Copper fell 3.6% as traders cut bets on higher prices due to growing concerns that China, which is top consumer of copper, would soon move to curb further price rises.

GOLD overview 16.06.2021

Gold retains bearish bias ahead of Fed.

Gold under the mild bearish pressure today as investors are waiting for any signs of early tapering from the U.S. Federal Reserve meeting later today. In a new policy statement and economic projections due today, the Fed is expected to acknowledge the first conversations among its policymakers on when and how fast to pare back its massive bond-buying programme. The market is looking for any hawkish signals so they would be more likely to move gold prices. Data on Tuesday showed U.S. retail sales dropped more than expected in May. This comes on the back of recent data showing a spike in U.S. consumer prices, which have raised concerns over rising inflation. Market participants will be focused on any comments over inflation risks – inversely correlated to gold prices.

EURUSD 17.06.2021

EURUSD slammed by hawkish Fed.

EURUSD falling strongly today under the powerful bearish U.S. dollar sentiment as the markets are reacting to the latest comments from the Fed in which is projected faster timetable for interest rate rises – sending bond yields and the dollar sharply higher. Officials moved their first projected rate increases to 2023 from 2024. The Fed also signalled it would now be considering whether to taper its $120 billion-a-month asset purchase programme meeting by meeting, and downgraded the risk from the pandemic given progress with vaccinations. The more hawkish changes to FOMC participants rate path expectations came despite little change in the 2023 unemployment rate and inflation forecasts. This suggests less tolerance for an inflation overshoot than previously thought – signalling further dollar gains ahead and losses for EURUSD.

GBPUSD overview 21.06.2021

GBPUSD surges ahead of Bank of England meeting.

GBPUSD rising strongly today under the growing sterling bullishness as well as the significant USD outflows as the markets continue to make sense of the FED comments made last week – which led to massive losses for this currency pair. The scale of the USD gains has triggered the current correction in USD sentiment – leading to GBPUSD gains. The pair is also driven up by the expectation of the more optimistic economic assessment from the Bank of England, which next meets on Thursday, – could push sterling towards $1.40 fast. In the meantime, investors brought forward bets that the BoE would raise interest rates sooner than they thought previously, flattening the yield curve for British government bonds and mirroring a recent move in U.S. Treasuries – which adds to the bullish pressure on GBPUSD.

GOLD overview 22.06.2021

Gold falls ahead of Jerome Powell’s testimony.

Gold under bearish pressure on stronger dollar as the as investors turn their attention to U.S. Fed chief Jerome Powell’s testimony for cues on monetary policy. Today’s bearish tone continues the earlier sharp downward impulse in the wake of Fed’s surprise hawkish signal last Wednesday. Higher rates and bond yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding gold, a non-interest bearing asset. Powell, who will appear before Congress from 1800 GMT, in prepared remarks said inflation had “increased notably in recent months”. The boost in Fed growth and inflation forecasts, and improved labor market projections, could drive gold prices further down.

EURUSD rises on dovish Fed.

EURUSD under bullish pressure today on weaker dollar after U.S. Federal Reserve official Chair Jerome Powell reaffirmed tighter monetary policy was still soon to be implemented after a hawkish turn by the Fed last week caught Forex markets off guard.

GBPUSD overview 24.06.2021

Sterling falls as BoE keeps rates at all-time low.

GBPUSD falling today after the Bank of England kept the size of its stimulus programme unchanged and left its interest rate at an all-time low of 0.1%, as expected. Economists expected no policy changes by the Bank of England as it waits to see if a post-lockdown jump in inflation proves transitory. Sterling investors have been focused on signs of any concern from the Bank of England over about a recent increase in UK inflation, which broke above the central bank’s 2% target. There is currently no sign in the minutes or statement that the MPC is considering an early end to QE – leading to sterling losses across all sterling-linked currency pairs.

GOLD overview 25.06.2021

Gold rising on inflation concerns.

Gold rising Friday as a preliminary deal on U.S. infrastructure spending added to dollar bearishness, while investors awaited inflation data. The spending plan should be positive for gold, as it has to be financed to a large extent with higher debt. Progress on the plan weighed on the dollar, making gold cheaper for those holding other currencies, ahead of U.S. producer price data that could show a clearer picture on rising inflation. Fed warned on Thursday that inflation could rise more than policymakers’ expectation near term, after Fed chief Jerome Powell said it would not be the only determinant of interest rate decisions. The upcoming inflation data will directly affect gold prices.
Expect buyers on downward corrections.

GBPYSD overview 28.06.2021

Sterling rises on calls for lifting of COVID restrictions.

GBPUSD under the bullish pressure today after Britain’s new health minister, Sajid Javid, said he wants all COVID-19 restrictions lifted as soon as possible. As a former finance minister Javid will be more sensitive to the costs suffered by the economy of lockdowns and therefore more likely to insist on lifting the restrictions – which would be positive for the sterling. Investors this week will also be watching a dispute between Britain and the European Union over post-Brexit trade in Northern Ireland. Daily positive cases have been rising for a month in Britain but accelerated vaccination programme have weakened the link between infections and deaths, with daily fatalities remaining about 20 or lower – making the sterling the relative winner in the eyes of the markets.
Expect buyers on downward corrections.
