While overnight outside market action is not definitively bearish for gold and silver, the bear camp has help from a stronger dollar, an uptick in US interest rates, and signs of deflation in China with their CPI declining 0.2%.
 
Given the pulse-up in US interest rate expectations last week and the slide in gold and silver prices, the presence of positive US data and/or a return to risk-on in equities will likely pressure both markets back toward recent consolidation low support levels.
 
However, given the tighter relationship between the dollar and precious metal prices (relative to interest rate influences), the action in the dollar is likely to control over the interest rate influences...[MORE]

Gold awaits fresh cues as focus turns to US inflation print
Monday, July 10, 2023

July 10 (Reuters) - Gold prices were flat on Monday as investors traded cautiously ahead of U.S. inflation data expected later this week to gauge the impact of interest rate hikes and if more policy tightening was on the cards.

Spot gold was little changed at $1,923.69 per ounce by 1144 GMT. U.S. gold futures were down 0.2% to $1,929.10...[LINK]

The path of least resistance in gold and silver remains down with the fear of higher interest rates front and center and dominating over the influence of the dollar.
 
Fortunately for the bull camp, the dollar action has been nondescript if not somewhat weaker following yesterday's initial upside breakout, but with major monthly US jobs data directly ahead, the subject of higher US rates sits in the windshield.
 
However, the bull camp might have absorbed some of the increased rate hike prospects following the very strong ADP reading yesterday, and that in turn could set a somewhat higher bar for this morning's official nonfarm report gain...[MORE]

Gold on track for fourth weekly loss on bets for hawkish Fed
Friday, July 7, 2023

July 7 (Reuters) - Gold prices edged up on Friday but were on track for a fourth consecutive weekly loss as strong U.S. jobs data strengthened bets for higher-for-longer interest rates by the Federal Reserve.

Spot gold was up 0.3% to $1,915.79 per ounce by 0902 GMT, with analysts attributing the small uptick to bargain hunting. U.S. gold futures rose 0.3% to $1,921.80...[LINK]

The path of least resistance is pointing down in gold and silver to start today with the dollar overnight initially posting a 4-day high and potentially poised to receive further lift from today's active US scheduled report slate.

In retrospect, the release of the Fed meeting minutes yesterday afternoon revealed some Fed members were in favor of a 25-basis point rate hike last month despite the Fed's ultimate decision to leave rates unchanged.

Given numerous indications from the Fed, they are data dependent, US jobs-related data over the coming 2 sessions will be quite important and likely to set the trend in gold...[MORE]

A forecast from HSBC suggesting gold will trade in a range bound by $1850 and $1970 for the rest of this year highlights our view that the gold trade currently lacks a definitive trend because of static supply and demand conditions.
 
Therefore, it is not surprising that the action in the US dollar is likely to remain the most dominating influence on gold until there is a discernible shift in the market's landscape.
 
However, at present we think the bear camp has the edge with a pattern of outflows from gold ETF holdings extending to twelve straight days (down 1.4% year-to-date), fears of slowing in the largest gold-consuming nation (China), and the unending overhang of rate hike fears...[MORE]
