Note to readers in the publication issue Before gold fake correction,. Gold prices are still hovering below recent record highs after the Fed Chairman hinted at smaller interest rate cuts in the future. As fears of an all-out war in the Middle East increased after Iran launched ballistic missiles at Israel, gold prices rose due to safe-haven demand. Iran fired multiple ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday in retaliation for Israel's actions against its Lebanese ally Hezbollah. Salami, commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said Iran fired 200 missiles at Israel in an operation Tuesday night local time. • White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan called Iran's missile attacks a “significant escalation,” but said they were ultimately “defeated and ineffective,” in part because the US military helped shoot down several incoming missiles. • Sullivan emphasized that the attack will have consequences and that the United States is consulting with Israel on next steps or possible responses. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Iran made a big mistake and will pay the price. This series of launches was the largest missile attack on Israel in Iran's history. Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed that 90% of their missiles successfully hit targets in Israel. As of now, no casualties have been officially reported. Israel's emergency services have lifted all restrictions and people in Tel Aviv have emerged from bomb shelters and returned to the streets. Iran's president says he does not want war but will resolutely fight any threat from Israel.

Pay attention to Powell's statement, GOLD corrects and recoversOANDA:XAUUSD There were 2 consecutive sessions of price decline at the end of last month, mainly due to profit-taking activities without affecting the uptrend both fundamentally and technically. From a monthly perspective, gold prices rose more than 6% in September, reaching a peak of $2,685.42 last Thursday, mainly due to the Federal Reserve's 50 basis point cut, stimulus measures China's preferences and escalating tensions in the Middle East. Today (Tuesday), Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will give a speech at the National Association of Business Economics, which is expected to cause violent fluctuations in gold prices. Gold traders will pay close attention to Powell's comments for further information on the future direction of the Fed's monetary policy. • If Powell signals a stronger interest rate cut, gold prices will certainly have to be pushed higher, because lower interest rates often reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing assets like gold, making them more attractive to investors. • However, if Powell is cautious and signals a slower pace of interest rate cuts, gold may face downward pressure. According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, the market is currently pricing in a 36.7% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates by 50 basis points in November. In addition, the geopolitical situation in the Middle East has escalated, which has supported gold prices. Over the weekend, Israel continued to attack Lebanon and claimed to have killed a senior figure of Hezbollah following the murder of the organization's leader Hassan Nasrallah. Iran, which backs the powerful rebel group, vowed to fight back and noted that Nasrallah's killing "will not go unanswered". Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD On the daily chart, after gold's downside correction, it recovered from the 0.618% Fibonacci extension and the current corrections still do not affect the main technical trend. The short-term uptrend is noticeable because the price channel remains stable, and as long as gold remains in the price channel, its short-term trend and outlook are still bullish. In addition, if gold breaks above the 2,645 USD price point of the 0.786% Fibonacci extension, it will have room to increase further with the goal of returning to the 2,672 USD area. This means that $2,645 is the closest resistance currently. During the day, the technical bullish outlook remains unchanged and notable levels are listed again as follows.

Jobs data week, GOLD corrects with steady trendOANDA:XAUUSD rebounded slightly this past weekend on Friday (September 27) as traders received the latest US data, but gold also hit a new all-time record this past week due to Expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates further. Although the latest US consumer spending and inflation data reinforced expectations that the US central bank will cut interest rates further in the coming months, it also failed to provide clarity on the question. How deep will the Fed cut? The US core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index showed inflation rose just 0.1% in August, below market expectations. This data increases market confidence that the Federal Reserve will continue to implement easy monetary policy. However, the data gap compared to the same period is not really large, this makes the market begin to divide into two directions; How much will the Fed cut interest rates in the upcoming FOMC period, 50bps or 25bps. As a non-interest-bearing asset, gold becomes more attractive in an interest rate cutting or low interest rate environment, which has pushed gold prices up about 14% this quarter, the best quarter since 2016. The latest consumer spending and inflation data from the US were the main economic indicators influencing the gold market last week. Inflationary pressures have eased, signs of growth in consumer spending suggest the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates further for the rest of the year. Currently, the market is expecting the Fed to cut another 75 basis points over the remainder of the year. This expectation has become the main driving force to help gold prices continue to increase this week, and looking into the future, this is still important support for gold's fundamental uptrend in the near future. At the same time, global geopolitical tensions have added to market uncertainty. Uncertainties about the Middle East situation and the US presidential election have increased market demand for safe havens, further supporting gold prices. This week will be a trading week with a lot of important macro data from the United States, the focus will be on non-farm employment data (NFP). It is expected that gold will have another turbulent trading week. market government. Economic data to watch out for this week Monday: Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell speaks at the NABE meeting Tuesday: European CPI, ISM Manufacturing PMI, JOLTS Employment Wednesday: ADP jobs report Thursday: Weekly unemployment claims, ISM services PMI Friday: Nonfarm payroll report Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD On the daily chart, after gold corrected from $2,672 as target resistance, it recovered from the 0.786% Fibonacci extension support point noted by readers in the previous issue. Although gold has corrected, structure and bullish conditions are still dominating the daily technical chart, with a short-term trend from the price channel and key support from the EMA21 and trend from the price channel. However, the Relative Strength Index is falling from the top of the overbought zone, if it falls below the 80 level this could be seen as a signal for bearish space ahead. With gold having increased for many days, it is very normal for a technical correction to occur. As long as gold remains in the price channel and above the EMA21, the trend and outlook are still bullish. In case gold is sold below 2,645 USD it will tend to decrease further to retest the 0.618% Fibonacci level without affecting the main uptrend. Looking ahead, the trend and prospect of gold is technically bullish and the notable points will be listed as follows.

USD & Gold Market Review September 30, 2024Analyze Macroeconomic News with USD Chart The situation is that the Market is quite uncomfortable because it has been 2 weeks, but the USD still has no clear direction for itself. Looking at the event chart above, you can see that the negative psychological price mark is 101.5 - FOMC – interest rate cut by 50 points. - Manufacturing PMI conflicts, but can still be assessed as bad. - Shigeru Ishiba puts pressure on the USD, as JPY may get stronger. - PCE is a bad personal inflation index. ==> A lot of big bad news below the 101.5 mark but the USD still moves sideways up and down, not moving strongly to the number 9x.xxx ==> Although the USD has lowered its closing price WEEKLY, it still causes discomfort because of bad news, such a decrease is not right. Is there a time when USD will suddenly turn over??? What's on this week??? - In early October, at dawn on October 1, 24, Powell spoke - Friday has employment and NONFARM data SPDR Gold Trust Analysis Daily chart of Gold prices and Gold Reserves - SPDR reduced reserves by 5.18 tons last Friday. However, just a 1-day reduction doesn't give much information, so that's all we know for now. - The LONG SHORT index of retail traders shows that traders are afraid of SELLing and have the psychology of changing to BUY, so the Market's ability to Kill Sellers is reduced, meaning it is limited in pushing prices up further. GLD (SPDR Gold Trust) stock chart vs. Gold price The GLD chart is a stock active in the US session, it coincides with the gold price chart when the US stock session opens. Looking at price behavior with volume on the GLD chart, we see that most of it is bearish behavior, like profit taking at the peak. => So in my opinion, the 246 price mark of GLD corresponds to the 2660-65 price range of the gold price, which is a psychological pivot for GLD (SPDR Gold Trust stock). Analyze the Gold Future Market Volume chart Price areas with converging Volume on the H4 chart include: 2660, 2625, 2580. Prices are often easily attracted and rotate around these price axes. Currently on Chart H4 and H1, it can be seen that Gold has a bearish channel and is below the 2660 mark at the end of last week. Conclude Pay attention to the BULL BEAR 2660 position pivot price range BULL faction - The BULL side should only join the fight when the price has increased past 2660, and there is action to create price support above 2660. - Or the price drops completely to 2625 to consider further recovery behavior of BULL. BEAR faction - Because the trend is still up, Sellers also need to be careful because there is not much Bear support. - Currently, there is a downward price channel below the 2660 mark, so Sellers should embrace this current price channel to enter orders and minimize risks.

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [Sep 30 - Oct 04]Last week, OANDA:XAUUSD continued to rise to a new peak at 2,685 USD/oz. However, after that, profit-taking pressure caused the international gold price to drop to 2,643 USD/oz and close the week at 2,658 USD/oz. Gold prices continued to increase strongly this week mainly due to the FED cutting interest rates by 50 percentage points in last week's meeting. Notably, the US Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Index for August announced this week only increased by 2.2% over the same period last year, down from 2.5% in July. and is the lowest level since February 2021. PCE in August was close to the FED's target of 2%. This further strengthens expectations that the FED will continue to sharply cut interest rates in the near future. In the current context, the FED's biggest concern is to revive the labor market, which has been stagnant in recent times. Next week, the US will announce non-agricultural employment (NFP) data and the unemployment rate for August. According to forecasts, NFP in August will only reach about 144,000 jobs and the unemployment rate may remain at low levels. 4.2%. If these data are as predicted, it will also increase expectations that the FED will continue to cut interest rates in the coming period, thereby positively affecting gold prices next week. 📌However, the problem that many investors and experts are concerned about right now is that the gold price is deep in the overbought zone, clearly shown through the MACD, RSI... Therefore, the possibility of pressure cannot be ruled out. Profit taking will increase again, causing gold prices to suffer another correction next week at the current high price range.

As fighting between the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and the Israeli military escalated sharply, Hezbollah has urged Iran to launch attacks on Israel in recent days.

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [Sep 23 - Sep 27]This week, after opening at 2,579 USD/oz, the international gold price dropped to 2,546 USD/oz, but then continuously increased sharply beyond the threshold of 2,600 USD/oz to 2,625 USD/oz and closed the week. at 2,622 USD/oz. International gold prices increased sharply because the FED cut interest rates by up to 50 basis points and signaled that it would further cut interest rates by about 200 basis points in the next 2 years. FED Chairman Powell said the FED will not rush to sharply loosen monetary policy and noted that the FED is currently in the process of readjusting its monetary policy. Mr. Powell's comments show that the FED will not be too hasty in cutting interest rates, but will adjust monetary policy according to a specific roadmap. This may somewhat cause confusion among investors, causing them to take profits from gold investments that have yielded large profits, causing gold prices to adjust and accumulate in the short term.

GOLD surpassed the 2,600 USD/oz markOANDA:XAUUSD increased sharply in the trading session on Friday (September 20), with spot gold prices officially surpassing the important barrier of 2,600 USD/oz for the first time in history. The possibility of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) continuing to cut interest rates and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East act as direct catalysts for this breakthrough in gold. At closing, the spot price of gold in the New York market increased by 36.3 USD/oz, equivalent to an increase of 1.4%, closing at 2,622.4 USD/oz. The Fed's move to lower interest rates by half a percentage point on Wednesday is "fueling" gold prices. This precious metal is a non-interest bearing asset, so it benefits in a falling interest rate environment. According to data from CME's FedWatch Tool, interest rate futures traders are betting on a 100% chance the Fed will cut interest rates in both its November and December meetings. In addition, this year, global investors are also actively buying gold to hedge against lingering geopolitical risks in the Middle East and some other places. The trend of net buying gold by central banks to diversify foreign exchange reserves away from the USD also contributed greatly to the increase in gold prices. Israel announced that it had killed a senior commander and important figures of Hezbollah in an airstrike in Beirut, Lebanon, raising concerns about the risk of widespread war in the Middle East. However, US President Joe Biden still believes that the possibility of reaching a ceasefire agreement for the Gaza Strip is realistic. Since the beginning of the year, gold prices have increased 26%, the largest increase in a year since 2010. Some analysts believe that this record increase in gold prices may soon turn into a correction state. The Dollar Index, which measures the greenback's strength against a basket of six other major currencies, increased 0.12% on Friday, closing at 100.74 points. However, the index has decreased 0.37% this week and decreased nearly 4.8% in the past 3 months - according to data from MarketWatch.

GOLD continues to be strong, geopolitical tensionsOn Thursday, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 50 basis points, starting an easing cycle and gold prices rose accordingly. Traders are ignoring the rise in US Treasury yields, which are inversely correlated with gold, and gold is still aiming for $2,600 raw price or perhaps a new all-time high. grand. Readers can review the Federal Reserve's policy analysis in yesterday's publication linked below. Tensions in the Middle East and ceasefire negotiations are positive for gold “Gold is considered a safe haven in times of political and economic uncertainty, and because gold is not subject to interest, it often thrives in low interest rate environments.” The Wall Street published an exclusive report on Thursday, local time, The Wall Street said senior US officials had said a ceasefire and hostage release was within reach, but now here they admitted that they did not expect Israel and Hamas to attend. "There is no chance of achieving this now," the Saudi official said shortly after the pager attack on Hezbollah. "Everyone is waiting and watching to see what happens after the election. Conclusion The results will determine what the next government can do." Failure to reach an agreement will harm the "job" of current President Biden. According to Gaza's Health Ministry, the war has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, mostly women and minors. According to the latest report by Agence France-Presse, Lebanese Minister of Public Health Firas Abyad said that communication equipment explosions occurred in many places in Lebanon on September 17 and 18 local time. , leaving 37 people dead and nearly 3,000 injured. On September 19, Hamas issued a statement thanking Hezbollah for its support in Lebanon. Hamas said that Hezbollah's resolute stance in Lebanon "has undermined Israel's efforts to sabotage the resistance movement in the Gaza Strip." Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD After adjusting and recovering, gold currently has all the conditions to aim for the target increase at the original price point of 2,600 USD that was previously achieved. In the short term, $2,600 will remain the target resistance, however once gold breaks above the $2,600 base price it could continue to rise another $12 to test the 0.786% Fibonacci extension. The uptrend will still be the main trend with the price channel and support from EMA21. As long as gold remains in the price channel, price drops should only be considered short-term corrections without damaging the main trend. . Maintaining above the 0.618% Fibonacci extension is also a positive signal for gold prices in the short term technically. During the day, the bullish outlook will be noticed by the following levels. Support: 2,582 – 2,575 – 2,561USD Resistance: 2,600 – 2,612USD In the current trading environment, large fluctuations often occur. It can be said that these fluctuations are so large that looking for so-called optimal entry positions too close will bring the risk of being "swept out". " Therefore, along with finding reasonable entry locations, optimization also needs to be emphasized in the process of controlling volume and transaction density.

After Powell's speech, GOLD prices plummetedAfter the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 50 basis points, OANDA:XAUUSD Spot delivery soared to 2,600.15 USD/ounce, reaching a new era record high. But after Powell's speech, gold prices plummeted, currently trading around 2,563 USD/ounce. Powell said at the press conference that the 50 basis point rate cut “is not a fixed pace of new rate cuts.” On Wednesday local time, the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced a 50 basis point interest rate cut at the end of its two-day policy meeting in Washington, lowering its target range. target the federal funds rate down to 4.75%-5%. This is the first time the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates since March 2020. Fed officials expect interest rates to fall to 4.4% by the end of 2024 and to 3.4% in 2025. This decision to cut interest rates was not supported by all FOMC members. The statement shows that one person voted against the 50 basis point rate cut and Fed Governor Bowman, who voted against it, supported the 25 basis point rate cut. Thus, Bowman became the first Fed governor since 2005 to vote against the decision of a majority of FOMC members at the FOMC interest rate meeting. Summary of Jerome Powell's speech Powell said: "We are recalibrating our policy stance; nothing in our (economic) forecasts suggests that we are rushing to act; Fed economic forecasts are basic forecasts; the actual actions we take will depend on how the economy develops. If appropriate, we can speed up or slow down the pace of interest rate cuts , or even choose to pause; this 50 basis point cut does not mean we are rushing to act.” “I don't see any signs right now that the likelihood of a recession has increased,” Powell said. I don't see that. You will see the economy growing at a steady pace, see inflation decreasing. You'll see the workforce, the market remain at a very stable level, so I don't see that right now." Powell's indication that if appropriate, the Fed could speed up or slow down the pace of rate cuts, or even choose to pause this 50 basis point rate cut, does not indicate the Fed is ready to act. This has damaged market sentiment that the Fed will cut interest rates more aggressively in the future, which has weakened gold prices. But it does not mean a basic trend because the basic trend will still be bullish, because the path to cutting interest rates by the Fed is still very long and data will continue to be the next catalyst. The reason to say that the path to cutting interest rates is still very long is that readers can pay attention to the details that "in the shortest term", Fed officials expect interest rates to drop to 4.4% by the end of 2024. and down to 3.4% by 2025. Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD Although gold corrected significantly on yesterday's trading day after renewing its all-time high in the $2,600 area, this was also the target increase that readers noticed in the weekly publication. Technically, the adjustment from the original price level is not an unusual sign of the trend. The current trend of gold price is still bullish with the price channel as the main trend and the EMA21 as the main support. As long as gold remains within the price channel, the technical outlook remains bullish. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index is pointing up, showing that momentum and room for price growth are still ahead. Once gold breaks above the 0.618% Fibonacci extension it will be in position to retest the all-time high once again and gold sustaining price activity above the 0.50% Fibonacci extension is a positive signal for the trend. short-term upward trend.

GOLD recovers from support at $2,561, Fed decisionOANDA:XAUUSD decreased and recovered after the US announced retail sales figures for August. This is the last important US macroeconomic data released before the Fed's decision today (Wednesday). Gold price touched 2,560 USD in yesterday's trading session.

Data from the US Census Bureau showed US retail sales increased 0.1% month-on-month in August, compared with a revised 1.1% increase in July. higher than expectations of a 0.2% decline. Meanwhile, US retail sales (excluding autos) increased 0.1% after increasing 0.4% in July. This figure was lower than expectations for 0.2% growth. The data slightly reduces the likelihood of a 50 basis point Federal Reserve cut at its September meeting, which would have an impact on gold's near-term gains. Fed decision upcoming Today (Wednesday), the market will focus on the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision and Fed Chairman Powell's press conference, which is expected to create a major volatility in the gold market.

This would be the Fed's first rate cut since 2020, and financial markets have priced in the possibility of the Fed acting aggressively, as indicated by rates on CME's FedWatch tool. Since gold does not yield interest, a low interest rate environment can reduce the opportunity cost of investing in gold, which is more beneficial for gold.

Today (Tuesday), the US Census Bureau will release retail sales data for August. Economists expect US retail sales to fall 0.2% monthly in August, after rising 1% in July. US retail sales data typically has a greater impact on financial markets, potentially influencing the trend of assets such as the US dollar and gold. August data is expected to be lower than July's positive data and is expected to guide the extent of the Fed's interest rate cuts, favoring a 50 basis point cut instead of a 25 basis point cut. copy. Of course, this is negative for the US Dollar and positive for gold. While retail sales data will be the primary focus today, the focus this week is on the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision due to be announced on Wednesday. According to CME's "Fed Watch" tool, the probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by 50 basis points in September has jumped to 67.0%. Less than a week ago, the market believed the Fed would cut interest rates by 25 basis points, while only 25% believed the Fed would cut interest rates by 50 basis points. This is a signal that the possibility of a 50bps cut on Wednesday is becoming more solid. Since gold does not yield interest, a low interest rate environment can reduce the opportunity cost of investing in gold, which is more beneficial for gold. Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD Temporarily, gold is still trading in a fairly narrow range but the main uptrend has not changed technically with the price channel as the main trend and the EMA21 moving average as the main support. Gold's short-term uptrend is limited by the 0.618% Fibonacci extension, which readers noticed in the weekly publication on Sunday. For gold to have enough conditions to increase in price further, it needs to bring price activity above 2,582 USD, and this is also the current closest resistance level. Even if gold has not been able to break the $2,582 level to reach the next short-term target level at the original price point of $2,600 and beyond the 0.786% Fibonacci level, it still has a bullish bias. However, corrections can still occur because the technical principle is that the market will not be able to move in a straight line, and the immediate correction in the short term will be limited by the Fibonacci 0.50% price point of 2,561. USD, this is considered the closest support level currently. During the day, gold's uptrend may encounter short-term corrections with notable price levels listed below.

WTI recovered insignificantly, bearish factors prevailedWest Texas Intermediate TVC:USOIL opened down to 68.94 USD/barrel as of the time this article was completed. The Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA) warned last Thursday that global crude oil demand is cooling while output outside the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies ( OPEC+) continues to increase. According to IEA data, the organization predicts non-OPEC+ crude oil production will increase by 1.5 million barrels per day from 2024 to 2025. The fact that supply is continuously expanding while market demand is not enough to compensate is the most noticeable pressure on the oil market at the present time. West Texas Intermediate crude fell about 15% this quarter on concerns about falling demand. The International Energy Agency said that global consumption growth in the first half of the year reached its lowest level since the epidemic. In that context, OPEC+, an organization of oil producing countries, postponed plans to relax supply restrictions, and Libya's oil output continued to decline. About supporting factors With the recent conflict in Libya and a series of geopolitical crises in recent years, the market is not without upside potential, although these factors have not yet had a profound enough impact on the market. common school. Combined with the fact that the Federal Reserve is expected to start cutting interest rates at its meeting next week after the labor market showed signs of slowing and traders are more optimistic that policymakers policy will cut interest rates by 50 basis points. Lower borrowing costs could support economic growth and increased energy demand. These may provide negligible fundamental support in the near term. However, the oil market needs to pay more attention to Supply - Demand and OPEC+ factors. Technical outlook analysis of TVC:USOIL On the daily chart, WTI crude oil recovered but remained in a long-term downtrend noted by the price channel and pressure from EMA21. Crude oil's fall below the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level on the daily chart would open the door for a new bearish cycle with the target then at $67.25 in the short term, more so than $65.2. On the other hand, as long as WTI crude oil remains within the price channel, the downtrend remains dominant, but maintaining price activity above the 0.236% Fibonacci level will be the factor that pushes it to recover a little further with resistance near highest at 70.9USD. Looking at the overall picture, the trend of WTI crude oil is to decrease in price with technical levels that will be noticed again as follows. Support: 68.74 – 67.25USD Resistance: 70.28 – 70.90USD
