1. Forex Market Insight    

EUR/USD  

Many European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council members have recently hinted that they would accept a recession in order to bring inflation back to target levels. 

Yet, it remains a big question whether ECB members will really stick to their stance in the face of a shrinking economy. 

European Commission President von der Leyen could announce details of the initial plan to control energy costs as early as today.

The euro could benefit if they can come up with convincing measures to ease the burden on the economy. 

After all, this would increase the likelihood that the ECB would really devote all its efforts to fighting inflation.

Gold   

Fundamental Analysis:   

Gold prices fell through the key $1,700 per ounce level on Wednesday, 14^th September 2022, with expectations of a sharp interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve making non-yielding gold somewhat less attractive. 

The market now expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by at least 75 basis points at its September 20-21 policy meeting after data showed that the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) unexpectedly rose 0.1% in August.

3. Commodities Market Insight   

WTI Crude Oil   

Fundamental Analysis:

Oil prices rose more than 1.5% on Wednesday, 14^th September 2022, as the international energy watchdog predicted an increase in switching from natural gas to oil for heating due to high prices this winter, although the demand outlook remains gloomy.  

Data released by the U.S. Department of Energy on Monday, 12^th September 2022, showed that the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve stocks fell by 8.4 million in the week ended 9^th September 2022. The International Energy Agency (IEA) expects a further economic slowdown to cause global oil demand growth to stall in the fourth quarter of this year. 

This has kept oil prices under pressure in the near term and could dampen future gains.
