On May 22, Nomura Securities predicted that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged until 2026 due to rising inflation and weakening support for policy easing from Federal Reserve officials, reducing the likelihood of a near-term rate cut. "Incoming Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh may still have the incentive to ease policy, but recent data and comments from Fed officials make us doubt his ability to convince a majority of the Federal Open Market Committee to support rate cuts," Nomura said in a report on May 21. The firm had previously projected 25-basis-point rate cuts in September and December of this year.According to the Financial Times, the French finance minister stated that countries cannot decide whether to release more oil reserves until they understand how long the conflict with Iran will last.According to the Financial Times, JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) is seeking to reduce its $4 billion exposure to private equity-related loans.According to the Financial Times, the European film industry is urging EU regulators to review the deal between Warner Bros.

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.
