US President Trump: Iran will no longer be able to mock the United States.According to Saudi media alhadath, citing Israeli media reports, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will speak with US President Trump by phone tonight.The Azov Brigade of Ukraine claimed that it used AI-assisted drones to strike deep into Russian-controlled Mariupol, hitting targets 160 kilometers behind the front lines. The Azov Brigade stated that this was a symbolic "return" to the city.On May 11, French President Emmanuel Macron, who was visiting Kenya on May 10, stated that France had "never considered" any "deployment" in the Strait of Hormuz. In response to plans by France and the UK to send additional warships to the Red Sea and the waters surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Gharibabadi posted on social media on May 10 that any external military deployment under the guise of "protecting shipping" would "no less exacerbate the crisis and militarize this crucial waterway." Only Iran can guarantee the security of the strait and will not allow any country to interfere.On May 11, following reports that Iran had responded to the US ceasefire proposal, Sultan Barakat, a professor at Hamad bin Khalifa University in Qatar, warned against expecting a swift breakthrough in negotiations. Barakat stated that a comprehensive peace agreement is still a long way off, and this should not be considered the end of the US-Iran conflict for an extended period. He pointed out that Iran has accumulated considerable resentment during the war; the deaths of its supreme leader and his family, numerous senior officials, and the immense destruction caused by the war have made it difficult for the Iranian people to trust the United States. However, both sides hope to extend the ceasefire as long as possible and use it as a starting point for gradually resolving various issues through negotiations. Barakat noted that Iran initially hoped for a comprehensive peace agreement but has now shifted to a phased approach. He speculated that Iran might want to restore navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and propose a joint oversight plan with the US.

Forecast for Gold Price: XAU/USD licks US inflation-related wounds near $1,700

Gold price (XAU/USD) is under pressure near $1,700 as bears take a pause following the largest daily decline in two weeks due to US inflation. However, it should be noted that a lack of important data/events appeared to limit bullion's quick movements throughout Wednesday's Asian session.

 

Tuesday's US inflation statistics rekindled fears about the Federal Reserve's fast rate hike and exacerbated recession concerns. Also acting as factors for a decline in the XAU/USD are geopolitical concerns over China and Russia.

 

In August, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) surpassed market expectations by increasing 8.3% year-over-year (YOY), compared to 8.8% previously. However, the monthly data increased to 0.1%, exceeding the -0.1% anticipated and 0.0% previous estimates. The core CPI, which excludes food and energy, likewise exceeded the 6.1% consensus and 5.9% prior to printing at 6.3% for the month in question.

 

Following the release of US inflation statistics, wagers on the Fed's next move became further aggressive, with a 75 basis point (bps) raise next week appearing nearly probable. There is a 25% possibility that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will announce a complete 1% hike in the benchmark Fed rate at its meeting on September 21.

 

It should be mentioned that the yield inversion expanded after US inflation data and fueled recession concerns, which in turn weighed on the XAU/USD values due to the pair's reputation as a risk-barometer. However, following the release of the data, rates on 10-year US Treasury notes rose to 3.412% and those on 2-year bonds rose to 3.76%, from roughly 3.411% and 3.745%, respectively. In addition, the US stock market experienced its largest daily decline in over two years following the announcement of the US CPI, which thrilled metal bearish.

 

In addition to the rush toward deeper ties with China, US Vice President Joe Biden's efforts to raise China's troubles contribute to Sino-American tensions. In addition, worries that Russia will retaliate harshly after retreating from certain regions of Ukraine weighed on market mood and the price of gold.

 

A light schedule ahead of the US Producer Price Index (PPI) may keep XAU/USD on the precarious floor, but bears are likely to maintain control until Thursday's US Retail Sales for the month of August and Friday's preliminary reading of the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index for September.
