Fundamental Analysis
The dollar index held steady at 97.8 on Monday, near a one-month low, as investors await a series of US labor market data due this week that could determine the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision. Key reports include the August nonfarm payrolls data on Friday, along with unemployment figures, job openings, and the ADP private payrolls report.
Markets are currently pricing in an 88% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut in September, supported by recent inflation data (PCE) showing continued rising prices, increasing uncertainty about monetary policy.
On the trade front, a federal appeals court ruled that most of the tariffs Trump imposed under emergency powers were unlawful, but allowed them to remain in place until October 14, giving the administration time to appeal to the Supreme Court. These developments heightened political tensions and weighed on market confidence.
Gold climbed to $3,480 an ounce, approaching a new record high, as liquidity flowed into safe havens amid ongoing political and trade uncertainty and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut.
Meanwhile, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures fell to $63.8 per barrel, extending the previous session’s losses. This was affected by oversupply concerns as the OPEC+ meeting, expected to raise production, approaches, and the end of the summer driving season in the United States, which reduces fuel consumption.
Investors are also keeping an eye on the upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, which will feature the leaders of China, Russia, and India, and which could impact global trade and energy relations.
