On September 14th, UBS precious metals strategist Joni Teves noted in a report that gold investors may have already turned their attention to the situation following the next action by the Federal Reserve. She expects the market to have largely priced in the rate hike and will focus more on other reasons to buy gold, such as its attractiveness as a diversification tool and the continued robust demand from official sectors. She added that India is approaching its peak gold demand season, and investment activity in China also appears to be providing support for the gold market. She believes that gold prices may remain volatile in the short term, but the possibility of further gains by the end of the year is increasing. She pointed out that even if the Fed raises rates in September, gold may still experience a "reflexive pullback," but this will not disrupt the overall recovery trend.At the close of the morning session, most domestic futures contracts fell.

During the early Tokyo trading session, selling pressure developed on the EUR/GBP exchange rate towards the significant resistance level (R) of 0.8440. Prior to then, the cross had reversed after a sudden decline to about 0.8420. The German Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which measures consumer price changes, held stable at 8.5%, while the asset declined on Wednesday after breaching a crucial support level of 0.8440. Furthermore, Germany's inflation rate matched expectations.

 

It is interesting that decreased oil prices have led to a dramatic decline in inflation in the US economy. The decline in oil prices should also contain inflation in Germany. This suggests that the ongoing energy crisis in Germany brought on by Russia shutting down a crucial gas pipeline to Europe has been unaffected by the reduction in oil prices.

 

Investors sold off the common currency's bulls. The multiplying effects of the inflation issue provide the European Central Bank (ECB) with an ever-more challenging situation.

 

The market was expecting the UK's GDP to grow by 0.3% in the second quarter, but analysts estimate a 0.2% decline. The 1.3% decrease in the UK GDP is anticipated to more than outweigh the 0.5% monthly expansion. Additionally, annual GDP predictions were reduced from 8.7% to 2.8%.

 

It is also anticipated that manufacturing output will fall short of expectations. An annual decline of 1.3% from the previous 2.3% is projected. However, the rate of industrial production increase each year might be between 1.4% and 1.6%.
