Considering the recent liquidity operations of the PBOC, market interest rate trends, and the PBOCs regulatory approach, this author believes that the consecutive zero injections of 7-day reverse repos do not equate to tightening liquidity, but rather reflect the PBOCs refined liquidity management in response to changes in market supply and demand. From an operational perspective, the PBOC has explicitly stated in its recent open market operations announcements that the 7-day reverse repo operation volume was zero "based on the demand from primary dealers in open market operations." Therefore, the direct reason for the zero injection of 7-day reverse repos is the weakening demand from primary dealers.US President Trump: Announced the toughest economic sanctions in history against Iran, which will be an unprecedented economic war and isolation.Artificial Intelligence: 1.

Forecast for Gold: XAUUSD retreats from $1800 on rising US yields

While it had been trending upwards, gold's daily performance took a sour turn and it is now trading below $1800. During the American session, the XAUUSD reached a high of $1799 before turning down and heading below $1785.

 

Despite predictions of a 0.2% monthly increase, data released on Thursday indicated that the US Producer Price Index decreased by 0.5% in July, bringing the annual rate down to 9.8%. The Consumer Price Index did not move in July, contrary to predictions of a 0.2% increase, according to data released on Wednesday. The US currency fell because of the inflation rate going down.

 

Investors continue to count on a rate hike of 50 basis points or more from the Federal Reserve at their September meeting. U.S. rates have risen despite though a peak in US inflation is more likely, which is surprising. Both the US 10-year yield (now at 2.83%) and the 2-year yield (3.20%) are at their highest levels in nearly a week.

 

Increased US yields capped gold's gains. The inability of the XAU/USD pair to maintain a price over $1800 despite the recent US data has fueled skepticism that the rally will continue. Weekly support is found around $1774, and the immediate support is at $1785. Additional gains appear likely if the price of gold can consolidate over $1800.
