The previous week in the markets was very volatile, and the situation around debt securities played a key role in creating investor sentiments. Yields will also remain in focus next week with the release of the FOMC minutes and US CPI data for September. Moreover, Wall Street's Q3 2023 earnings season is about to begin. Be sure to watch GOLD, US500 and EURGBP in the coming week!
GOLD
Gold has had a tough time recently, with a strong rise in yields in the U.S. pushing the precious metal price lower. The price of gold has fallen 6% over the past two weeks and has dropped to levels not seen since early March 2023. The publication of the FOMC minutes (Wednesday, 7:00 BST), as well as the US CPI data for September (Thursday, 1:30 pm BST) will be key for the USD, yields and gold this week. It should also be noted that also very important PPI data for September (Wednesday, 1:30 BST) will be released before the CPI.
