to be released on Friday).
