2. Precious Metals Market Insight

 

Gold 

Fundamental Analysis: 

Gold prices fell sharply yesterday, closing at a two-week low, weighed down by rising U.S. bond yields, after the Fed minutes hinted at faster rate hikes and hawkish speeches from Fed officials bolstered expectations.

Still, a new wave of epidemics has hit the service sector, an important pillar of the U.S. economy, and U.S. healthcare resources will be tested this winter, providing partial support for gold prices. The focus during the day will be on the December non-farm payrolls report, in addition to the speeches of Fed officials to focus on.

WTI Crude Oil 

Fundamental Analysis: 

Oil prices rose by more than 3% yesterday, with U.S. oil once breaking above the 80 mark during the day, peaking at $80.24/barrel, the highest since 8^th November 2021. 

Fueled by escalating tensions in Kazakhstan and cold weather in the U.S. disrupting crude deliveries, coupled with increased OPEC production or not enough to meet demand, it disappointed the market and helped oil price bulls.
