One source indicated that Vitol will seek to finalize the license details and specific terms for conducting business in Venezuela in the coming days.On January 9th, a Goldman Sachs survey found that geopolitical factors have driven institutional investors pessimistic view of oil to its highest level in nearly a decade, with the global market facing a supply glut. According to the Goldman Sachs survey, over 59% of more than 1,100 clients across various asset classes are bearish or slightly bearish on the crude oil market. This percentage is slightly higher than the lowest monthly level since records began in January 2016. Last year, crude oil prices suffered their worst performance since 2020 due to increased production from OPEC+, record increases in US production, and increased supply from countries like Brazil and Guyana. This year, the supply glut is expected to widen further. An end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict would likely eliminate supply disruptions and sanctions on Russian crude. Meanwhile, the US plans to control future oil sales from Venezuela, pushing the South American nations crude onto the market.January 9 - Jorge Rodríguez, president of the Venezuelan National Assembly, said on January 8 that the Venezuelan government has decided to immediately release a "large number" of foreign and Venezuelan prisoners in order to demonstrate a "peaceful gesture."

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.
