Core Viewpoint - The international gold market is experiencing narrow fluctuations, influenced by the unexpected significant decline in the US PPI data and the anticipated rise in the US CPI data, alongside a stabilizing dollar index [1][3]. Group 1: Economic Indicators - The US PPI for August unexpectedly decreased, leading the market to almost fully price in three rate cuts for the remainder of the year [3]. - If the upcoming US CPI data does not show a decline from previous values, it may weaken bullish sentiment for gold prices, potentially leading to a consolidation or downward movement [3]. Group 2: Market Sentiment and Predictions - Due to the unexpected decline in PPI and favorable initial jobless claims data, gold prices are likely to remain stable with a tendency for slight upward movement [3]. - The daily chart indicates that gold prices formed a top reversal pattern but have not yet fallen below the 5-day moving average, suggesting that bullish sentiment remains dominant until a drop below this average occurs [3]. - If gold prices do drop below the 5-day moving average, potential support levels are identified at around $3570 or further below $3500, which could present new bullish entry opportunities [3].

Core Insights - The US July CPI increased by 0.2% month-on-month, and the core CPI rose by 0.32%, both meeting expectations. This marks the end of five consecutive months of core CPI underperformance [1][2] - Year-on-year, the CPI was expected to rise by 2.8% but actually increased by 2.7%, while the core CPI was expected to rise by 3.0% but increased by 3.06%. The discrepancies are attributed to seasonal adjustments and rounding issues [1][2] - The inflation structure indicates a rebound in used car prices, tariff impacts on furniture and auto parts, and fluctuations in airline ticket prices and hotel rates, contributing to the inflation rebound this month [1][3] Inflation Structure - Core goods CPI month-on-month increased slightly from 0.20% to 0.21%, with furniture, clothing, and leisure goods showing varying degrees of decline. Transportation goods improved from -0.38% to 0.22%, with both new and used car prices rebounding [3] - Housing inflation saw a rise in residential services from 0.18% to 0.23%, with owner-equivalent rent (OER) and rent price rent (RPR) increasing to 0.28% and 0.26%, respectively, returning to pre-pandemic levels [3] - Super core CPI rebounded significantly from 0.21% to 0.48%, driven by contributions from medical insurance and transportation [3] Market Reaction - Following the July CPI data release, interest rate cut expectations increased, leading to a decline in the 2-year US Treasury yield to 3.72%. The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.31%, with the 10-year real yield reaching 1.93% [4] - The market narrative shifted to "moderate inflation → increased rate cut expectations → improved growth outlook," resulting in a drop in the dollar index below 98 and a decline in gold prices, while US stocks and silver prices rose [4] Trading Strategy - Current market expectations for rate cuts are overly optimistic, with a projected 2.4 cuts/61 basis points for the year. The optimistic scenario suggests two cuts (in September and December), while the pessimistic scenario suggests one cut (in October) [5] - The current pricing of 61 basis points for rate cuts indicates at least an 11 basis point adjustment potential. Overly optimistic rate cut expectations imply upward risks for the dollar index and short-term interest rates [5] - Future gold price increases may stem from "inflation exceeding expectations → delayed rate cut expectations → increased economic pressure → downward revision of growth outlook" [5]
