2. Precious Metals Market Insight   

Gold   

Fundamental Analysis:   

Gold prices rallied more than 1% on Friday, 2nd September 2022, as the dollar retreated following the release of U.S. jobs data that was largely in line with expectations. 

However, gold prices are still poised to fall for a third consecutive week on a weekly basis under pressure from the high interest rate environment.

3. Commodities Market Insight   

WTI Crude Oil   

Fundamental Analysis:

Oil prices rose on Friday, 2nd September 2022, on expectations that the OPEC+ alliance will discuss production cuts at its Sept. 5 meeting, though concerns about a weakening global economy still gripped the market. 

This comes a day after both major indicators of crude oil fell 3% to touch two-week lows. 

Last week, Brent crude fell 7.9% and U.S. crude fell 6.7%. 

OPEC+ will likely keep its production quotas unchanged for October at the meeting on next Monday, 12th September 2022, three OPEC+ sources said. 

But some sources have also not ruled out cutting production to support oil prices, which have slumped from sky-high levels set earlier this year. 

Iran said it has responded “constructively” to the U.S. proposal aimed at reviving the 2015 nuclear deal. The U.S. gave a less positive assessment. 

Finance ministers of the Group of Seven (G7) countries agreed on Friday to set a price ceiling on Russian oil. 

The move is aimed at cutting Russian revenues while avoiding a sharp rise in oil prices as the war between Russia and Ukraine continues. 

Technical Analysis:   

(Crude oil 1-hour chart)

Trading Strategies:   

Oil prices focus on the 88.02-line today. If the oil price runs above the 88.02-line, then focus on the suppression strength of the two positions of 90.44 and 91.54. If the oil price runs below the 88.02-line, then pay attention to the support strength of the two positions of 85.72 and 83.74.
