The European Council has introduced temporary trade liberalization measures for Armenian products.The EU has approved a power supply guarantee mechanism for Germany worth up to €35 billion.Market news: Houthi rebels launched missiles at Saudi-backed forces assembly points in Taiz province, Yemen.On September 2nd, Ryanair, one of Europes largest airlines, cut winter capacity on Wednesday to reduce its exposure to unhedged jet fuel prices as high as $140 per barrel. Ryanair is one of the airlines with the most comprehensive jet fuel hedging measures, having already locked in approximately 80% of its jet fuel demand. Despite this, high oil prices still forced the company to reduce capacity, and it expects to save €70 million to €100 million (approximately $81 million to $115 million) as a result. In a statement, Ryanair noted that if jet fuel prices remain high, other airlines will face survival difficulties, and it will lead to a "significant increase" in airfares on short-haul European routes next year. Jeff Currie, a senior advisor at The Carlyle Group, warned investors a few weeks ago to pay attention to the refined oil market, emphasizing that the prices the market focuses on are not the truly key indicator: "Nobody in the world directly consumes crude oil; only refineries consume it. Everyone else consumes gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, and those markets are in a much worse state."Two Iraqi energy officials said that Iraqs oil exports rose to about 2.34 million barrels per day in August from about 1.35 million barrels per day in July.

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.
