On November 10th, Federal Reserve Bank of New Yorks Mary Daly stated that the U.S. economy may be suffering from weak demand, while tariff-related inflation currently appears to be under control. Daly, who is not currently a voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and did not specify what action would be taken at the upcoming December meeting, said, "To formulate the right policy, its necessary to maintain an open mind and dig deep into the evidence on both sides of the debate." Daly added, "So far, the impact of tariffs has been largely confined to goods and services, with little spillover to services inflation or inflation expectations, which remain relatively firmly anchored near our target."A poll by NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) shows that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichis cabinet has an approval rating of 66%.PayPal (PYPL.O) has introduced its fee-free "buy now, pay later" service to Canada.Barrick Mining Corp. raised its quarterly dividend and expanded its share buyback program following a record surge in gold prices.

Gold price (XAU/USD) approaches $1,700 in Friday's Asian session, indicating a corrective pullback from the yearly low. Traders anticipate August's US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) and Unemployment Rate to determine gold's recovery.

 

XAU/USD pares recent losses at $1,698 and bounces off the lowest levels since July 21. Recent gains look to be pre-NFP market consolidation.

 

Hawkish Fedspeak and higher US data have weighed on XAU/USD values recently.

 

US ISM Manufacturing PMI for August was 52.8, compared to 52.0 expected. S&P Manufacturing PMI for August rose from 51.3 to 51.5, compared to 52.2 in July. US Initial Jobless Claims decreased to 232K from 248K and 237K. Unit Labor Cost grew 10.2% QoQ in Q2 versus 10.7% expected, while Labor Productivity fell 4.1% versus 4.5% expected and -4.6% before.

 

A covid-led lockdown in Chengdu, China, and a dismal Caixin Manufacturing PMI provide a bleak picture for the world's second-largest economy. Escalating geopolitical tension between Beijing and Washington via Taiwan might be similar.

 

Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said inflation is 'far' from 2%. New Dallas Fed President Lory Logan said, "Restoring price stability is No. 1"

 

Wall Street closed neutral, but 10-year Treasury rates hit a high since late June. The 02-year rose to the 15-year top. CME's FedWatch Tool indicates 72% possibility of a rate hike in September, up from 69% earlier.

 

US Treasury rates and the US Dollar Index (DXY) fell from multi-year highs by press time.

 

US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) and Unemployment Rate for August are significant for gold dealers.
