A Reuters poll of 13 economists showed that the Hungarian central bank expects to cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 5.5% on August 25. The median analyst forecast suggests that the Hungarian benchmark rate will fall to 5.0% by the end of 2026 (the same as the July forecast).According to data from the National Development and Reform Commissions Price Monitoring Center and Zhuochuang Information, as of the week ending August 12, the national egg-to-feed price ratio was 3.46, a 2.67% increase week-on-week. Based on current prices and costs, the profit per laying hen is projected to be 42.50 yuan. Egg prices continued to rise this week due to increased culling of older hens, tightening supply of large-sized eggs, and downstream food companies gradually starting their Mid-Autumn Festival stockpiling. Increased purchasing activity from traders also contributed to the strong market performance and steady price increases. Currently, it is the traditional peak season for demand. With the weather turning cooler after the start of autumn, traders purchasing intentions are increasing, and with schools reopening next week and canteens gradually starting their stockpiling, egg demand is trending positively. Egg prices are expected to maintain an upward trend next week.According to data from the National Development and Reform Commissions Price Monitoring Center and Zhuochuang Information, as of the week ending August 12, the national chicken feed price ratio was 2.19, a 4.29% increase week-on-week. Based on current prices and costs, the expected profit for broiler farming is 0.44 yuan per bird. Product demand remained stable this week, with slaughterhouses purchasing only as needed. However, limited chicken supplies increased the difficulty for slaughterhouses to procure chickens, leading to higher purchase prices and faster sales of live chickens, resulting in higher chicken prices. Next week, product sales may slow down, slaughterhouses purchasing enthusiasm will decline, and the slowdown in live chicken sales is expected to put downward pressure on chicken prices, potentially causing a slight decline.Naghdi, advisor to the commander-in-chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard: The Strait of Hormuz will never lose its importance.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD bears at $1,650 on Fed hawkishness and China news

During early Monday morning in Europe, the gold price (XAU/USD) maintains a position close to the intraday low at $1,670. In doing so, metal prices endure the weight of a stronger U.S. dollar amidst a sluggish session caused by Japanese and British vacations. The cause may be related to the Fed's hawkish bets and China-related news stories.

 

US Dollar Index (DXY) reverses a two-day slump while posting intraday gains of 0.18 percent at 109.85 as of press time. Indicators of the U.S. dollar's value versus the six major currencies have recently been buoyed by the University of Michigan's September consumer sentiment report and the market's positive expectations on the Fed's next move. Consequently, the probability of a 75-basis-point (bps) rate hike by the Federal Reserve increased to 80%, while the market's estimates of a one-percentage-point increase in the Fed rate rose to 20% at the latest.

 

US President Biden stated elsewhere, "I'm more positive than I've been in a long time." The national leader also claimed that inflation will be brought under control. On the same line are the covid updates from China, which have unlocked Dalian and Chengdu while observing zero coronavirus cases in Beijing and one, as opposed to zero the day before, outside of Shanghai's quarantine zone. However, US President Biden's willingness to support Taiwan in the event that China assaults Taiwan and hawkish expectations for the Federal Reserve appear to weigh on the steel price ahead of the major monetary policy pronouncements.

 

In addition, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) reduces the 14-day reverse repo rate by 10 basis points to 2.15 percent. "With no maturing reverse repos on Monday, the Chinese central bank injects 12 billion yuan," reports Reuters. The same might have indicated that the dragon nation is not in recovery mode and requires more rate cuts than rate raises, which could have caused the gold price to plummet. The cause is China's position as one of the world's largest gold consumers.

 

In light of this, the S&P 500 Futures post modest losses while mirroring Wall Street's Friday close. Notably, the selling in Japan curbs bond movements in Asia, but yields are robust near the multi-day high due to fears of a recession and hawkish Fed views.

 

Moving forward, a light economic calendar and important market holidays may limit intraday XAU/USD price fluctuations. However, bears are expected to maintain control because to aggressive Fed expectations, which, if dashed, might defy the bearish chart pattern and spark the long-awaited rally.
