The banks research division previously predicted that the deposit facility rate would peak at 2.5% (currently at 2.25%), but now believes these assumptions are being challenged. Despite the ongoing conflict in Iran posing an upside risk to inflation, the Eurozone labor market remains relatively weak, with little evidence to date that broader price pressures are driving wage growth. While the bank currently sees 2.75% as a more likely terminal interest rate level, it notes that a faster easing of geopolitical tensions and weaker growth could keep the rate cap at 2.5%, and a move above 3% lacks justification without broader inflationary pressures. The ECB is scheduled to announce its interest rate decision on September 10th, with a rate hike widely expected.Deutsche Bank: The European Central Bank is expected to continue raising interest rates until December.On September 7th, Mirae Asset Securities analyst Kim Young-gun stated that Samsung Electronics expansion in HBM shipments for AI applications is expected to offset the impact of a slowdown in general-purpose memory chip growth next year.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD oscillates about $1,650 as DXY recovers recent losses

Gold price (XAU/USD) is indecisive while rebounding from intraday lows to $1,650 ahead of Tuesday's European session.

 

Nevertheless, the yellow metal attracted purchasers earlier in the day due to a weaker U.S. dollar, but the currency's recent resurgence looks to have weighed on the price recently. It should be mentioned that unfavorable concerns regarding China, one of the world's largest gold consumers, have recently posed a threat to the pricing of precious metals.

 

In the absence of Fed-speak, the US Dollar Index (DXY) gains bids to reclaim the 112.00 mark while trimming its first weekly loss in three weeks. It should be emphasized that the Fed's aggressive rhetoric and weak US PMIs also support the DXY's safe-haven appeal.

 

China's efforts to protect its struggling economy and worldwide pessimism regarding Xi Jinping's third term, not to mention Hang Seng's decline to a 13-year low, impose downward pressure on market mood and the XAU/USD exchange rate.

 

US 10-year Treasury rates continue under pressure around 4.21 percent, down two basis points (bps), while US stock futures and Asia-Pacific markets are moderately bid.

 

Moving forward, second-tier US Housing data and Consumer Confidence indicators may delight gold speculators before Thursday's third-quarter US Gross Domestic Product report (Q3).
