Gold prices rallied today following the release of weaker than expected manufacturing data from the U.S. It had been expected that economic activity would slow, but a softer than anticipated ISM manufacturing index figure suggests a U.S. economy that is slowing at a faster rate than could be wanted by markets in general. Gold reached $1,702.90 before backing off thus far today. Increased price volatility is expected to continue. Later this week, the release of U.S. employment data should provide more into U.S. economic conditions. Gold prices could head higher should this data disappoint markets.
In addition to economic data incoming, there continues to be a potential escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Russia appears to be losing its grip on its held territories in Ukraine, in essence losing the war. There has been increased talk of potential desperate moves on the part of Russia to keep territories it has annexed from Ukraine. This has the potential to sharply increase volatility across markets, something to keep note of and watch for.
