However, due to concerns about a near-certain Iranian retaliation and its impact on the global oil market, US officials stated that no action has been taken yet. If the US takes action to prevent other sanctioned vessels from loading oil in Iran, it will squeeze Tehrans main source of revenue. This move would expand the White Houses aggressive strategy implemented in the Caribbean last December. However, some officials say that this option, as one of several ways the White House is pressuring Tehran to reach an agreement limiting its nuclear program, faces numerous obstacles, with seizures even being seen as an act of war. In response to the escalating US strikes, Iran is likely to retaliate by seizing oil tankers belonging to US allies in the region, or even laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Either move could cause a sharp rise in oil prices and risk a political storm for the White House.The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 52.27 points, or 0.10%, to close at 50,188.14 on Tuesday, February 10; the S&P 500 fell 23.02 points, or 0.33%, to close at 6,941.80; and the Nasdaq Composite fell 136.20 points, or 0.59%, to close at 23,102.47.

Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD views $1,800 as upbeat US labor market fuels hawkish Fed wagers

Gold price (XAU / USD) appears vulnerable above $1,810.00 as the upside appears constrained by rising Federal Reserve rate expectations (Fed). The precious metal is anticipated to resume its decline as strong United States Employment data reported by Automatic Data Processing (ADP) has confirmed that January's strong consumer spending and higher payrolls were not a one-time blow to the Consumer Price Index's decline (CPI).

 

S&P500 futures have given up the slight gains they made on Wednesday during the Asian session. As China's CPI and Producer Price Index (PPI) figures indicate deflation, the risk-aversion theme has intensified. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has maintained a sideways trend above 105.20 as investors await the publication of US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data for fresh direction signals. The alpha provided by 10-year US Treasury bonds has risen above 3.98 percent.

 

The official US Employment data is expected to indicate a decline in the payrolls to 203K from the former release of 514k. A figure of 203K is not as terrible as January's 514K figure, but it appears insignificant in comparison. Investors should be aware that a figure of 514K in the last seven months was exceptional.

 

Aside from that, it is anticipated that the unemployment rate will remain at a multi-decade low of 3.4%. The Average Hourly Earnings are expected to ascend to 4.8% on an annual basis. Household income may increase consumer expenditure. Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, has already confirmed that the Fed will increase interest rates in order to reduce inflation.
