The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre reported that a 4.9-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Northern California, USA, at a depth of 10.0 kilometers.August 29th - US President Trump: New York Governor Kathy Hozul supports Canada, not the United States, and Canada has been taking advantage of New York for years, especially during her tenure. Can you imagine her saying she doesnt respect or recognize "American Lakes"? This is why the "stupid Democrats" are so harmful to our country. Vote for Bruce Blackman as Governor of New York. He has my complete and utter support and will never let you down!On August 29th, CICC pointed out that Federal Reserve Chairman Warshs speech at Jackson Hole was hawkish: he acknowledged that inflation remained high, clarified that interest rates would remain the primary policy tool, and stated that he would "act as needed." He also cited economic resilience, stable employment, and loose financial conditions as evidence that current policy risks are more skewed towards inflation. He also attributed the 65-month period of excessive inflation to the central bank itself, correcting his ambiguous statement in July that "the market should raise rates in place of the Fed." CICC believes this speech helped rebuild the Feds credibility, and the market began trading on the marginal repair of policy credibility afterward. In the long term, Warsh still maintains that AI may reshape the economic and policy framework and continues to push for reforms such as reducing forward guidance. For the market, this statement increased the probability of a Fed rate hike this year, but even so, it is not necessarily purely negative. The market currently does not lack liquidity, but rather policy discipline and predictability. As long as inflation can be suppressed in a timely manner, it will actually benefit the market in the medium term.August 29th - According to the latest data released by the Nepalese police, as of 6:00 AM local time on the 29th, the death toll from flash floods in northern Nepal has risen to 616.

On the 26th, the Nepalese government decided, in accordance with relevant laws, to designate some local administrative units in the affected areas as disaster crisis zones for a period of three months, in order to concentrate relief resources, strengthen personnel management, and advance post-disaster recovery work.On August 29, U.S. Central Command Commander Brad Cooper stated on August 28 that approximately 50,000 U.S. troops are currently deployed in the Middle East, many of whom are enforcing the naval blockade against Iran.

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.
