However, this is not a typical recession signal, but rather a sign that the economy is stalling under the impact of tariffs, awaiting the dissipation of policy uncertainty. The datas biggest impact is rekindling expectations of a Fed rate cut, with September and October meetings once again becoming a possibility: the market is currently pricing in an 80% probability of a September cut and over 75% for an October one. Having already factored in the December FOMC meeting, the probability of a rate cut has now risen to 80%. While August was typically a month of low volatility, it now appears to be teeming with major event risks, with the next inflation report being particularly crucial, and even more crucially, the Jackson Hole meeting.Market news: Lyft (LYFT.O) partners with Baidu to deploy self-driving cars in Europe.

Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD views $1,800 as upbeat US labor market fuels hawkish Fed wagers

Gold price (XAU / USD) appears vulnerable above $1,810.00 as the upside appears constrained by rising Federal Reserve rate expectations (Fed). The precious metal is anticipated to resume its decline as strong United States Employment data reported by Automatic Data Processing (ADP) has confirmed that January's strong consumer spending and higher payrolls were not a one-time blow to the Consumer Price Index's decline (CPI).

 

S&P500 futures have given up the slight gains they made on Wednesday during the Asian session. As China's CPI and Producer Price Index (PPI) figures indicate deflation, the risk-aversion theme has intensified. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has maintained a sideways trend above 105.20 as investors await the publication of US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data for fresh direction signals. The alpha provided by 10-year US Treasury bonds has risen above 3.98 percent.

 

The official US Employment data is expected to indicate a decline in the payrolls to 203K from the former release of 514k. A figure of 203K is not as terrible as January's 514K figure, but it appears insignificant in comparison. Investors should be aware that a figure of 514K in the last seven months was exceptional.

 

Aside from that, it is anticipated that the unemployment rate will remain at a multi-decade low of 3.4%. The Average Hourly Earnings are expected to ascend to 4.8% on an annual basis. Household income may increase consumer expenditure. Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, has already confirmed that the Fed will increase interest rates in order to reduce inflation.
