Gold Futures Market News and Commentary
The dollar index (DXY00) rallied to a 13-month high on Thursday, finishing up by 0.80%. The dollar rose on Thursday on carryover support from Wednesday, when the FOMC projected higher interest rates later this year.  Thursday's US economic news was also supportive of the dollar as weekly jobless claims fell as expected and the June Philadelphia Fed business outlook survey rose more than expected.
On the negative side for the dollar was Thursday's decline in WTI crude oil prices to a 3.5-month low, which lowered inflation expectations and could potentially allow the Fed to pursue easier monetary policies, a bearish factor for the dollar. Also, Thursday's stock rally reduced liquidity demand for the dollar.
US weekly initial unemployment claims fell by -4,000 to 226,000, close to expectations of 225,000.
