January 24th - According to The Hill, a new poll shows that a majority of respondents have a negative view of the performance of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). A poll released Friday by The New York Times and Siena College found that 63% of registered voters disapprove of ICEs handling of the situation, while only 36% approve. Of those, 55% expressed "strong disapproval," while only 24% expressed "strong approval." This poll was conducted after the shooting death of 37-year-old Renee Good by ICE officers in Minneapolis, an incident that sparked weeks of unrest in the city. As part of the Trump administrations aggressive crackdown on immigration, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) deployed immigration officials to Minnesota. However, local officials say that citizens and other legal residents have also been treated unfairly in these operations, and tensions between protesters and federal officials remain high.Air raid sirens sounded in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, on January 24 local time.The Cyberspace Administration of China has issued a notice soliciting public comments on the "Guidelines for the Classification and Grading of Financial Information Service Data (Draft for Comment)".Ukrainian President Zelensky: Russia launched a large-scale attack on several regions of Ukraine early this morning, firing more than 370 drones and 21 missiles of different types, resulting in one death and dozens of injuries.January 24th - According to sources, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently visited China, with his first stop being Nvidias new office in Shanghai.

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.
