Gold is under pressure after the US released a series of important figures that are unfavorable for this precious metal. According to Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at FXStreet, a slew of positive US data on Thursday eased concerns about an economic recession and boosted stocks to near-weekly highs. Financial markets welcomed the news that US retail sales rose 1% in July, far better than the expected 0.3% increase. Moreover, the number of initial jobless claims in the week ending August 9 rose less than predicted, up 227,000 compared to the forecast of 235,000. This news caused the US dollar to strengthen against all major currencies.
The decrease in jobless claims indicates that the US economy is recovering well, reinforcing the possibility that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates lower than expected in September. According to some experts, a rate cut in September is certain. However, the new data reinforces the likelihood that the Fed will cut by 25 basis points instead of the expected 50.
