⚡️Market news
The US Dollar is undergoing a correction from its six-month high against major currencies, as the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) stable policy brings a sense of calm and improves overall market sentiment. Investor psychology has been influenced by the hawkish stance of the Federal Reserve, indicating a 'higher for longer' interest rate outlook. The BoJ maintains its extremely accommodative monetary policy, signaling that they are not in a rush to implement their massive stimulus package.
Gold prices are taking advantage of the broad-based weakness in the US Dollar, recovering to an important resistance level. However, further recovery seems elusive amid rising yields on US Treasury bonds. The benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield is at a new 16-year high of 4.511%.
At the end of the day, Gold traders will be awaiting business PMI data from the United States, United Kingdom and Eurozone for fresh insights into global economic conditions as major economies remain on edge with recessionary concerns looming. If risk aversion sentiment arises due to discouraging PMI reports, there may be renewed demand for safe-haven assets such as the US Dollar.
⚡️Optimus's point of view
Gold consolidates above $1,920, US bond yields lower
The price of gold holds onto a slight recovery above $1,920 after a sharp decline on Thursday. Following the mixed September PMI data from the US, the benchmark 10-year US Treasury yield dropped nearly 1% during the day to around 4.45%, allowing XAU/USD to remain in positive territory.
Next week it is possible that gold will continue its downward trend as it continues to be unable to close the weekly candle above 194x
