In the Asian session on Tuesday (October 11), spot gold fluctuated slightly and was currently trading around $1,664.4/oz. After the market was closed on Monday, U.S. bond yields continued to rise on Tuesday, and the 10-year Treasury yield hit a new high in a week and a half. To 4%, it is also close to the high of 4.019% since 2008 hit in September, and the US dollar index is also approaching a high of more than 20 years, putting pressure on gold prices. However, the hawkish speech of the Fed officials and the strong non-agricultural data have been initially digested by the market. The geopolitical situation in Russia and Ukraine is still tense, and worries about the global economic recession have also provided safe-haven support for the gold price.

Of course, there is also some wait-and-see sentiment in the market before the release of US inflation data this week. The market expects the headline inflation rate in September to be 8.1%, down from 8.3% in August; the core inflation rate is expected to rise from 6.3% in August to 6.5%, which may prompt the Fed’s aggressive monetary policy to continue into next year, which is not good for gold prices.
There are few economic data in this trading day. It is necessary to pay attention to the speeches of the officials of the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England. On Monday, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer Quatten announced the budget in advance, and the British bond yields rose sharply, which also once put pressure on the price of gold; Pay attention to news related to the geopolitical situation in Russia and Ukraine.
