February 8th - Despite the silver price plunge that has almost wiped out its astonishing gains at the beginning of the year, retail investors still poured nearly $500 million into the silver market over the past week. According to data analysis from Vanda Research, retail investors poured $430 million into the largest silver ETF, SLV, in the six trading days ending Thursday, including over $100 million on January 30th, when silver prices fell 27%, marking the largest single-day drop in history. StoneX analyst Ronna OConnell stated, "People are drawn to the allure of silver." She added that silvers appeal was further amplified by its "massive sell-off," with some investors seeing it as a buying opportunity at lower prices.The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre reports a 5.9-magnitude earthquake in the Cuba region.February 8th - It is understood that although US President Trump has repeatedly claimed that India has pledged to stop purchasing Russian oil, the joint statement between the US and India regarding the trade framework agreement did not mention this.

Gold Price Prediction: The XAU/USD pair will go below $1700 after a positive NFP report, followed by the CPI

The gold price declined after the U.S. Labor Department released employment data that exceeded expectations, thereby validating the Fed's need for additional tightening and supporting the dollar. Consequently, XAU/USD is currently trading at approximately $1690, below its initial price.

 

Prior to the announcement of the US Nonfarm Payrolls report, the price of gold hovered around $1710. Gold's initial reaction to the headline, however, was a decline into the $1700 region, but this initial movement quickly vanished. In a volatile reaction, it extended its losses below $1700 at the time of typing.

 

US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data revealed that the US economy added 263K new jobs, above predictions of 250K, while the unemployment rate decreased to 3.5% from 3.7%. Even while the reading is lower than August's, it was above expectations, which would strengthen the case for a Federal Reserve rate hike.

 

In the meanwhile, money market futures have put in a 92% likelihood of a Fed rate hike of 75 basis points, up from 85.5% prior to the US Nonfarm Payrolls report.

 

US Treasury bond yields rose, with the 10-year US Treasury bond yield increasing three basis points to 3.865%, while the US Dollar Index, a measure of the dollar's value vs six other currencies, rose 0.28% to 112.565.

 

Now that the US Nonfarm Payrolls report is in the rearview mirror, the next significant events on the US calendar are the September CPI statistics and the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment study, both of which will take place in the coming week.
