Gold Futures Market News and Commentary
The dollar index (DXY00) on Friday rallied to a 1.75-month high and finished up by +0.66%. The dollar recovered from early losses on Friday and surged on the stronger-than-expected US May payroll report, bolstering speculation that the next Fed move will be an interest rate increase.  Also, Friday's stock market sell-off boosted liquidity demand for the dollar.
The dollar also has safe-haven support as the US and Iran have made little progress in talks over an interim peace deal, with clashes between Israel and Hezbollah militants ongoing in Lebanon.  Iran insists on a ceasefire in Lebanon before accepting a US deal to extend the truce and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump said Thursday that negotiations with Iran are in the "final" stages without elaborating, while Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi earlier said there had been "no tangible progress" even though both sides continue to exchange messages via mediators.
