On August 15th, Mexican President Jacques Sinbaum stated at a morning press conference on August 14th that the US decision to revoke the visa of the son of former Mexican President López Obrador was politically motivated and constituted interference in Mexicos internal affairs. Sinbaum emphasized that Mexico must remain steadfast in the face of such events, and that Mexico and the US should maintain a mutually respectful bilateral relationship. In fact, the US revoked the visas of at least six Mexican ruling party officials in 2026 alone. Simultaneously, citing involvement in drug trafficking to the US, the US requested the extradition of four current governors, mayors, and members of parliament, as well as six former officials, to the US for trial. The Mexican government rejected the US request, citing insufficient evidence from the US.UK Maritime Trade Organization: No damage assessment reported; environmental impact unknown.UK Maritime Trade Organization: A projectile struck the hull; crew reports safety.The UK Maritime Trade Organization: We have received reports that a bulk carrier was attacked by an unidentified object in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday.On August 15th, the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Consular Department reported that no foreign citizens were injured or killed in the earthquake.

Gold price prediction: XAU/USD slips to $1,690 on Fed forecasts; US retail sales expected

Gold price (XAU/USD) has adopted a downward trend after falling below Wednesday's minimum of $1,693.67. The precious metal is falling nearing $1,690.00 as bears take control of rising probabilities for a massive Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hike in the near future.

 

Earlier symptoms of weariness have dissipated as a result of Tuesday's higher-than-anticipated US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. Despite declining gasoline costs, the headline US CPI was announced at 8.3%, which was higher than the 8.2% prediction. The investment community believed that inflation had begun to respond to the Federal Reserve's (Fed) raising interest rates and that a succession of declining price pressures would soon enable the Fed to adopt a 'neutral' stance.

 

However, a US inflation report that exceeded forecasts demonstrates that the road to a neutral monetary policy is far from complete. Moreover, predictions of a one percent rate increase are currently ascendant.

 

In today's session, the US Retail Sales report will be of paramount importance. The economic data estimates do not indicate any improvement in retail demand. This could be the outcome of a fall in consumer confidence in the economy.

 

The gold price has experienced a precipitous decline after demonstrating a textbook-style test and the collapse of a consolidation pattern. On an hourly scale, the consolidation formed within the region of $1,697.12-1,709.62. At $1,698.70, the yellow metal is trading below the 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which increases the downside filters.
