Market Overview
On Thursday (July 20), spot gold shocked higher during the Asian session, once hit a nearly two-month high to $1987.34 per ounce. Because the market on the Fed rate hike is coming to an end and inflation has slowed down very confident, the dollar index is again under pressure, to the gold price to provide the opportunity to punch higher; and Russia's withdrawal from the Black Sea grain export agreement also increased some risk aversion, the ECB officials made dovish speeches, Britain's inflation data is weaker than expected, means that the ECB and the BOE may also be close to the end of the interest rate hike cycle, but also give bias to support the price of gold. However, resistance is strong around 1986, and gold prices are currently back down near $1981.33 per ounce.
Market eyes have begun to turn to next week's Federal Reserve meeting, despite the probability of a 25 basis point interest rate hike, but it is expected to be the last interest rate hike, and the wording of the dovish possibility is relatively large.
Before next week's Fed meeting, traders will be concerned about the evening will come out of the U.S. Initial Jobless Claims change data, the data is expected to rise from the previous week's 237,000 people to 242,000 people, the expectations are slightly biased in favor of gold prices.
However, the U.S. dollar index showed some signs of stabilization rebound, if the continuation of the rebound trend, perhaps will suppress the gold price trend; and the U.S. stock market continues to rush high, also slightly suppress the gold safe-haven buying demand.
U.S. crude oil traded near $75.21 a barrel; oil prices rallied on Wednesday as investors took profits after earlier gains on tight U.S. crude supplies, and a weaker-than-expected drop in U.S. crude stockpiles last week in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve last week limited gains despite the first increase in U.S. crude stockpiles in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in two years.
