Gold exports nearly increased tenfold, and beef exports climbed 47% during the same period. Economist James McIntyre wrote, "This is not the first time a small, open economy has unexpectedly benefited from competition with larger trading partners. Australias diversified commodity base positions it favorably in a changing global landscape." In the 12 months to September, Australia sold A$16.4 billion (approximately US$10.6 billion) worth of safe-haven gold to the US, compared to just A$1.6 billion the previous year. Australian beef producers, who had expected to be impacted by Trumps tariff policies, unexpectedly gained a relative advantage as major suppliers like Brazil faced higher tariffs. However, this boost may be short-lived, as the Trump administration has removed a key tariff on Brazilian beef. The positive effects of gold sales may be more lasting. McIntyre wrote that if gold prices remain high in 2026, gold exports will contribute an additional A$15 billion, equivalent to 0.5% of GDP.Indonesias state-owned oil company: Fuel retailer VIVO has agreed to purchase 100,000 barrels of gasoline from Pertamina.

Before the US PMI is released, the gold price is expected to rise beyond $1,740 per ounce

On the back of conflicting forecasts for US Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) data, the gold price (XAU/USD) is trying to break above $1,740.00. A new monthly low of $1,727.85 was recorded for the precious metal on Monday, but it has since rallied strongly. Given the lack of impetus in the upward trend, the gold price is likely to stay volatile. However, a pullback may be less profitable.

 

The consensus for the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI is 51.5, which is down from the prior reading of 52.2. When compared to its previous reading of 47.3, the Services PMI has room to grow.

 

The yellow metal has been supported by the disappointing early estimates of US Durable Goods Orders. From a previous release of 2%, the market expects the economic figures to sharply decrease to 0.5%. It's important to note that the most recent reading showed no change in underlying pricing pressures, which stood at 5.9%. So, we expect to see little change, if any, in the Durable Goods Orders numbers. Unfortunately, a precipitous drop in economic statistics portends a precipitous drop in demand.

 

The other thing that will be in the spotlight is Federal Reserve (Fed) chair Jerome Powell's remarks from the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium. US economic conditions and Fed Powell's direction on inflationary pressures and interest rates will be determined by him.

 

Gold prices on an hourly scale are looking to continue their recovery after breaking above the $1,729.44 61.8% Fibonacci retracement (set from the low of $1,680.91 on July 21 to the high of $1,807.93 on August 10). Gold has been testing the resistance of the 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around $1,738.00; a sustained move above this level would signal a change in trend toward the bullish side.

 

Furthermore, the Relative Strength Index (14), which had been negative in the 20.00-40.00 range, has moved into the bullish 40.00-60.00 zone, indicating that gold prices are currently not bearish.
