Gold   

Fundamental Analysis:   

Gold prices fell below the key $1,700 level on Thursday, 1^st September 2022, for the first time since July as a rising dollar and expectations of aggressive interest rate hikes weakened gold’s appeal.  

The dollar index rose to a 20-year high after data showed U.S. manufacturing grew in August. 

And initial jobless claims fell last week, which gives the Fed more room for aggressive rate hikes.
