On September 18, Marex analyst Edward Meir said, "The Feds overall stance on interest rates is slightly hawkish, and they are not really keen on supporting rate cuts.

I think in the short term, gold prices may be a bit overbought and may retreat further to the $3,600 mark."The Central Bank of Moldova cut its key interest rate to 6%.The Eurozones seasonally adjusted current account data for July will be released in ten minutes.On September 18, Mitsubishi UFJ reported that the Bank of England will hold interest rates steady in September, following a narrow vote to cut rates in August. With little likelihood of a rate change now in sight, market attention will focus on the split in the vote, fine-tuning of policy guidance, and the annual decision on the pace of quantitative tightening. A 7-2 vote is expected to maintain interest rates, with Taylor and Dhingra voting for a rate cut. Guidance will continue to indicate a gradual decline in interest rates, but looking ahead, the Bank of England appears prepared to slow the pace of rate cuts to reflect the lack of consensus on easing. A December rate cut remains possible, but it is likely to be another close call. Regarding the balance sheet, the market generally expects the pace of quantitative tightening to slow from the current annual pace of £100 billion. This figure is expected to be revised to £60 billion, implying a slight reduction in active sales compared to the previous 12 months.Sources: Qatar raised the price of its October Al-Shaheen crude oil to a premium of $3.61 per barrel over the benchmark oil price.
