As the United States Dollar (USD) surge slows down, the price of gold is seeing a dead cat bounce from three-week lows of $1,933 established on Wednesday. For new trading vigor, gold traders look forward to the Bank of England’s (BoE) policy announcements and the US ISM Services PMI data.
Will the US ISM Services PMI and the Bank of England save the gold price?
Following a two-day decline, the price of gold is licking its wounds as the US Dollar has halted its current upward momentum amid a cautious market tone. Investors grow cautious as they prepare for the BoE interest rate decision, important US ISM data, and the tech earnings report amid the resurgence of hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) forecasts and budgetary fears in the United States
China is the world’s largest purchaser of gold, thus an unexpected rise in the Caixin Services PMI benefits the price of gold as well. After expanding by 53.9 points in June, China’s services purchasing managers’ index (PMI) increased to 54.1 points in July. In the reporting month, a decline to 52.5 was anticipated for the indicator.
The non-interest-bearing Gold price is anticipated to come under increased selling pressure later in the day if the Bank of England (BoE) announces a 25 basis points (bps) rate hike with a hawkish message, updating recurring lows. Additionally, the positive US ISM Services PMI might add to previous indications of economic resiliency, giving the US Dollar a new lift at the expense of the price of gold.
On Wednesday, the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond rates hit a nine-month high following another surprise US ADP employment data, driving the US Dollar to new monthly highs versus its six main rival currencies. Compared to the prior month’s predicted 189,000 job creation, the US private sector added 324,000 new jobs in July.
Strong US JOTLS job openings and ADP Employment Change statistics show that the labor market is still tight in the nation, supporting the case for additional Federal Reserve rate increases. Concerns about the US economy’s durability won out over Fitch downgrades the nation’s debt rating.
