Fundamental Analysis - The U.S. White House announced that Trump signed an executive order modifying reciprocal tariff rates for certain countries, imposing a 10% tariff on countries not listed in the order, increasing tariffs on Canada from 25% to 35%, and imposing a 40% punitive tariff on transshipped goods. These measures have strengthened the demand for the U.S. dollar in international trade settlements, indirectly suppressing the monetary appeal of gold [1] - Despite some countries like Brazil and Indonesia receiving tariff exemptions, the overall escalation of trade tensions has not significantly stimulated market demand for gold as a safe haven, suggesting that gold prices may face upward limitations in the short term [1] - Economic data indicates that July's Challenger job cuts reached the highest level for the same period since 2020, and initial jobless claims show signs of labor market weakness. However, June's core PCE inflation unexpectedly rebounded to 2.8%, with consumer spending nearly stagnant, hinting at potential stagflation. This complex economic environment should support gold, but expectations regarding Federal Reserve policy are key suppressive factors [1] - Treasury Secretary Mnuchin indicated that personnel adjustments at the Federal Reserve will be completed by the end of the year, and Trump publicly criticized Powell's policy missteps, suggesting the potential appointment of more hawkish officials. Market expectations for the Fed to maintain high interest rates to combat inflation have risen, increasing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold, which may exert downward pressure on gold prices in the short term [1] Technical Analysis - The current gold price is in a downtrend after retreating from its high, with the 4-hour chart indicating a bearish trend. The moving averages MA20 and MA60 are in a bearish arrangement, and the middle band of the Bollinger Bands along with MA20 is exerting pressure on the price [4] - The CCI indicator is near the oversold zone and is turning down, suggesting that the downtrend may continue. The trading strategy for the day is to focus on short positions [4] Market News - Key economic indicators to be released include the UK July Manufacturing PMI final value, Eurozone July CPI year-on-year and month-on-month initial values, U.S. July unemployment rate, U.S. July non-farm payrolls, and various other employment-related metrics [7][8]
