Lets act!" And they will indeed act, meaning they will raise interest rates on June 11th. Since the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war, several other central banks, such as the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Norwegian central bank, have tightened monetary policy. But the ECB will be the first G7 central bank to do so. The ECB previously stated that the Eurozones inflation rate and monetary policy were "in good shape," but now the situation is quite different. Concerns about the duration of the Iran-Iraq war and the sustainability of a potential peace agreement, and how these factors will affect inflation expectations and wage demand, are prompting the ECB to shift towards a tighter policy. Eurozone inflation has not eased since the last meeting. Adding to the woes, the risk of economic stagnation is increasing. The ECB must proceed cautiously, but the risk of further rate hikes remains, potentially as early as July.Local authorities said the fire at the Russian Afipsky oil refinery has been extinguished.

Forecast for the price of gold: XAU/USD bears looking for a crucial increase in US rates around CPI

As markets wait for the US inflation statistics for July, which will be released during the opening of New York, the price of gold is unchanged in Tokyo. Lower yields have helped to support the price, which helps because gold doesn't offer any interest. On Tuesday, the US 10-year note hit a new corrective low of 2.746%. Since then, they have recovered to a high of 2.816%, but this is still much below their 52-week range high of 3.497%, which was recorded in mid-June 2022.

 

The US inflation figures due out on Wednesday will likely show a level of price growth that will lead the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates further, and this is the main focus of the markets.

 

Although there will be another report before the following Federal Reserve meeting, the Fed is anticipated to increase interest rates by another 75 basis points when combined with last week's NFP report. However, officials should this time pay particular attention to core inflation. According to experts at ANZ Bank, "a continuation of recent trends would be undesirable and likely lean the Fed toward another significant rate increase at the 20–21 September FOMC meeting."

 

The market must determine whether the sticky and robust core is more significant than the slowing headline, according to TD Securities analysts. We will be short-term focused on whether this statistic disturbs resilient risk sentiment because that will also assist influence near-term USD price action. "The USD remains sensitive to US data surprises."

 

In terms of Fed forecasts, WIRP is now showing over 75% odds of a 75 bp raise at the FOMC meeting on September 20-21, which would be expected to keep the dollar in the hands of bulls. According to analysts at Brown Brothers Harriman, markets are still factoring in a swift Fed flip into an easing cycle in the first quarter of 2023. The numbers support the Fed's position that things are not as bad as they appear, at least for the time being.

 

In addition to the inflation figures, the August 25–27 Jackson Hole Economic Symposium will be closely watched before the FOMC meeting on September 20–21. The analysts at BBH explained that "by late August, we will have seen all the major July data and some of the early August surveys, such as the preliminary S&P Global PMI readings and regional Fed surveys." Fed Chairs frequently use this symposium in August to announce or hint at policy shifts ahead of the September FOMC meetings. In Q3, the Fed will also be well-aware of the state of the economy. Despite this, we do not believe the Fed will announce any significant policy changes or put itself in a precarious position before the FOMC meeting next month.

 

As a result, Jackson Hole and the CPI statistics will be crucial for gold. A higher-than-expected reading for today's inflation data could be the trigger for a final shake-out of obstinate and stale shorts inside the volatility before the next substantial move to the south. On the other side, a deeper positive correcting in gold prices would be anticipated if the US dollar were to decline on a lower reading.
