In its semi-annual Financial Stability Review, the ECB stated on Wednesday that despite recent market adjustments, asset prices remain "high" compared to historical levels. The report noted that downside risks at the geopolitical, fiscal, and macro-financial levels appear to be "underestimated" by the market. ECB Vice President Guindos stated, "This makes the market susceptible to sharp repricing. Once financial markets experience volatility, non-bank financial institutions could amplify this shock." The ECB emphasized that the Eurozone sovereign bond market is currently operating "orderly" with narrow spreads, but warned that the rising proportion of price-sensitive investors such as hedge funds, and fiscal sustainability issues in some countries, including the United States, could trigger or amplify sudden repricing of risky assets. These risks mean that controlling fiscal spending is becoming increasingly important. The ECB also warned of financial stability risks in the private lending market.South Koreas Ministry of Foreign Affairs: It will summon the Iranian ambassador to share the findings of its investigation.ECB Vice President Guindos: We have been telling banks to increase their investment in cybersecurity to address the risks of artificial intelligence.

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.
