On the Iran deal: The US does not want to extend the ceasefire agreement with Iran. It holds a favorable position in the negotiations and a "major agreement" will eventually be reached. A good agreement with Iran is desired, but there should be no rush; ample time is needed to reach an agreement. 2. On bombing Iran: Attacking infrastructure could militarily damage Iran. If no agreement is reached, I expect Iran to be bombed, and we are prepared. 3. On the blockade measures: The blockade has been a great success; the US has complete control of the Strait of Hormuz.

In the early European session, the Gold price (XAU / USD) is exhibiting erratic movements near $1,994.00. The precious metal is in a state of indecision as investors await the release of preliminary S&P PMI data for the United States on Friday.

 

After violent swings influenced by the Federal Reserve's (Fed) Beige Book, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is showing signs of volatility contraction below 102.00. The declining trend of advances to consumer and business loans by U.S. commercial banks has intensified concerns of a recession in the U.S. economy, despite the fact that economic activity in 12 Fed districts remained virtually unchanged. To prevent a decline in asset quality, banks have tightened credit disbursement requirements.

 

In the meantime, S&P futures have recorded sizeable losses during the Asian session, as investors are wary of firms' comments regarding revenue guidance. The market anticipates that constrained credit conditions will impact the working capital management of cash-reliant companies, thereby affecting their output.

 

The market expects preliminary US S&P PMI data to reveal a Manufacturing PMI reading of 49.0, a decrease from the previous reading of 49.9. The Services PMI is anticipated to decrease to 51.5 from 52.6 previously reported.
