Futures News, May 5th - According to foreign media reports, Malaysian palm oil futures rose for the second consecutive trading day, supported by a weaker ringgit and market optimism regarding Malaysias biodiesel program. However, declines in crude oil and soybean oil prices limited further upside. On the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange (BMD), the benchmark palm oil contract for July delivery steadily rose in early trading. In the crude oil market, prices, which had previously surged sharply, retreated significantly due to signs of potential easing in the situation regarding the blockade of key Middle Eastern waterways. The weakening of crude oil futures prices directly reduced the attractiveness of palm oil as a substitute for biodiesel feedstock.On May 5th, it was reported that Apple (AAPL.O) has held exploratory discussions with Intel and Samsung Electronics regarding the production of main processors for its devices. According to sources familiar with the matter, Apple has held initial talks with Intel about using the companys chip manufacturing services. Meanwhile, Apple executives have also visited a Samsung advanced chip factory under construction in Texas. The sources indicated that neither effort has yet generated any orders, and the collaboration with these two suppliers remains in its very early stages. The sources added that Apple has concerns about using technology outside of TSMC and may ultimately not actually partner with other companies. Spokespeople for Apple, Intel, Samsung, and TSMC declined to comment.Israel Defense Forces: In two separate incidents over the past few hours, Hezbollah fired several mortar shells at areas where the IDF is operating in southern Lebanon.

Currency markets and forex traders may be awaiting a viable (US-Iran) peace agreement to re-pricing in Fed rate cuts. They believe that gold can perform well even if the Fed keeps rates unchanged, provided forward guidance indicates an imminent rate cut. However, a continued hawkish shift in the monetary policy outlook could create headwinds for gold, at least in the short term. Furthermore, if oil prices remain at $100 per barrel, becoming the new normal, it could limit golds upward momentum towards $5,000 per ounce.Fitch Ratings: Iranian conflict widens profit gap among Asia-Pacific chemical producers.

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.
