1. Forex Market Insight    

EUR/USD  

Currency markets have increased their bets on a more aggressive Fed rate hike in September, with the likelihood of a 75 basis point hike now expected to be around 70%. 

U.S. Treasury yields surged, with the two-year Treasury yield touching a 15-year high of about 3.49%. 

The market awaits the U.S. jobs report for August, due out on 2^nd September 2022, which will be the last major look at the health of the economy in the face of rising interest rates and stubbornly high inflation before the Federal Reserve’s next policy meeting. 

European Central Bank (ECB) Executive Committee member Schnabel pointed out that the ECB may raise interest rates by 75 basis points at its meeting on 8^th September 2022, pushing the euro to climb. 

Schnabel said Saturday, 27^th August 2022, that the ECB needs to take strong action to fight inflation and maintain public trust. 

That trust now seems to be waning.

2. Precious Metals Market Insight   

Gold   

Fundamental Analysis:   

Gold prices increased on Monday, 29^th Monday 2022, as the dollar rally lost momentum, and earlier in the session, gold prices touched a one-month low, weighed down by the Federal Reserve’s hint on Friday, 26^th August 2022, that it would continue to raise interest rates sharply. 

Powell said that could mean slower growth, but did not hint at what measures the Fed might take at its September policy meeting. 

Currently, market participants generally expect the Fed to raise rates by 75 basis points at its September meeting.

3. Commodities Market Insight   

WTI Crude Oil   

Fundamental Analysis:

Oil prices settled up more than 4% on Monday, 29^th August 2022, extending last week’s rally as possible OPEC+ production cuts and the conflict in Libya helped offset the impact of a strong dollar and a gloomy outlook for U.S. economic growth. 

Saudi Arabia, the largest producer in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), last week raised the possibility of cutting production. 

Sources said the production cuts could coincide with an increase in supply from Iran if it reaches a nuclear deal with the West. 

OPEC+, made up of OPEC and oil-producing allies such as Russia, will meet on 5^th September 2022, to set policy.
