Gold Dec '23 (GCZ23)

The dollar index (DXY00) Thursday retreated from a 1-week high and finished down by -0.33%. The dollar slid Thursday after US weekly jobless claims unexpectedly increased, which signaled a weaker labor market that is dovish for Fed policy. Also, strength in the euro weighed on the dollar as the euro moved higher after the ECB delivered a hawkish rate cut when it refrained from pre-committing to future interest rate cuts after cutting rates Thursday.

On the positive side for the dollar, Thursday’s as-expected US Aug PPI report dampened speculation that the Fed will cut interest rates by 50 bp at next week’s FOMC meeting.

US weekly initial unemployment claims unexpectedly rose +2,000 to 230,000, showing a slightly weaker labor market than expectations of a decline to 226,000.

US Aug PPI final demand eased to +1.7% y/y from +2.1% y/y in July, right on expectations and the smallest increase in 6 months. Aug PPI ex-food and energy rose +2.4 % y/y, up from +2.3% y/y i. Read more
