According to Fubao Information monitoring, as of August 4th, the spot aluminum price was 23,720 yuan/ton, up 0.94% month-on-month and 15.82% year-on-year. Key influencing factors: 1. The ongoing situation in the Middle East is concerning, raising concerns about its impact on the inflation path. While the supply and demand balance of aluminum itself has not been significantly disrupted, geopolitical uncertainties and reduced domestic and international inventories provide some support for aluminum prices. Following the Feds unchanged interest rate and Warshs slightly neutral stance, the market anticipates a rate hike in the fourth quarter, continuing to monitor the inflation process, which has eased some upward pressure on commodities. 2. Fundamentals remain relatively stable. Aluminum smelter operating rates are steadily increasing, the industrys aluminum-to-water ratio is high, downstream and end-user demand is resilient, and there are no obvious off-season characteristics. Aluminum ingot social inventories continue to decline, but the decline has slowed after the price increase. It is expected that aluminum prices will fluctuate between 23,500-24,000 yuan/ton in the short term.A Russian nighttime attack on the Kyiv region of Ukraine has killed 14 people and injured 27.Global Chip LOF: Trading in this fund will be suspended from the opening of the market on the afternoon of August 5, 2026 until the close of the market on the same day.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD oscillates about $1,650 as DXY recovers recent losses

Gold price (XAU/USD) is indecisive while rebounding from intraday lows to $1,650 ahead of Tuesday's European session.

 

Nevertheless, the yellow metal attracted purchasers earlier in the day due to a weaker U.S. dollar, but the currency's recent resurgence looks to have weighed on the price recently. It should be mentioned that unfavorable concerns regarding China, one of the world's largest gold consumers, have recently posed a threat to the pricing of precious metals.

 

In the absence of Fed-speak, the US Dollar Index (DXY) gains bids to reclaim the 112.00 mark while trimming its first weekly loss in three weeks. It should be emphasized that the Fed's aggressive rhetoric and weak US PMIs also support the DXY's safe-haven appeal.

 

China's efforts to protect its struggling economy and worldwide pessimism regarding Xi Jinping's third term, not to mention Hang Seng's decline to a 13-year low, impose downward pressure on market mood and the XAU/USD exchange rate.

 

US 10-year Treasury rates continue under pressure around 4.21 percent, down two basis points (bps), while US stock futures and Asia-Pacific markets are moderately bid.

 

Moving forward, second-tier US Housing data and Consumer Confidence indicators may delight gold speculators before Thursday's third-quarter US Gross Domestic Product report (Q3).
