U.S. Agriculture Secretary Rawlings: More announcements related to increased fertilizer shipments will be released.March 22 – The Australian government stated on the 22nd that although fuel imports have been impacted by the conflict with Iran, supplies remain sufficient and there are no plans for rationing. Regarding the panic buying of gasoline in a few areas, the government urged the public to refuel rationally. Australian Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen said in a television interview that as of the 21st, the countrys reserves of petrol, diesel, and aviation fuel were sufficient for 38 days, 30 days, and 30 days respectively, and fuel supplies remained "strong."Market news: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have made large-scale purchases of mortgage-backed securities.March 22 - Iranian President Ayatollah Peschizian posted on social media this evening (March 22), stating that "attempts to wipe Iran off the map are a desperate trampling on the will of a nation that makes history. Threats and intimidation will only strengthen Irans unity. The Strait of Hormuz is open to everyone except those who violate Iranian territory. Iran will resolutely confront these insane threats on the battlefield."On March 22, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessenter defended the U.S. and Israels attacks on Iranian infrastructure, claiming that "sometimes you have to escalate to de-escalate." This came shortly after Trump gave Iran 48 hours to open the Strait of Hormuz and threatened to destroy its power plants. Bessenter defended Trumps remarks, saying it was "the only language the Iranians understand." Bessenter also addressed Kharg Island, a key hub for Iranian oil production, claiming that "all options are being considered," including sending U.S. troops to control the island. Bessenter further defended the decision to ease some sanctions on Iran, claiming it was a "soft approach" to the Iranians—using their own oil to retaliate against them.

Forecast for Gold Price: XAU/USD corrects from $1,780, although upward stays favored on lower DXY

Gold price (XAU/USD) has retraced to about $1,774.65 after reaching a high of $1,780.58 during the Tokyo morning session. As an upward break of consolidation is followed by a low-volume test of the breakout, there is a good chance that the precious metal will bounce once again. Earlier, the precious metal demonstrated a breakout to the upside from the consolidation created between $1,764.45 and $1,773.35.

 

In the meanwhile, the US dollar index (DXY) has experienced a minor bounce after opening at a three-week low of 105.05 points. The DXY has taken on a bearish trend as merchants and manufacturers have drastically reduced their forward demand. Monday saw the release of weak US Institute of Supply Management (ISM) Manufacturing New Orders Index data.

 

The economic data predicts merchants' and manufacturers' future demand. At 48, the numbers stayed below the forecasts of 52 and the previous reading of 49.2 A significant reduction in the demand prediction index precipitated a sharp decline in the DXY.

 

Friday's release of the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report will continue to dominate the attention of markets moving ahead. According to market consensus, the US economy created 250k jobs in July, a decrease from the 372k jobs created in June. This will increase the price of gold relative to the U.S. dollar.

 

The construction of a rising channel by gold prices on an hourly basis suggests the continuance of an upward trend. The top section of the previously described chart pattern is based on the high of July 22 at $1,739.37, while the bottom portion is based on the low of July 21 at $1,681.87.

 

The rising 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages (EMAs) at $1,765.40 and $1,742.85, respectively, add to the upward filters. In the meantime, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) is striving to recapture levels of 60.00. A similar event will necessitate a new bullish impulse wave.
