On September 20th, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf stated that the notion of choosing between "war and negotiation" is wrong. Iran must fight back rationally and forcefully, and negotiate with an authoritative and rational attitude at the appropriate time. Ghalibaf said that Iran has clearly conveyed its conditions to the other side through intermediaries.

UBS estimates that memory-related spending will surge from $71 billion in 2025 to $367 billion this year, reaching $923 billion in 2027. Other AI-related costs are projected at $631 billion in 2026, declining to $525 billion in 2027. This means that rising memory costs this year will contribute approximately 60% of the increase in AI capital expenditure; and by 2027, with declining spending on other components, the increase in memory costs may even exceed the total net increase in AI capital expenditure.September 20 - According to Australian sources, a knife attack occurred in Sydney, Australia on the 20th, resulting in the death of one child and serious injuries to two other children and a woman.Emergency services in the Kyiv region of Ukraine say a Russian drone strike killed a mother and her two children overnight.

Forecast for the price of gold: Pre-NFP trade slowdown around $1,790 according to XAU/USD

As traders exhibit the normal concern ahead of the important US employment data on Friday, the price of gold (XAU/USD) seesaws near the monthly peak. Despite this, the price of yellow metal fluctuates between $1,788 and $1,791 as of the morning of the press in Europe.

 

The market's conflicting fears about the global recession and the most recent geopolitical stories affecting Taiwan, in addition to the pre-NFP caution, further contribute to the XAU/USD's movement. It's important to note that the options market sends conflicting signals and presents difficulties for gold purchasers.

 

The recent increase in US Treasury rates has helped to strengthen the US currency and put downward pressure on the price of gold, but it also seems to have lessened concerns about a global economic downturn.

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) reverses a two-day slump and registers modest gains at 106.00. The dollar index declined during the previous two days before consolidating recent losses by monitoring the yields. It's important to note that after falling during the previous two days, the US 10-year Treasury rates have stabilized at roughly 2.069 percent. The disparity between the coupons for 10-year and 2-year bonds is still the largest it has been since 2000, yet US Treasury rates have continued to show the possibility of a recession.

 

Geopolitical issues from the Taiwan Strait are also a problem for gold purchasers elsewhere, as China expresses its displeasure with Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the US House of Representatives, visiting Taipei. According to West Official, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently stated at an East Asia meeting that China's response to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan had been "flagrantly aggressive."

 

In terms of the options market's attitude, a one-month risk reversal (RR) of gold prices ends a three-week downturn when seen weekly, but if observed daily, it causes a third straight day of decline. It should be mentioned that the risk reversal term refers to the spread between bullish and bearish bets, namely the call options and put options (RR).

 

In conclusion, gold prices are still stable, but the bad news outweighs the good news, therefore today's US employment data for July will be important for the short-term outlook. The US dollar's recovery may continue and impact on gold prices if the employment numbers look to be higher than expected.
