Key Takeaways:
*US Dollar Index extends losses after weaker-than-expected ADP and ISM data
*Softer labor indicators raise caution ahead of the upcoming Nonfarm Payrolls report
*Falling oil prices ease inflation concerns and push Treasury yields lower
*Gold rebounds sharply as lower rate-hike expectations support non-yielding assets
The Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, continued to extend losses as market participants reacted to another round of downbeat U.S. economic data. The softer readings reinforced concerns that economic momentum may be cooling, particularly in the labor market.
According to Automatic Data Processing, U.S. ADP Nonfarm Employment Change rose by only 44,000, missing market expectations of 68,000. The ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI also came in below expectations at 54.1, compared with forecasts of 54.5. Together, the weaker data raised caution ahead of the upcoming Nonfarm Payrolls report, as traders reassessed the strength of the U.S. labor market.
At the same time, falling oil prices have helped ease inflation concerns. Signs of progress toward reopening the Strait of Hormuz reduced fears of prolonged energy supply disruptions, lowering expectations that energy-driven inflation would force the Federal Reserve to tighten policy more aggressively.
As a result, U.S. Treasury yields continued to decline, placing further pressure on the dollar. With softer jobs data and lower oil prices both reducing the case for additional rate hikes, markets have scaled back expectations for a more aggressive Fed policy path.
Gold prices rebounded sharply as the weaker dollar and lower yields improved demand for the precious metal. Since gold does not generate yield, it tends to benefit when rate expectations fall and Treasury yields move lower.
The rebound was also supported by improving hopes for a diplomatic solution between the United States and Iran. President Donald Trump said negotiations with Iran were ongoing and added that he would prefer to reach a deal rather than end the war through military action. Earlier, he also suggested that a deal could be possible as early as Wednesday, U.S. time.
Signs of progress in ending the more than five-month conflict have encouraged markets to price in a less aggressive Fed outlook. Investors are now fully pricing in only one U.S. rate increase by year-end, compared with expectations for two hikes as recently as last week.
Overall, gold remains supported by a softer dollar, falling Treasury yields, and reduced Fed tightening expectations. If U.S. data continues to weaken and oil prices remain under pressure, the precious metal may continue to attract demand in the near term.
Technical Analysis
GOLD, H4:
Gold prices are trading higher, currently testing the 4,295.00 resistance level, which acts as a key near-term breakout zone.
A confirmed breakout above 4,295.00 could extend gains toward the next resistance level at 4,375.00, reinforcing the bullish structure.
However, momentum indicators are showing signs of exhaustion. The MACD is displaying diminishing bullish momentum, while the RSI at 81 has entered overbought territory, suggesting an increased risk of a short-term technical correction.
If bullish momentum fails to sustain, gold may retrace and retest the 4,135.00 support level, followed by 4,015.00 if selling pressure intensifies.
Resistance Levels: 4295.00, 4375.00
Support Levels: 4135.00, 4015.00
