A U.S. appeals court rejected the Trump administrations request to implement rules restricting mail-in voting.September 11 – According to the Wall Street Journal, citing informed officials in the US and the Middle East, Iran has resumed ballistic missile production, reassembling missiles in underground facilities using previously stockpiled components. Sources say Iran is producing liquid-fueled and solid-fueled ballistic missiles and is operating at multiple underground locations, including the Khojir missile facility in southeastern Iran, while also attempting to build new underground assembly sites to avoid further attacks. The report states that Iran is currently relying primarily on existing stockpiled components for low-scale production, with output below pre-war levels. A US official stated that Iran may be assembling at least several hundred missiles using existing components. The report cites analysts as saying that Iran previously stockpiled warheads, missile bodies, and guidance and control systems; new missile production depends on the size of the stockpile and the recovery of underground facilities, and could reach hundreds or even thousands of missiles. US Department of Defense spokesman Parnell stated that the US has destroyed "up to 90%" of Irans drones, ballistic missiles, and naval industrial infrastructure. Previously, US Defense Secretary Hergsays also stated that Irans missile program had been "substantially destroyed." However, satellite images show that Iran is repairing roads, bridges, production facilities, and missile base tunnel entrances, raising concerns among US and Israeli officials that its military capabilities are being restored.According to the Wall Street Journal, informed U.S. and Middle Eastern officials say Iran has resumed ballistic missile production using stockpiled parts and in underground facilities, undermining major war gains previously claimed by the U.S. and Israel.According to Al Jazeera, the UN Security Council meeting on Yemen, requested by the UK and Bahrain, will be held tonight local time.Officials involved: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator Bryan Bedford met with airline CEOs on Thursday to discuss plans to use software systems to reduce flight delays.

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.
