The reason is simple: their Patriot missile defense systems ran out of interceptor missiles. This severe shortage of the only weapon capable of intercepting Russian ballistic missiles launched at Ukraine is exposing a critical vulnerability in Ukraines air defense system. As Moscow intensifies its offensive ahead of winter, the pressure on Ukraines air defense is further escalating. Ukrainian officials stated that the limited number of interceptor missiles supplied by the United States has been exhausted in recent weeks. Russia launched a missile attack on Kyiv on August 5th, followed by a second attack three days later. In both attacks, Ukraine failed to intercept any incoming ballistic missiles. Ukrainian officials revealed that due to the increasingly serious shortage of interceptor missiles, the Ukrainian Air Force has stopped routinely publishing the number of missiles launched by Russia to avoid revealing the number of missiles it failed to intercept.August 15th - According to the website of the China Maritime Safety Administration, the Jiangmen Maritime Safety Administration issued a navigation warning stating that military training will be conducted in parts of the South China Sea from 00:00 to 12:00 daily from August 16th to 17th, and entry is prohibited.

As US NFP steals the spotlight, we expect the XAU/USD to drop to roughly $1,700 in the near future

After setting a new monthly low of $1,723.44 in the Tokyo session, the gold price (XAU/USD) is now indicating a less confident downward trend. The Federal Reserve (Fed) opted for price stability over growth on Friday at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, therefore the precious metal is projected to continue its downward trajectory for some time.

 

The Federal Reserve has little leeway to decrease the pace of its interest rate hikes in August due to signals of inflationary pressures. While economic activities in the United States showed significant slowing down because of decreasing liquidity in the economy. Market veterans anticipated that the Fed would slow the pace at which it was rising interest rates in light of the two factors. To counteract this, the Fed prioritized maintaining price stability.

 

The future of the United States hinges on the information provided by the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report. We anticipate the economic statistics to come in at 290k, which is a decrease from the 528k reported in the previous release. The slowdown in job growth should not be seen as a huge concern by investors. Since the US economy has been at full employment for the past six months, much of the room for new jobs has been eliminated.

 

Gold prices have fallen below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level (set at $1,729.35 from the low of $1,680.91 on July 21 to the high of $1,807.93 on August 10) on an hourly time frame. Both the 20-period and the 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are trending downward, adding further filters to the downside at $1,738.08 and $1,745.84, respectively. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) has moved into the negative zone of 20.00-40.00, indicating further declines ahead.
