On November 8, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson addressed the UN Human Rights Council on November 7. Johnson stated that the US federal governments refusal to accept review by the Human Rights Council was an attempt to evade scrutiny. He argued that the Human Rights Council should apply the same accountability standards to the US federal government as it does elsewhere in the world, and that no country is above international law. Johnson called on the Human Rights Council to send independent experts to Chicago to investigate the challenges facing the city; he also urged the Council to take further accountability measures, including convening a special session to investigate the worsening human rights crisis in the United States. The UN Human Rights Council was scheduled to hold its fourth round of Universal Periodic Review (UPR) on November 7, but the US representative refused to attend, preventing the review from proceeding normally. The Human Rights Council adopted a decision that day urging the United States to resume cooperation with the UPR mechanism.Russian Ministry of Defense: Russian troops have occupied the village of Vovche in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine.Ukrainian Prime Minister: Russia’s attack on Ukrainian dams damaged several large energy facilities in the Kyiv, Kharkiv and Poltava regions.November 8th - Pfizer has finalized its $10 billion acquisition offer for Metsera, a startup focused on weight-loss drugs, after a bidding war with Novo Nordisk.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD will ascend past $1,950 as the US Dollar and yields retreat

Gold price (XAU/USD) consolidates intraday loss, the second in a run, around $1,965 on Thursday's European session as the US Dollar and Treasury bond yields struggle to defend yesterday's gains amid conflicting sentiment. With this, the precious metal recovers from its second consecutive weekly loss amid a cautious tone ahead of the most important inflation data from Europe and the United States.

 

US Dollar Index (DXY) falls from its intraday high to near 102.60, reflecting sentiment, while S&P 500 Futures struggle near a one-week high from the previous trading day. In addition, the US 10-year and 2-year Treasury bond yields lose upward momentum near 3.57 and 4.04 percent, respectively.

 

China's Premier Li Qiang's expectation that the economic situation in March will be even better than in January and February, along with Fed Chair Jerome Powell's signals of a policy reversal after one more rate hike, appear to have contributed to the recent Gold price increase.

 

However, it should be noted that the majority of central bankers defend their previous inflation bias and thus challenge Gold Buyers. In addition, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva, stated on Thursday, "Urgently need faster, more efficient mechanisms for providing debt support to vulnerable countries." Her remarks revive previously alleviated banking concerns.

 

Moreover, market preparations for top-tier inflation data from Europe and the United States appear to permit the Gold price to minimize weekly losses. Nevertheless, the US fourth quarter (Q4) Core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) and final prints of the fourth quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) can provide XAU/USD intraday traders with opportunities.
