[Market Evening] Worries About Global Economic Slowdown Continue, And The Upside of Oil Prices Is Still Limited!

As of 17:00 (GMT+8), spot gold fell 0.737% to $1660.82/oz, and spot silver fell 1.445% to $19.235/oz.

Comment: International gold prices fell as investors prepare for major central banks, especially the Federal Reserve, to raise interest rates sharply this week to curb high inflation. But further rate hikes by the Fed are unlikely.

Suggestion: short spot gold at 1661.60 position, and the target point is 1654.70.

As of 17:00 (GMT+8), the US dollar index rose 0.347% to 109.79, EUR/USD fell 0.378% to 0.99747; GBP/USD fell 0.374% to 1.13812; AUD/USD fell 0.470% to 0.66900; USD /JPY was up 0.341% at 143.393.

Comment: The Fed will hold an interest rate decision on September 21. The market generally expects the Fed to raise interest rates by 75 basis points, this time to slow down economic growth and cool inflation.

Suggestion:  short the EUR/USD at 0.997740 position, and the target point is 0.99319.

As of 17:00 (GMT+8), WTI fell 1.343% to $83.801/barrel; Brent fell 0.980% to $89.706/barrel.

Comment: Oil prices had fallen about $30 since their recent highs in early June, before the Federal Reserve and other central banks began aggressively raising rates to combat runaway inflation. Tighter monetary policy is expected to slow economic growth, while some financial market indicators point to a recession expected, which could slow growth in global oil demand.

Suggestion: Go short US crude oil at 83.868 position, target point is 82.498.
