On August 5th, Nick Timiraos, a vocal advocate for the Federal Reserve, wrote that Treasury Secretary Bessants policy response function has become less dovish. His comments this year suggested the Fed should maintain its current interest rates. Earlier this year, Bessant cited models suggesting the Feds interest rate could be more than 25 to 100 basis points above the neutral rate. Today (August 4th), he raised two points. First, he defended Warshs decision last week not to elaborate on any policy response function: "I think every meeting should be open, and market participants should make their own judgments… I think Warsh wanted to preserve options to achieve the best outcome." Second, he did propose a policy response function that could be considered dovish, arguing that recent shocks should be ignored: "What will be the impact of rising short-term interest rates? Well see." He raised this question but then responded by noting that underlying inflation was "very modest… very stable." "Core inflation, after removing the energy-dependent volatility component, has been very stable. I think this will continue."Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman: The flight routes under negotiation are aimed at ensuring the sovereign rights and national security considerations of both Iran and Oman.Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman: The focus of the negotiations is to determine safe passageways in and out of the Strait of Hormuz.Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson: The final results of the negotiations will be released after being compiled and summarized.The China Earthquake Networks Center automatically determined that an earthquake of approximately magnitude 3.6 occurred near Gao County, Yibin City, Sichuan Province (28.55 degrees north latitude, 104.68 degrees east longitude) at 23:58 on August 4.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD stays range-bound over $1,800 despite a rebound in risk-on sentiment

In the Asian session, the gold price (XAU/USD) is fluctuating modestly above the psychological resistance of $1,800.00. Despite an early-trade pullback in the US Dollar Index (DXY), the precious metal is demonstrating a dismal performance. After reaching a four-day high of 104.56 on Wednesday, the US Dollar Index has plummeted to a level below 104.30.

 

In the meantime, S&P500 futures are providing optimism for a rebound following a two-day decline. In addition, risk-perceived currencies are regaining traction as investors shrug off concerns regarding an increase in Covid-19 cases in China. Following the rise of the US Dollar Index, rates on 10-year US Treasuries have decreased to about 3.86 percent.

 

During the holiday week, the economic calendar had nothing concrete to give; nonetheless, Wednesday's release of U.S. Pending Home Sales data revealed the effects of rising interest rates by the Federal Reserve (Fed). As a result of the Fed's decision to raise the interest rate to 4.5 percent, economic data for the month of November fell by 4 percent to the lowest level in 20 years.

 

On a two-hour period, the gold price is auctioning in a neutral channel, indicating a reduction in volatility due to the absence of significant economic events. After approaching the 100-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around $1,802.20, the precious metal has regained power. In addition, the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $1,793.35 is trending higher, indicating that the upside bias remains strong.

 

In the meantime, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) oscillates between 40.00 and 60.00, indicating that the Gold price is awaiting a new catalyst for a dramatic rise.
