On September 20, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghae stated that Irans participation in the UN General Assembly is its "legitimate right," not a "favor" bestowed by other countries, and that Iran will not abandon New York as a diplomatic platform. Baghae stated that Iran will not send the wrong signals of détente, and any diplomatic action should reflect Irans strength and stance. He said that although going to New York is "not attractive" to the Iranian delegation, the UN General Assembly is an important platform that cannot be abandoned. He pointed out that Iran is one of the founding members of the UN and has the right to participate in international conferences such as the UN General Assembly. Faced with recent conflicts and external pressure, Iran has a responsibility to express its position on this international platform. Baghae also accused the United States of influencing the Iranian delegations participation through media pressure and visa delays, stating that these actions will not prevent Iran from attending the meeting and articulating its position.September 20th - According to the latest data from the Ministry of Health of the Democratic Republic of Congo, as of September 19th local time, the country has a total of 7,541 confirmed cases of Ebola in this outbreak, with 3,639 deaths and 1,823 recoveries, resulting in a case fatality rate of 48.3%.On September 20th, NATO announced that German General Carsten Breuer will assume the chairmanship of the NATO Military Committee, expected to officially take office in mid-2027, succeeding Italian Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone. The chairman of the Military Committee is one of NATOs key military advisors, responsible for providing military advice to NATOs political leadership. This appointment is seen as reflecting Germanys increased influence within NATO following its significant increases in military spending and military buildup in recent years. Following the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Germany shifted from its long-standing policy of low-investment defense, accelerating the expansion of its military and defense spending, becoming one of Europes major military spenders. German Defense Minister Pistorius stated that Breuers selection reflects the allies recognition of Germanys contributions to strengthening NATOs defense.The Houthi rebels in Yemen: We will continue to strike Saudi military targets until the blockade ends.Houthi rebels in Yemen attacked Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu.

June Gold Buyers May Face Difficulties at $1987.60

The market's strength is being fueled by demand for a hedge against rising inflation during the Russia-Ukraine conflict, lessening pressure from expectations of an aggressive US interest rate hike, and the US Dollar's intraday reversal top.

 

June Comex gold futures are currently trading at $1982.70, up $6.60 or 0.33 percent from their previous close. The SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) is currently trading at $184.66, up $0.89 or 0.48 percent from its previous close.

 

Gold is regarded as an inflation hedge and a hedge against geopolitical concerns. However, higher interest rates in the United States would increase the opportunity cost of storing non-yielding bullion and strengthen the dollar against which it is valued.

 

However, the price action shows that gold buyers are seeking insurance against inflation and are not very concerned about opportunity costs at the moment. Despite all of the Fed's hawkish rhetoric and anticipation for aggressive rate hikes, we have yet to witness a shift in the direction of inflation.

 

Gold is likely to remain underpinned for the foreseeable future as long as the inflation arrow continues to point upward and the Ukraine war continues.

Technical Analysis of the Daily Swing Chart

According to the daily swing chart, the primary trend is upward. A move over the intraday high of $1985.50 reaffirms the uptrend. A break of $1916.20 will revert the major trend to the downside.

 

On the upside, the retracement zone between $1987.60 and $2009.90 is the nearest objective.

 

On the downside, the long-term Fibonacci level at $1958.70 serves as the initial support, followed by the short-term 50% level at $1932.90.

Technical Forecast for the Daily Swing Chart

The June Comex gold futures market's path through Wednesday's close is likely to be dictated by trader reaction to the 50% level at $1987.60.

Scenario of Bullishness

A sustained move above $1987.60 will signal that buyers are present. This could provide the necessary momentum for a test of the Fibonacci level at $2009.90. This is a trigger point for an upside acceleration.

Scenario of the Bear

A persistent decline below $1987.60 indicates the existence of sellers. They intend to attempt the formation of a secondary lower top. This, if successful, might result in a break into $1958.70.
