Market bets that the Federal Reserve may maintain higher interest rates or even raise rates again propelled the dollar to a gain of approximately 2% in June. Analysts believe that expectations of Fed monetary tightening and the resilience of the US economy are jointly supporting the dollars performance, but some institutions point out that recent weak employment data may limit further upside potential.Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney: If negotiations with Germanys TKMS fail, Canada will reserve the right to begin submarine cooperation negotiations with South Koreas Hanwha Group.July 7th - According to CFTC data, as of the week ending June 30th, hedge funds pushed their net short positions in the yen to nearly 138,000 contracts in the futures and options markets, the most pessimistic level since 2007.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU / USD will continue to fluctuate above $1,900 despite a decline in US Inflation

Gold price (XAU / USD) is not in danger despite U.S. inflation figures meeting expectations. Since Monday, the precious metal has been fluctuating continuously between $1,895 and $1,913. The release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) failed to produce a significant reaction in the Gold price; however, the upside bias appears to be solidified as wagers on lesser rate increases from the Federal Reserve (Fed) have increased.

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) is protecting the critical support at 103.50, but it appears vulnerable to further losses as investors' risk appetite has dramatically increased. As market participants purchased S&P500 futures in response to higher odds of a smaller rate hike from Fed chair Jerome Powell, a likely recession in the US economy was postponed, signaling an uptick in optimism.

 

Contrary to the risk-on sentiment, demand for US Treasury bonds remained weak, causing 10-year US Treasury yields to rise above 3.68 percent.

 

The headline As anticipated, the US CPI increased by 0.4% on a monthly basis, and the annual figure decreased from 6.4% to 6.0%. In addition, the core CPI, which excludes crude and food prices, decreased to 5.5% from 5.6% previously. The Fed appears to be pleased with the persistence of a declining trend in US inflation.

 

In the future, investors will closely monitor the US Retail Sales (Feb) data. Monthly Retail Sales data is anticipated to decline by 0.3% compared to the previous release of a 3.0% increase. This indicates that the consumer spending rebound is over and the Fed is on course to achieve its inflation target of 2%.
