Market news: The Pentagon has allocated a budget and set a timetable for the classified "Golden Dome" space program.On August 8th, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessant posted on social media: "Todays jobs report underestimates the underlying strength of the real economy: businesses are being built, factories are producing, and worker productivity is increasing. July marked the fifth consecutive month of job growth in goods-producing sectors. So far this year, goods-producing sectors have created 105,000 jobs, marking the strongest seven-month start since 2023. Furthermore, second-quarter productivity growth more than doubled expectations, creating favorable conditions for sustained U.S. economic growth and real wage increases for U.S. workers. Strong third-quarter economic growth expectations further indicate that the U.S. economy is poised for accelerated growth. As the U.S. produces more and worker productivity continues to rise, the U.S. economy will benefit: higher wages, stronger businesses, more consumer choice, and economic expansion built on supply-side strength that can reduce inflation, rather than relying on short-term stimulus effects."U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessenter: The economy is expected to accelerate.U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessenter: Today’s jobs report underestimates the potential strength of the U.S. economy.According to Reuters, the White House sent a letter to Federal Reserve Governor Cook dated August 5, requesting her to provide a written response to related statements within 21 days.

XAUUSD expects gold prices to rise over $1,730, marking a 1% increase from current levels. Federal Reserve abandons plans to raise interest rates

The gold price (XAUUSD) has recovered well and is now aiming to return to its weekly high around $1,740.00. Gold regained its strength last week after falling to close key support of $1,680.00. After re-testing the 11-month low of $1,679.80, gold prices have rebounded by more than 3.30 percent in only two days thanks to the efforts of gold bulls.

 

Following massive cuts to forecasts for a rate rise by the Federal Reserve (Fed), the US dollar index (DXY) gave up its early gains on Friday. The gloomy S&P PMI data and falling inflation expectations reduced the likelihood of a rate rise by the Federal Reserve at its monetary policy meeting on Wednesday by 100 basis points (bps).

 

After long-term inflation expectations dropped to 2.8% in July from 3.1% in June, investors gambled on a subsequent rate rise of 75 basis points from the Fed rather than a rate hike of 1%.

 

The S&P issued the PMI data on Friday, and it showed that conditions had not improved in any significant ways. A reading of 47.5 for the Global Composite PMI was far below both the forecasted 51.7 and the previously reported 52.3. If we look at the Manufacturing and Services sectors more broadly, we see that the former catalyst was at 52.3, down from 52.7, and the latter was recorded at 47, down from 52.7. For this reason, the Fed will likely remain cautiously hawkish even if the PMI improves.

 

Investors will be looking ahead to Wednesday's US Durable Goods Orders report in addition to the Fed's interest rate announcement. We anticipate a reading of -0.2% for economic growth, which is down sharply from the previous reading of 0.82%.
