Fundamental Analysis：

Bank of England Governor Bailey said on Monday, 11^th July 2022, that he still thinks inflation could fall sharply next year, broadly in line with the central bank’s forecast published in early May. 

Bailey told a parliamentary committee that he did not think the new forecasts being prepared by Bank of England staff, to be released on 4^th Aug 2022, would show a fundamentally different picture. 

Markets now see a near 70% chance of a massive 50 basis point rate hike by the Bank of England on 4^th August 2022.

2. Precious Metals Market Insight   

Gold   

Fundamental Analysis:   

Gold hovered near a nine-month low on Monday, 11^th July 2022, as bets on aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve and a rising U.S. dollar dented its appeal. 

Despite the risk of recession, investors have recently chosen the dollar over gold, pushing it to a nearly 20-year peak and weakening the appeal of gold to overseas buyers. 

At the same time, since gold does not pay interest, the interest rate hike raises the opportunity cost of holding gold.
