Polish central bank monetary policy committee member Dabrowski: The possibility of a rate cut in Poland is slightly higher than a rate hike. Interest rates are expected to remain unchanged in the second quarter of 2027.Sources say the U.S. House of Representatives plans to vote on a sanctions bill against Russia next week.Market news: A US court blocked Trumps executive order to keep a coal-fired power plant in Michigan running.September 11th - SpaceX has grand plans for Starship. If all goes according to plan, this 407-foot-tall rocket will one day be used to build an orbital network of artificial intelligence data centers and send humans to the Moon and Mars. But first, the company plans to use Starship to launch a new and improved batch of Starlink satellites—its cash cow. SpaceX plans to launch its first V3 satellites into orbit in a key Starship test flight as early as next week. Getting Starship operational as envisioned is crucial for SpaceX and its shareholders. The company needs Starship not only to revitalize its own Starlink communications network—which contributed nearly 55% of the companys revenue in the second quarter—but also to launch satellites for a range of commercial purposes. Then, perhaps its most lucrative mission: launching a futuristic orbital data center into space, which SpaceX says could help tap into the $26.5 trillion artificial intelligence market.On September 11, White House National Economic Council Director Hassett downplayed concerns that President Trumps proposal to send $5,000 checks to every American adult would exacerbate concerns about the governments historically high borrowing levels. "We can do this in a fiscally responsible way. Its a serious proposal," Hassett said. He argued, "Because of all the growth and wealth created in America, the president believes we need to return more wealth to the American people. One way is through a reconciliation bill—a legislative mechanism that the House and Senate majority can use for fiscal packages, bypassing the need for an opposition vote." When pressed on what offsetting measures might be paired with these checks—which would add more than $1 trillion to the federal debt burden at a record high—Hassett said it would have to be "negotiated with Congress." Analysts are skeptical about the feasibility of the $5,000 payment, following a lukewarm response from top Republican members of the House and Senate to the idea.

Forecast for Gold Price: XAU/USD fluctuates above $1,950 as risk-on sentiment loses steam ahead of US NFP

Gold price (XAU/USD) is exhibiting back-and-forth movement in the early London session following a stunning rally above the important resistance of $1,950.00. As the US Dollar Index (DXY) builds a buffer around 100.50, the precious metal has shifted to the sidelines. A lesser interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve (Fed) has driven the USD Index onto a downward trend, maintaining the bullish bias.

 

National Bank of Canada economists opine, "It would be a mistake for the Fed to continue hiking its key rate substantially above the current level and holding it there for an extended length of time if inflation continues to disappoint." Therefore, a FOMC policy shift is anticipated in the first quarter of 2023, which would pave the way for a more protracted drop.

 

Meanwhile, S&P500 futures are confidently maintaining their morning gains, indicating that the risk appetite theme is highly robust. However, 10-year US Treasury yields have risen beyond 3.42 percent.

 

After the Fed's policy-induced volatility, investors are moving their attention to Friday's release of United States Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) (January) data. According to the consensus, the US economy added 185K jobs in January, compared to 223K in December. The unemployment rate is anticipated to rise to 3.6%. Also, the Average Hourly Earnings are anticipated to increase to 4.9% from 4.6% in the previous report.
