The price of gold fell for a third consecutive day this week, erasing most of its gains from the previous week, as several market factors continued to weigh on the precious metal.

Gold rebounds, but Fed expectations continue to weigh

James Chen, CMT October 9, 2017 11:43 AM

Due to this rise in Fed expectations, the US dollar extended its recent recovery and gold continued to fall in the immediate aftermath of Friday’s employment release. While these market moves soon reversed, however, the dollar remains supported and gold remains pressured on both the prospect of a near-term rate hike in December as well as the possib...

Gold surges as NK/US tensions escalate

James Chen, CMT September 25, 2017 4:05 PM

The US dollar was mixed on Monday – down against the safe-haven Japanese yen and up against the euro in the aftermath of Sunday’s German election – but was broadly higher overall against a basket of major currencies.

Bullish gold trend still intact and poised for potential continuation

James Chen, CMT September 13, 2017 4:38 PM

On Wednesday, as the US dollar extended this week’s rebound from last week’s long-term lows against a basket of other major currencies, gold prices continued to pull back within the sharp uptrend that has been in place for the past two months.

GBP/JPY surges on higher UK inflation and lower risk aversion ahead of BoE

James Chen, CMT September 12, 2017 1:18 PM

The British pound surged on Tuesday after a key UK inflation measure in the form of the Consumer Price Index came out at +2.9% year-over-year for August, higher than both the +2.8% expected and the +2.6% reading from the previous month. This higher-than-expected inflation data is likely to prompt a more hawkish stance from the Bank of England when t...

GBP/JPY one to watch amid market risks in the week ahead

James Chen, CMT August 18, 2017 1:47 PM

On Friday, US equity markets stabilized and began to recover from the sharp plunge in stocks a day earlier. Volatility returned to lower levels and Thursday’s strong demand for safe-haven assets diminished significantly as of mid-day Friday.
