On July 18, Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that its forces attacked US facilities in Bahrain, destroying a US unmanned surface vessel storage facility and striking an artificial intelligence center used to assist US forces in target acquisition. Iran stated that this action was a response to previous US attacks on Iranian infrastructure, including bridges, and warned that if the US continues to attack Iranian targets, Iran will expand its strikes to target US industrial, technological, and artificial intelligence-related assets in the Middle East.July 18th - According to US media reports on the 17th, the US government has notified Israel that it will send dozens more refueling aircraft to Israel, potentially escalating military operations against Iran. Axios, citing Israeli officials, reported that the US hopes to send dozens more refueling aircraft to Israel in the coming days, restoring the number to the level at the beginning of the US-Israel conflict with Iran in late February. The report stated that the US government has requested Israel to accept the additional refueling aircraft, and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will make the final decision. The US currently has approximately 30 refueling aircraft parked at Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv, Israel, and a similar number at Ramon Airport in southern Israel. The report suggests that US President Trump appears intent on escalating the conflict to create sufficient disruption to force Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz and accept US demands on the nuclear issue. According to US and Israeli officials, Trump may order an escalation of the situation in the coming days.Lucid Group (LCID.O) rose 32%, marking its biggest single-day gain in nearly a year.This week, the S&P 500 fell 1.55%, the Nasdaq fell 2.9%, and the Dow Jones fell 0.93%.The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 406.55 points, or 0.77%, at 52,146.42 on Friday, July 17; the S&P 500 closed down 76.11 points, or 1.01%, at 7,457.66; and the Nasdaq Composite closed down 361.70 points, or 1.40%, at 25,520.24.

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.
