On June 13, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghae said that any potential understanding between Iran and the United States is merely to promote continued dialogue, not a final agreement; unfreezing Iranian assets will be an indispensable part of any Iran-US understanding. According to the Iranian Students News Agency, Baghae said during a meeting with media representatives that Irans current focus is on ending fighting on all fronts and regional tensions, and that it will not delve into the details of the nuclear issue at this stage. He said the only way to achieve regional security is to end the presence of foreign military forces in the region. Baghae emphasized that the unfreezing of Iranian assets is an important component of the understanding and will not be excluded. Current discussions also include addressing US hostile actions against Iranian vessels and issues related to the Strait of Hormuz. Baghae said that Iran will proceed with the utmost caution in advancing negotiations and the diplomatic process, while remaining vigilant based on past experience.

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.
