WTI recovered insignificantly, bearish factors prevailedWest Texas Intermediate TVC:USOIL opened down to 68.94 USD/barrel as of the time this article was completed.
The Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA) warned last Thursday that global crude oil demand is cooling while output outside the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies ( OPEC+) continues to increase.
According to IEA data, the organization predicts non-OPEC+ crude oil production will increase by 1.5 million barrels per day from 2024 to 2025.
The fact that supply is continuously expanding while market demand is not enough to compensate is the most noticeable pressure on the oil market at the present time.
West Texas Intermediate crude fell about 15% this quarter on concerns about falling demand. The International Energy Agency said that global consumption growth in the first half of the year reached its lowest level since the epidemic. In that context, OPEC+, an organization of oil producing countries, postponed plans to relax supply restrictions, and Libya's oil output continued to decline.
About supporting factors
With the recent conflict in Libya and a series of geopolitical crises in recent years, the market is not without upside potential, although these factors have not yet had a profound enough impact on the market. common school.
Combined with the fact that the Federal Reserve is expected to start cutting interest rates at its meeting next week after the labor market showed signs of slowing and traders are more optimistic that policymakers policy will cut interest rates by 50 basis points. Lower borrowing costs could support economic growth and increased energy demand.
These may provide negligible fundamental support in the near term. However, the oil market needs to pay more attention to Supply - Demand and OPEC+ factors.
Technical outlook analysis of TVC:USOIL
On the daily chart, WTI crude oil recovered but remained in a long-term downtrend noted by the price channel and pressure from EMA21.
Crude oil's fall below the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level on the daily chart would open the door for a new bearish cycle with the target then at $67.25 in the short term, more so than $65.2.
On the other hand, as long as WTI crude oil remains within the price channel, the downtrend remains dominant, but maintaining price activity above the 0.236% Fibonacci level will be the factor that pushes it to recover a little further with resistance near highest at 70.9USD.
Looking at the overall picture, the trend of WTI crude oil is to decrease in price with technical levels that will be noticed again as follows.
Support: 68.74 – 67.25USD
Resistance: 70.28 – 70.90USD

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [Sep 16 - Sep 20]This week, OANDA:XAUUSD increased quite sharply, from 2,485 USD/oz to 2,585 USD/oz and closed at 2,579 USD/oz.
The reason international gold prices increased sharply this week is because the market expects the FED to strongly cut interest rates at its meeting next week, with a cut of up to 50 percentage points. However, considering economic data and the current US economic situation, the FED can only cut interest rates by 25 percentage points.
This week, we saw the US August Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase by 2.5% year-on-year, lower than the expected increase of 2.6% and down sharply from the increase of 2.5%. .9% in July. However, core CPI, excluding energy and food prices, increased by 3.2%, a slight increase compared to July's data.
Meanwhile, the US unemployment rate in August decreased slightly from 4.3% to 4.2%, although this figure is still high compared to the 3.8% rate recorded a year ago.
In particular, GDP in the second quarter in the most recent adjustment increased to 3% over the same period last year, much higher than the previously announced 2.8%...
All of the above data shows that although the US economy has slowed down, inflation is cooling down, and the labor market is still difficult, it cannot fall into a short-term recession. Therefore, the FED will likely only cut interest rates by 25 percentage points.
In principle, when the FED cuts interest rates, gold prices will increase. However, the increase in gold prices next week will depend on the level of interest rate cuts by the FED. Currently, there is only about a 43% chance that the FED will cut interest rates by 50 basis points next week. Therefore, if the FED only cuts interest rates by 25 percentage points, next week's gold price could still rise above the threshold of 2,600 USD/oz, but then will be under pressure from investors to sell and take profits. If the FED cuts interest rates by up to 50 percentage points, gold prices next week could increase far beyond the threshold of 2,600 USD/oz.
While the Fed's decision will be the focus of the gold market next week, other important economic data could also cause some volatility in gold prices next week, such as manufacturing figures. , housing market and retail sales data.
In addition, after the FED's monetary policy meeting, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan will also announce their monetary policy decisions.
📌Technically, in the short term for the H4 technical chart, after a period of cumulative sideways movement, this week the gold price has broken out of the old peak at 2530 and far exceeded this resistance level. In the immediate future, the gold price will correct. Recovering the round resistance level of 2600. However, divergence signals have appeared on almost all time frames from Weekly, Daily, H4... (Divergence does not mean the price will decrease. Divergence in the financial market In general, the forex market in particular reflects that buyers are no longer interested in high prices. However, there has been no profit-taking action, so the price divergence gives us a warning not to participate buy more, although the price may continue to break to new highs)
Notable technical levels are listed below.

Resistance: 2.613 – 2.582USD

The European Central Bank cut interest rates on Thursday, but President Christine Lagarde downgraded expectations for another rate cut next month, saying the central bank will decide on policy action Next is based on economic data. The Euro has risen stronger than the USD and this is also an unfavorable impact for the USD.
Data released by the U.S. Department of Labor on Thursday showed that initial jobless claims for the week ended September 7 were 230,000, up 2,000 from the previous reporting period and higher than last year. Market expectation is 225,000.

The lower-than-expected PPI inflation data boosted market sentiment with more confidence that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates significantly next week.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, after gold achieved all of the target increases sent to readers in the multi-week issue at 2,531 – 2,544 USD, it set a new era record and continues to price increase.
In the immediate future, using trend-following Fibonacci extensions shows that the closest target level that gold can aim for is 2,582 USD, the Fibonacci 0.618% price point.
On the other hand, even if gold corrects lower, the losses will be limited by the 0.382% Fibonacci price point of $2,540, or more than $2,531.

USD & GOLD Market Review September 12, 2024Real Volume Analysis of Gold in the Gold Future
=> Looking at the chart shows that the market is still very interested in the BULL position and especially the HIGH position at the peak.
Analyze Macroeconomic News with USD Chart
Yesterday we had CPI inflation data, important data to prepare for the September FOMC meeting next week.
What are the data announced yesterday?
- At a glance, we have good data for USD, when one index is higher than expected: 0.3 > 0.2
- But looking closely, we have conflicting data when a 3-star CPI index has lower actual data than before: 2.5 < 2.9
==> However, USD still increased and maintained a higher mark in the current week.
If combined with last week's NONFARM news, we have a rising price channel forming for the USD.
==> But because the CPI data is not standard, I predict that the USD cannot break to the top of 102. Instead, it only sideways around 101.5 and 101.9
SPDR Gold Trust Analysis
2 consecutive days this week, also the first transaction in September. SPDR Gold Trust continues to increase its gold reserves as GOLD continues to increase in price.
Comparing the SPDR and GOLD charts during the US session, we see that the trading volume is at the end of the session and at high prices.
==> Shows that SPDR is still increasing reserves at a high level
Gold Strength Analysis
GoldStrength chart compares to Gold.
GoldStrength is the valuation of Gold in many gold markets in many countries.
This is also the reason why we can see GoldStrength has a bullish breakout structure before GOLD.
Because countries are in the process of cutting interest rates, gold prices in countries such as EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, USD, .... are increasing due to weakening local currencies.
That's why Gold and USD can increase in phase.
=> Gold Strength had breakthroughs earlier than current Gold.
After CPI, focus on PPI and GOLD towards targetOANDA:XAUUSD Spot trading recovered after falling in yesterday's trading session due to the impact of US data, but these impacts will not be too negative for gold's uptrend in terms of both fundamental and technical aspects. .
The US CPI report creates obstacles for the Fed's ability to cut interest rates by 50bps
• The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday that the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.2% month-over-month in August, in line with market expectations.
• US CPI in August increased by 2.5% over the same period last year, decreasing for the 5th consecutive month, in line with market expectations and lower than the previous level of 2.9%.
• However, it is worth noting that core CPI in the United States increased 0.3% month-on-month in August, the largest increase in 4 months and a higher increase than the expected increase of 0.2%. . (Typically the core inflation rate reflects underlying inflation better than the overall CPI).
• US core CPI increased 3.2% year-on-year in August, in line with forecasts.
Higher-than-expected US core inflation data will become an issue for the Federal Reserve over the possibility of a 50 basis point interest rate cut in the next FOMC.
The focus now is on monthly core CPI data, which tends to raise concerns about persistent inflation. This could completely cause the FOMC to appear in the near future to oppose a strong interest rate cut, or no 50bps cut.
According to CME's "FedWatch" tool, markets now assess an 87% chance the Fed will cut interest rates by 25 basis points next week, compared with a 71% chance before the CPI data was released. This metaphor will change over time, especially after data is released, describing how market sentiment is leaning towards the Fed's interest rates.
Markets will now focus on the release of the US producer price index and initial jobless claims today (Thursday).
Basically, as we have sent to readers throughout recent publications, even if the impact of the data is not good, gold will still receive support from monetary policy, because the Fed will have to start the cycle. interest rate cut period.
Some readers have asked, how much will gold increase and when will it increase? I certainly will not be able to answer this question. But it can be easily seen that gold will still have conditions to increase until the Fed stops reducing interest rates, and when the Fed stops reducing interest rates, I don't know anymore because I have some friends in the US but don't. Who is Jerome Powell?
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, after gold corrected downward in yesterday's trading session and received support from the support confluence area noticed by readers at EMA21 and the lower edge of the price channel and the 0.786% Fibonacci extension, It has recovered and continued its short-term uptrend.
The target level and short-term upside structure are unchanged with a target of $2,531 in the short term, more than $2,544 to set a new all-time high.

CPI data focus, GOLD targets price increaseOANDA:XAUUSD Break above $2,500 and stabilize above this key raw price, which is beneficial to the uptrend and has been the target level that has been of interest to readers over the past several weeks. This trading day, notable is the US CPI data today and the European Central Bank policy meeting tomorrow.
Today (Wednesday), the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for August will be released. This will be the last important macro data before the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting in September. Whether the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by 50 basis points may depend on this .
Surveys show that the US annual core CPI growth rate in August is expected to decline from 2.9% to 2.6%, while the annual core CPI growth rate is expected to maintain at 3.2%.
If CPI increases from last month, US Treasury yields could rise again, putting gold under some pressure. On the other hand, if the data is at or below market expectations, it will cause the US Dollar to continue to sell off, helping gold move higher.
Unless CPI is much higher than expected, the Fed could cut interest rates by 25 basis points in September. If month-over-month CPI growth is lower than expected, a 50 basis point cut is possible. will happen.
Geopolitical risks have a new point
Israel may have 'accidentally killed' US activists in attack on Palestinian camp, leaving 19 dead.
Israel's military said Tuesday that a U.S. activist killed in the West Bank last week may have been shot "indirectly and unintentionally" by Israeli soldiers, a move that drew strong condemnation from U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken strong.
Israel said it has opened a criminal investigation into the murder of 26-year-old Seattle activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi.
Blinken condemned the deadly shooting when asked about it at a news conference in London and said the United States would make clear to allies that such behavior was "unacceptable."
According to AP News, Palestinian officials said Israel attacked a crowded Palestinian camp in the Gaza Strip early Tuesday morning local time, killing at least 19 people and injuring 60 others.
Elsewhere, Reuters reported that Ukraine carried out its largest drone attack to date in the Moscow region on Tuesday, killing at least one person and destroying dozens of homes and businesses. forcing about 50 flights to be diverted from airports around Moscow.
Obviously, geopolitical risks are still present, and every time the market is quiet it appears as a huge supportive force for gold prices. Therefore, considering the current geopolitical context, gold is always supported, because gold is always the leading safe haven asset whenever risks appear in the market.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD

GOLD recovers, pay attention to US CPI and PPIOANDA:XAUUSD recovered and increased in the early part of the week, following both the fundamental and technical trends sent to readers in weekly publications and publications throughout the past time. This week the market is still waiting for the US inflation report to further evaluate the interest rate direction of the US Federal Reserve.
Investors will now focus on US consumer price (CPI) data for August on Wednesday and producer price index (PPI) on Thursday.
If inflation data is much weaker than expected and raises expectations for a 50 basis point cut, gold prices will have enough fundamental momentum to aim for a new all-time record. But even if the market agrees to cut 25 basis points, gold prices will not decrease significantly because the Fed will definitely cut interest rates this September.
The situation in the Middle East remains tense, which creates momentum for gold prices to recover
According to Agence France-Presse, Israel's airstrike on central Syria on September 8, local time, killed at least 14 people.
According to Iranian media reported on September 8 local time, regarding the death of Hamas leader Haniyeh in the attack in Tehran, Commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Hossein Salami said that day. Iran will certainly not let Israel carry out its evil actions. He reiterated that Iran's retaliatory measures will be very different.
Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran, the capital of Iran, on July 31. Hamas and Iran determined that the assassination was carried out by Israel and Iran firmly vowed to retaliate. Israel has so far neither acknowledged nor denied Haniyeh's assassination.
Gold is a haven asset that is sensitive to geopolitical risks, so any new points that occur are a significant support for gold prices.

• Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller also said “the time is right” for the US central bank to begin a series of interest rate cuts, adding that he is willing to accept the scale and pace of cuts reduce.
The upcoming US CPI report next week will provide a trend impact on gold prices. This is the final inflation report before the Fed's September 17-18 policy meeting and it will impact the size and pace of the Fed's interest rate cuts.
The Fed's path to cutting interest rates is a very important factor. Once the market prices in a path of rate cuts at a faster pace over a longer period of time, gold will continue to rebound over the longer term.

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [Sep 09 - Sep 13]This week, international gold prices fell from 2,507 USD/oz to 2,471 USD/oz in the first sessions of the week. After that, gold price recovered to 2,529 USD/oz, then dropped to 2,485 USD/oz and closed this week at 2,497 USD/oz.
Recent US economic data has played an important role in shaping developments in the gold market.
The US August jobs report fell short of expectations. While economists predicted 160,000 new jobs would be created in August, the actual number was only 142,000 jobs. However, the published data was lower than forecast but still higher than the previous period.
The US unemployment rate in August decreased slightly from 4.3% to 4.2%. But this is still high compared to the 3.8% rate recorded a year ago.
These labor market figures, along with recent US inflation reports, have reinforced expectations that the Fed is about to cut interest rates. This prediction is further fueled by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's statement at the Jackson Hole Conference on August 24, in which he noted that it is time for monetary policy to adjust.
In the medium and long term, many economic experts believe that gold prices will increase sharply because the more the FED cuts interest rates, the more the USD and US Treasury bond yields will weaken, increasing the appeal of gold. . Furthermore, central banks have been and are continuing to buy gold reserves.
Technically, there is no debate about the uptrend of gold as the Weekly time frame technical chart clearly shows this. However, this rising wave is reaching the resistance level around the fibo expansion mark at fibo 161.8. In theory, it is possible that the price reaching this mark will have reversal phases, which are corrective declines to consolidate the uptrends. next bullish period. The next fibo milestone will be around 2,590-3,000 usd/oz.
Next week, the market will pay attention to US August CPI data, and the European Central Bank's (ECB) monetary policy meeting.
📌Currently, considering the H4 technical chart, the gold price is still moving sideways in a wide range, specifically fluctuating from 2,470 - 2,530 usd/oz. If the resistance level of 2530 is broken, in the immediate future the gold price will rise around the round resistance level of 2600. In case the support level of 2470 is broken, the gold price will fall back to around the threshold of 2,430 USD/oz.
Notable technical levels are listed below.
Support: 2.500 – 2.503 – 2.530USD
Resistance: 2.484 – 2.470USD

Data Week, attention to jobs gets special attention from the FedOANDA:XAUUSD fell about 1% as the USD and US Treasury bond yields increased sharply after US inflation data matched expectations over the weekend. However, as the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut policy in September and geopolitical tensions still pose many risks, gold still has a lot of potential fundamental support.

Meanwhile, tensions in the Middle East have boosted safe-haven demand for gold. Signs of steady buying from central banks in emerging markets also supported prices.
Also notable is data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) showing that as of the week of August 27, speculative net long positions in COMEX gold futures contracts increased 69 lots to 236,818 lots.

A positive surprise data will support the USD and negative data pressure the USD ahead of the widely anticipated August jobs report next Friday.
US nonfarm payrolls (NFP), due out next Friday, are expected to increase by 163,000 in August after a disappointing increase of 114,000 in July. The unemployment rate is expected to fall to 4.2 % from 4.3% and wage inflation, measured by changes in average hourly earnings, is expected to increase 0.3% from the previous month.
NFP data next week will be the main focus, because during the Jackson Hole conference, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and other members also focused a lot on employment data in the near future. It is expected that next week the market will have significant turbulence when NFP data will be the center of the big storm.

GOLD is supported, Powell is dovish, geopolitics is complicatedWith the impact of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's dovish comments, the USD continued to be less attractive and gold returned to closing weekly above the original price of 2,500 USD, opening up a positive outlook for the following week.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Friday that it is time to adjust policy, signaling that an interest rate cut is imminent. This can be considered the strongest signal of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's interest rate cut. And of course that is enough for gold to continue to increase in price.

New geopolitical point
According to Israeli media reports, an Israeli air force control tower on Mount Melon in northern Israel was attacked by Hezbollah missiles, with one missile fired directly at the facility. Israel has carried out a series of attacks in southern Lebanon in recent times.
However, hopes for an agreement faded when Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas blamed each other and failed to reach an agreement after more than 10 months of war in the Gaza Strip.
Ongoing geopolitical tensions have reinforced gold's status as a safe-haven asset, and ongoing global instability has prompted investors to turn to gold to seek protection from market risks and fluctuations. As these tensions continue to increase, gold prices will receive even more support.

Overall, in a simpler way, in the long run, gold will continue to have a basic upward trend, even when the geopolitical conflict cools down, which will only create short-term profit taking. In the coming time, the Chinese Central Bank will likely reduce the amount of physical gold purchases in the second half of the year and will focus more on gold ETF purchases, and this should be considered a solid support move when China China is the world's leading gold user and hoarder along with India.
Data focus this week
The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis will release July personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index data next Friday, which is the Fed's preferred measure of inflation.
Higher than expected data could be seen as a supportive move for the USD in the short term, while lower or equal data is expected to continue to support gold prices higher into the end of next week.
Additionally, US GDP data on Thursday could also bring some volatility to the market.
The economic calendar needs attention this week

Thursday: Weekly unemployment claims, US second-quarter preliminary GDP
Friday: US PCE index
