The pan-European Stoxx 600 was up 0.3% at 8:45 a.m. in London, with tech stocks up 1%. LONDON — European stock markets were higher Thursday morning after a cooler-than-expected U.S. inflation reading and fall in U.K. gross domestic product. The U.K. economy contracted 0.1% in May, official figures showed, though this was less than the 0.3% month-on-month contraction forecast in a Reuters poll of economists. Asia-Pacific stocks were higher Thursday, while the S&P 500 closed Wednesday at its highest level since April 2022. U.S. producer price figures are due today.

That was the smallest year-on-year increase since March 2021 and followed a 4.0% rise in May. The year-on-year CPI is slowing in part as last year's large rises drop out of the calculation. It was the first time in six months that the so-called core CPI did not post monthly gains of at least 0.4%. Services prices rose 0.3%, matching May's gain. Economists view the ISM services prices paid measure as a good predictor of personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation.

U.S. Treasury prices rose. It was the first time in six months that the so-called core CPI did not post monthly gains of at least 0.4%. In the 12 months through June, the core CPI rose 4.8%. Core inflation is expected to continue receding in the months ahead, with the labor market cooling and independent measures showing rents on a downward trend. Economists view the ISM services prices paid measure as a good predictor of personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation.

SummaryCompanies Dollar down 0.3%, at lowest since May 11Inflation data expected at 1230 GMTJuly 12 (Reuters) - Gold prices rose on Wednesday after the dollar and bond yields retreated as investors awaited U.S. inflation data that could offer more cues on the Federal Reserve's rate-hike policy path. Making gold cheaper for holders of other currencies, the dollar index (.DXY) fell 0.3% to its lowest level since May 11. "There has been some renewed confidence in gold prices lately, given the broad expectations for the upcoming U.S. CPI to reflect further moderation in pricing pressures," said Yeap Jun Rong, market strategist at IG. Economists polled by Reuters expect June core inflation rate to have dropped to 5% from 5.3%, still significantly above the Fed's 2% target. In the wider base metals market, prices rose, supported by a weaker dollar, although a gloomy demand outlook loomed over the market.

The 2-year Treasury yield was down by more than 1 basis point at 4.847%. U.S. Treasury yields declined Tuesday as investors assessed what could be next for Federal Reserve monetary policy following remarks from central bank officials and ahead of key economic data. Investors considered the Federal Reserve's next interest rate policy moves ahead of key inflation data due this week and the central bank's upcoming meeting on July 25-26. Investors are also looking out for several major economic data points scheduled for this week, including the latest consumer inflation figures on Wednesday and wholesale inflation on Thursday. No key data is expected on Tuesday.

Spot gold held its ground at $1,926.19 per ounce by 0231 GMT. The dollar (.DXY) was near a two-month low on prospects of lower rates, while benchmark U.S. yields hovered near Monday's lows at 4.0018%. A weaker dollar makes gold cheaper for holders of foreign currencies. "As we've become accustomed to inflation decelerating, an upside surprise would spark the most volatile reaction and weigh on gold. Gold bulls need inflation to behave to justify a bullish breakout," Simpson added.

June data for the producer price index — another well-watched gauge of inflation — is due Thursday before the bell.

"But at the same time, it just puts the Fed in a position where they've got more work to do." Wall Street's main indexes ended sharply lower in a broad selloff in the previous session, with the benchmark S&P 500 posting its biggest daily percentage drop in six weeks, after employment data on Thursday showed the number of jobs more than doubled in June.

Private payrolls surged far more than expected in June, data showed, suggesting the labor market remained solid despite growing risks of a recession. “We don’t see any softening in the labor market,” said Brad McMillan, chief investment officer for Commonwealth Financial Network. All 11 S&P 500 sectors ended down. U.S. interest rate futures saw an increased probability of another rate hike by the Federal Reserve in November, according to CME's FedWatch. Second-quarter corporate reports will arrive in coming weeks with S&P 500 earnings expected to fall 5.7% from a year-ago, according to Refinitiv data.

Treasury yields jumped following the labor market data. The benchmark 10-year yield burst above 4% while the two-year Treasury yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations, hit a 16-year high. U.S. interest rate futures saw an increased probability of another rate hike by the Federal Reserve in November, according to CME's FedWatch.

Private payrolls increased more than expected in June, the ADP National Employment report showed, indicating the labor market remained strong despite growing risks of a recession from higher interest rates. Another survey showed the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits increased moderately last week. "The Fed has been hopeful to see a modest deterioration in the labor market," said Randy Frederick, managing director of trading and derivatives for Charles Schwab. "But since the ADP number was almost twice of what was expected, it generally implies there's potential for more rate hikes going forward."

Bars of gold are seen at Krastsvetmet, one of the world's largest producers of precious metals, in Moscow, January 31, 2023. Spot gold was little changed at $1,921.39 per ounce by 0241 GMT, while U.S. gold futures were flat at $1,929.10. High interest rates discourage investment in non-yielding gold. Markets will also watch for minutes of the June 13 to14 FOMC meeting being released on Wednesday. While gold prices could recover to $1,940 before a potential drop lower, "the rates background remains a significant drag," Frappell added.

European markets opened mixed on Tuesday, with investors in a cautious mood ahead of data releases and the start of second-quarter earnings season. Data is also due on U.K. average mortgage rates. The U.S. Federal Reserve will release the minutes of its last meeting Wednesday, after Chairman Jerome Powell said there was "more restriction coming." Markets are currently pricing in an 89.9% likelihood of a 25-basis-point hike in interest rates July, according to CME's FedWatch tool. It comes as central bankers and leading economists warn markets not to expect interest rate cuts too fast or too soon.

[1/3] Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., June 29, 2023. Financials (.SPSY) led the gainers after the Federal Reserve's stress test showed U.S. lenders have adequate capital to weather an economic storm. Treasury yields rose, with 10-year yields touching their highest level since early March after economic reports painted a picture of a solid U.S. economy, promoting the "higher for longer" scenario with respect to restrictive monetary policy. The dollar touched a two-week high against a basket of world currencies as upbeat economic data provided cushion to the Fed to continue raising rates. Oil prices posted modest gains as the solid economic data suggested strong demand and a steeper-than-expected drop in U.S. crude inventories.

Hundred dollar bills are seen in this photo illustraiton in Warsaw, Poland on Sept. 21, 2022. The U.S. dollar index climbed to a two-week high on Thursday after economic data showed the labor market remained on a solid footing, giving the Federal Reserve a possible cushion to continue raising interest rates. He said he did not see inflation coming down to the Fed's 2% target until at least 2025. The dollar index was up 0.204% at 103.150 after earlier climbing to 103.44, its highest level since June 13. The dollar strengthened against the Japanese yen for a third straight day, hitting a fresh 7-1/2 month high of 144.90, as U.S. and Japanese central bank policy plans are expected to remain at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Gold hovers near mid-March low on dollar strength, hawkish Fed
  + stars: | 2023-06-29 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Gold prices lingered near a Mid-March low on Thursday, dragged down by a stronger dollar and hawkish comments from U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Spot gold fell 0.1% to $1,906.17 per ounce, near a mid-March low hit on Wednesday. Powell's hawkish remarks reinforced interest rates going higher for longer, with a higher opportunity cost of holding gold dimming the appeal of gold, said OCBC FX strategist Christopher Wong. Powell suggested another two rate hikes to the Fed funds target rate were likely, and he did not see inflation abating to the 2% target until 2025. Asian shares were subdued on the premise of higher interest rates, while the Japanese yen and the Chinese yuan struggled to lift from lows amid fears of official intervention.

Gold steadies near three-month lows; focus shifts to Powell

Gold held near three-month lows on Wednesday after strong U.S. economic readings offset the bullion's traditional safe-haven status, while traders positioned for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech and more data for clues on rate hikes. Spot gold rose 0.1% to $1,915.45 per ounce by 0524 GMT, hovering close to its lowest level since March 16 at $1,910. Data on Tuesday indicating that the economy remained on solid footing could lead to more Fed rate hikes to bring down inflation. Powell will speak at a policy panel on Wednesday before the European Central Bank Forum on Central Banking in Sintra along with other central bank members. Spot silver rose 0.2% to $22.93 per ounce, platinum fell 0.9% to $916.83 while palladium dropped 1.1% to $1,281.48.

REUTERS/Brendan McDermidNEW YORK, June 27 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks moved sharply higher in a broad rally on Tuesday, and the dollar softened as robust economic data eased recession fears and stoked investors' risk appetite. "The economic data today was particularly strong," said Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at GLOBALT Investments in Atlanta. Emerging market stocks rose 0.58%. U.S. Treasury yields edged higher as solid economic data calmed recession jitters. Crude prices slid after U.S. economic indicators surprised to the upside, ahead of energy demand data expected later in the session.

Gold prices edge higher as tepid dollar lifts appeal

Gold prices edged higher on a weaker dollar, although bullion hovered close to three-month lows as traders assessed prospects that more interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve were in the offing. Spot gold rose 0.2% to $1,925.78 per ounce by 0341 GMT. Bullion slumped nearly 2% in the previous week as hawkish comments from Fed officials suggested more rate hikes to bring down sticky inflation. Higher interest rates make non-yielding gold less appealing. San Francisco Fed Bank President Mary Daly said on Friday two more rate hikes this year are a "very reasonable" projection.

With few market-moving catalysts this week aside from Powell's congressional testimony, all three indexes notched weekly losses, ending a weeks-long rally. The Nasdaq snapped its eight-week winning streak, its longest since March 2019, while the S&P 500 (.SPX) broke its five-week rally, its longest since November 2021. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq logged their biggest Friday-to-Friday percentage drops since early March, when the regional banking liquidity crisis hit. "You can probably count on a rate hike next month, but it's that second hike that the markets are skeptical of," Mayfield added. According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 (.SPX) lost 33.48 points, or 0.76%, to end at 4,348.41 points, while the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC) lost 138.09 points, or 1.01%, to 13,492.52.

All three major U.S. stock indexes notched their third straight daily declines, with megacap tech- and tech-related shares weighing most. Tesla Inc (TSLA.O), along AI-related stocks such as Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) and Nvidia Corp (NVDA.O) were the heaviest drags. "There could be one more rate hike, but I don’t think anyone's buying the fact that there will be two. "A big portion of today’s weakness is because Tesla had one of its worst days in a while," Detrick added. "After a record win streak some kind of weakness is perfectly acceptable and normal."
