Macro & Central Bank Drivers
1️⃣ U.S. NFP Shock (+162K vs. +53K Exp):
Strong job data backed Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s hawkish tone from Jackson Hole, supporting the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) and keeping real yields elevated.
2️⃣ Global Rate Hikes:
Incoming rate decisions from the ECB (expected +25 bps to 2.50%) and BOJ (expected +25 bps to 1.25%) raise global risk-free bond yields, increasing the holding cost of non-yielding bullion.
📅 High-Impact Calendar Ahead
* ECB Interest Rate Decision (+25 bps expected)- 9 September 2026
* U.S. CPI Inflation Release (11 September 2026)
* U.S. FOMC Rate Decision & Economic Projections- 16 September 2026
