GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - WEEK 25 - 2024
125
At the beginning of this week, international gold prices increased sharply from 2,314 USD/oz to 2,387 USD/oz because investors expected the FED to cut interest rates next September after the European Central Bank and the Bank of Canada. interest rate cuts. However, gold price then dropped sharply to 2,286 USD/oz and closed the week at 2,293 USD/oz.
The reason why international gold prices dropped sharply this weekend was due to two negative impacts: First, the PBoC (People's Bank of China) announced that it had temporarily stopped buying gold from May, ending a streak of 18 consecutive months of gold buying. Second, the US economy created 272,000 jobs in May, far exceeding expectations. At the same time, wages increased by 0.4%, also exceeding expectations. This causes the market to predict that the FED will continue to postpone interest rate cuts.
