The Israeli military claims it has launched a new round of large-scale attacks in Tehran.The Iranian armed forces stated that they respect Türkiyes sovereignty and denied firing any missiles at its territory.TSMC (TSM.N) responded to concerns that a war with Iran could disrupt the raw material supply chain: it is not expected to have a significant impact at present.On March 5th, sources indicated that the Bank of England is planning to conduct a simulation to assess the potential economic and financial impact of a full-blown artificial intelligence (AI) shock, due to concerns that the technology could lead to the loss of numerous jobs and disrupt a wide range of businesses. The Bank of England will also consider incorporating the assessment into broader bank stress tests to reflect a potential surge in loan defaults by households and businesses and the damage this could cause to banks. The UKs Office for Budget Responsibility calculated this week that AI-driven "technological job replacements" could result in an additional 500,000 job losses, no increase in economic growth, and an additional £9 billion in government borrowing annually. The Bank of England has previously warned of the potential financial consequences of a collapse in AI stock valuations and is closely monitoring the use of AI within the financial industry, but has commented little on the potential risks of a broader economic shock.Sources familiar with the matter revealed that ExxonMobil (XOM.N) plans to ship at least 300,000 barrels of gasoline from the Gulf Coast to Australia to meet its import needs in the country.

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.
