The price had reached a record high in May, and despite the reduction, the June premium remains the second highest on record. With the Strait of Hormuz essentially closed, export channels for Gulf oil-producing countries are severely hampered. Saudi Arabia is one of the few countries still able to export crude oil via pipeline through the port of Yanbu in the western Red Sea. Traders pointed out that Saudi Aramcos OSP primarily targets crude oil loaded at the port of Rastanura in the Persian Gulf; supplies from Yanbu may incur additional costs. Saudi Aramco uses Dubai and Oman benchmarks for pricing; since the Middle East wars led to a shortage of regional benchmark crude oil, these two indices have become more volatile, declining from their March highs in April.U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: The Freedom Project will rescue nearly 23,000 civilians from 87 different countries trapped in the Persian Gulf.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD declines toward 200-SMA retest as yields support US Dollar recovery

During the first day of losses in four prior to the European session, the gold price (XAU/USD) oscillates around the intraday low of $1,831. In doing so, the precious metal validates the stronger US Dollar and risk-averse market sentiment on a slow Thursday.

 

US Dollar Index (DXY) rebounded from a one-week low to 104.60 at the latest, up 0.17 percent intraday, as greenback supporters tracked robust US Treasury bond yields and cheered sour sentiment amid hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) talks. The increase in US Treasury bond yields reflects the market's apprehension, which has recently pressured Wall Street investors and weighed on S&P 500 Futures. On the same side may be the ardent Minneapolis Federal Reserve (Fed) President Neel Kashkari, as well as the policymakers of the Bank of England (BoE) and the European Central Bank (ECB).

 

Gold purchasers are encouraged by the recent improvement in China's economic data and the country's policymakers' upbeat remarks. China's Minister of Human Resources recently stated, "China's employment will continue to increase this year and remains stable overall." On Wednesday, China's Finance Minister Liu He expressed a willingness to increase the country's fiscal expenditure while noting that the foundation of China's economic recovery remains fragile.

 

Moving on, G20 updates could be combined with central banker comments and US secondary data to amuse XAU/USD traders.
