Gold Rises as Weak US Data Weighs on Dollar, Treasury Yields

Gold rose for a second straight session early Monday, edging higher as the dollar and Treasury yields eased after another report pointed to a slowing US economy.Gold for November delivery was last up $15.70, or 0.4%, at $4,145.40 per ounce.The US Census Bureau reported that durable goods orders rose 0.3% in June, following a 4.0% decline in May, but well below consensus expectations for a 2.1% increase, according to MarketWatch.The weaker-than-expected data added to signs of a slowing US economy and could bolster the case for the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates steady despite higher energy prices following the US-Iran war, which have increased inflationary pressures. Although gold prices are down 21% since the Feb. 28 start of the war, demand for the precious metal remains solid."Gold climbed about 0.9% to near 4,090 dollars an ounce, on track for its first monthly gain since the Middle East conflict began, with central-bank reserve buying and sovereign-debt concerns cited as structural supports," Saxo Bank wrote.The dollar was lower early, with the ICE dollar index last seen down 0.08 points to 101.38.

EMEA Natural Gas Update: Futures Slide Amid Reports of Progress in US-Iran Talks

European natural gas futures retreated sharply on Monday, pulling back from a four-month high, amid reports of progress being made on the diplomatic front between the US and Iran.The front-month Dutch TTF contract was down 7.20% at 58.995 euros ($67.15) per megawatt-hour, while the front-month UK NBP contract dropped 7.28% to 142.890 British pence ($1.90) per therm.US forces refrained from launching fresh strikes against Iran over the weekend, with Tehran likewise suspending retaliatory attacks on US bases across the region after nearly two weeks of steady escalation in the conflict, according to a report by Al Jazeera.Tehran and Washington were also reportedly exchanging messages via intermediaries, restoring hopes for a potential diplomatic resolution to the hostilities.Mediators have also achieved success in getting the two sides back to negotiations, thus averting an all-out war in region, according to a report by Associated Press, citing two regional officials familiar with the matter.Meanwhile, traffic along the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz, which accounted for one-fifth of global LNG flows, dipped to just 9 transits on Sunday, according to data from ShipFinder.However, Daniel Hynes, a senior commodity strategist at ANZ, noted that Europe still has to "compete hard for available cargoes," due to the ongoing restrictions on LNG flows from Qatar. He also said that the situation was made worse by strong demand in Asia, amid the higher-than-average temperatures in the region.European gas inventories were below historic averages, at 55.35%, compared to 66.47% during the corresponding period a year ago, according to Gas Infrastructure Europe.Inventories were also significantly below the five-year average for this period, at 71.2%, according to the Swiss Federal Office of Energy.The unprecedented heatwave across Europe is set to give way to severe hail and thunderstorms this week, primarily over the Mediterranean region, according to a report by Severe Weather EU, which is set to provide relief from the space cooling demand and gas-fired power burn.

US Oil Update: Crude Slumps from Recent Highs as US-Iran Hostilities Pause

Crude oil futures fell sharply on Monday as US-Iran hostilities looked to have paused and amid Oman-mediated transit security talks, undoing some of oil's recent hefty gains that last week took Brent close to $100 a barrel.Front-month West Texas Intermediate crude futures tumbled almost 5.9% to $84.11 per barrel, while Brent futures declined 6.1% to $90.85/bbl. Both the contracts were trading near monthly highs last week as conflict intensified.The pullback followed nearly two weeks of intense clashes, after which the US paused strikes and Tehran engaged in constructive talks with Oman regarding transit security in the Strait of Hormuz."The US suspended strikes against Iran for a second night, easing supply-disruption fears after almost two weeks of conflict. The unannounced pause began late Friday, with Tehran saying it had halted retaliatory operations and held talks with Oman over the Strait of Hormuz," Saxo Bank analysts said.The market pullback also comes on the heels of widening pricing distortions.Compounding regional strains, Yemen-backed Houthi forces targeted Saudi energy facilities in Jazan and Yanbu with drone attacks over the weekend.Outside the Middle East, supply disruptions multiplied as oil loading at Russia's Sheskharis terminal in Novorossiysk remained halted due to Ukrainian drone strikes.ANZ analysts warned that while finite buffers such as China's reduced crude imports, emergency stock releases, and Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline have cushioned the blow, these defenses are finite, leaving the market vulnerable to further upside price risks if disruption persists.
