Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Yoji Muto: We will strongly request the United States to exempt Japan from tariff measures and set up a special working group to provide information and grasp the impact.Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Yoji Muto: The content of (US tariffs) needs to be analyzed and the impact on the Japanese economy examined.Japanese Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Yoji Muto: We have told the United States that the new tariff announcement is "extremely regrettable."On April 3, Kimberly Clausing, a former Biden administration official and nonresident senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, called Trumps tariff announcement on Wednesday "very stubborn and much worse than I expected." "I expected things to be bad, but I didnt expect this level of self-harm. Its shocking that anyone thought this was a good idea. Id be shocked if we can get through this without a recession and Trump doesnt have to reverse his policies."On April 3, some economists worry that if Trump does not quickly cancel the latest round of tariffs, it may push the US economy into a recession. "If the US government implements these higher tariffs without major exemptions, it will be difficult for the economy to digest this. A recession seems more likely." said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moodys Analytics. Zandi said, "In many ways, the tariffs announced by Trump are even worse than the worst case scenario he envisioned. If they stick to it, I will buckle up and prepare for the impact." Zandi added that on a static basis, tariffs account for nearly 2% of GDP (not considering the impact of tariffs on the economy and taxes), which makes this round of tariffs the largest tax increase since the tax increase used to finance the war during World War II.

A short time before the release of the U.S. consumer price inflation report at 13:30 GMT, gold futures are inching lower. The market movement shows that the main players are sitting on the sidelines in anticipation of data that may reveal whether the Federal Reserve would scale down its aggressive rate hikes or continue along the same path for a longer duration.

 

At 13:00 GMT, the Comex gold price for December is $1712.60, down $1.10, or -0.06%. The SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) closed Wednesday at $158.68, down $0.77 or -0.48%.

Because of the contradictory signals from the Treasury market and the U.S. Dollar, gold dealers are likely avoiding the market before to the CPI announcement.

 

Treasury yields are declining, which is normally a bullish indicator for gold prices. However, the U.S. Dollar is rising, which often limits the price of gold.

 

It is anticipated that headline inflation will come in at 0.6% for the month, resulting in an annual rate of 7.9%. Estimates indicate that core inflation increased by 0.5% in October, resulting in an annualized rate of 6.5%.

 

Given the massive surge, gold traders appeared to have been betting on lower-than-anticipated inflation for at least a week. This was supported by the CME's FedWatch tool, which indicated that traders were approximately 56% certain that the Fed would not raise rates by more than 50 basis points at its December meeting.

 

However, the lack of continuation to the upside and the recovery of the U.S. dollar indicate that the tone may be shifting. Given that five of the last six reports have provided positive surprises, it is difficult to buck the trend.

 

Traders will bet that the Federal Reserve will have to raise interest rates either more quickly or for a longer period of time if inflation data exceeds expectations. This will likely cause gold prices to fall sharply.

 

A Fed member supported this notion on Wednesday. President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Neel Kashkari stated that it is "entirely premature" to discuss any pivot away from the Fed's current policy tightening, although he appeared to support the possibility of adjusting the magnitude of future rate hikes.
