Gold Futures Market News and Commentary

Dollar Firms on Stock Weakness and Hawkish Williams

The dollar index (DXY00) is up by +0.13% today.  The dollar is moving higher today amid weakness in stocks, which is boosting liquidity demand for the currency.  Also, hawkish comments today from New York Fed President John Williams boosted the dollar, as he said inflation is still quite high.  In addition, higher crude oil prices today have pushed up inflation expectations and could persuade the Fed to keep monetary policy tight, a supportive factor for the dollar.  The dollar fell from its best level after the US May trade deficit widened to a 14-month high. 

The US May trade deficit widened to -$77.6 billion, the largest deficit in 14 months and a negative factor for Q2 GDP.

New York Fed President John Williams said inflation remains quite high and that he sees steady economic growth and labor market stability.

The swaps markets are discounting the odds at 25% for a +25 bp rate hike at the next FOMC meeting on July 28-29.
