On September 3, it was reported that on September 2, local time, Judge Deborah Bodman of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland issued a preliminary injunction to block the Trump administration from enforcing a new executive order. This executive order aimed to limit the number of people eligible for birthright citizenship. After returning to the White House in January 2025, Trump signed an executive order stipulating that newborns whose parents are neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents would not automatically acquire U.S. citizenship. On June 30 of this year, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned this executive order.September 3 – According to US financial media Semafor, Sean Parnell, the chief spokesman for the US Department of Defense, is emerging as a leading candidate to succeed Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, who resigned this week. Multiple Trump administration officials and sources familiar with the matter revealed that Parnell has not yet received a final appointment, but there is considerable support within the government for his succession. Parnell has close ties to Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth and has served as the chief spokesman for the Department of Defense since Trumps second term. Florida Republican Congressman Brian Mast is also on the shortlist; he recently met with Hegseth. Mast has the support of House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, but his public support for the Israeli government could provoke discontent among some of Trumps political base. Meanwhile, if Parnell is nominated, he may face confirmation challenges due to the support of Republican hawks for Driscoll and past allegations of domestic violence against him.According to US financial media Semafor, Florida Republican Congressman Brian Master is also one of the candidates to succeed Driscoll as Secretary of the Army.According to US financial media Semafor, Sean Parnell has emerged as the leading contender for the position of Secretary of the Army.September 3 – Japanese companies are considering selling strategic holdings and other assets to offset the impact of the highest financing costs in a generation.

US inflation-driven gains in the price of gold (XAU/USD) are fading as the metal declines to $1,790 on Thursday during the opening Tokyo session.

On Wednesday, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell to 8.5% YoY in July, below the 8.7% consensus and the 9.1% reading from June. According to Reuters, US President Joe Biden stated on Wednesday that there are some indications that inflation may be decreasing after the US released its inflation data. In the coming months, there may be more challenges for us to overcome, Biden continued. US President Biden continues, "We still have work to do, but we're on track."

S&P 500 Futures print modest gains near 4,220 by press time against this backdrop after Wall Street rose and US Treasury yields were largely unchanged the day prior.

 

Moving on, the monthly Producer Price Index (PPI) for July and the weekly US Jobless Claims numbers may amuse gold traders. However, in light of recent risk-negative headlines, special focus should be placed on the qualitative variables.
