Premiums for Middle Eastern oil benchmarks Oman and Dubai crude have reached their highest levels since November 2022.Bank of England survey: British lenders expect mortgage demand to fall in the next three months.Bank of England survey: UK lenders expect the availability of mortgages to rise in the next three months.On January 16, Sandra Horsfield, an economist at Investec, wrote in a report to clients that the faltering British economy may lead the Bank of England to cut interest rates further. Data released on Thursday showed that the British economy resumed growth in November, but the growth rate was lower than expected. Horsfield said this means that policymakers at the Bank of England need to take the prospect of disappointing economic activity this year more seriously. According to Investecs forecast, the Bank of England looks set to cut interest rates by 25 basis points at its meeting in early February, followed by three more cuts before the end of the year. Horsfield said: "Growth below potential has increased spare capacity and should put pressure on inflation in the medium term. The tightening of financial conditions caused by rising bond yields has also played a similar role."Venezuelan government: Sanctions are an "economic war" and the main cause of difficulties.

Gold Price Prediction: As the USD Index attempts to recover, XAU/USD is likely to encounter resistance near $1,830

Gold price (XAU / USD) has detected resistance while extending its recovery above $1,828.00 in the Asian session. As the US Dollar Index (DXY) has attempted a recovery following a correction to around 104.10, the precious metal's bearish pressure appears to be strong. It appears that the risk-taking impulse has subsided and investors are returning to the risk-aversion theme.

 

Following a favorable Thursday, S&P500 futures are showing moderate losses. Global equities are susceptible to extreme volatility as additional announcements of interest rates may be necessary to combat persistent inflation. A small majority of equity analysts surveyed by Reuters anticipated a correction within three months.

 

After a severe correction, yields on US government bonds are still struggling to recover. At the time of writing, 10-year US Treasury Yields were approximately 3.87 percent.

 

Investors will monitor the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index figures for additional guidance. Annually, the economic data is anticipated to be 4.3% higher than the previous release of 4.4%. The monthly data is anticipated to increase by 0.4%, compared to the 0.3% previously reported. Price pressures in the U.S. economy have shown resiliency following a downward trend, which was driven by a rebound in household expenditure and a positive labor market.

 

The US Department of Labor reported a decline in Initial Jobless Claims (IJC) to 193K on Thursday, below Bloomberg's estimates of 200K. Continuing claims, which include individuals who have received unemployment benefits for a week or more, decreased by 37,000 to 1.65 million in the week ending February 11, according to Bloomberg. This was the largest decrease since December.

 

Undoubtedly, the labor market is exceptionally robust, as evidenced by the declining number of jobless claims, the lowest unemployment rate in decades, and robust job creation. This strengthens the notion that the Federal Reserve (Fed) cannot halt further rate hikes.
