XAU/USD: Gold facing a further weakness the last hours and trading below 23.6% key retracement area. Gold bulls are disappointed from the current price action.
US Market View
U.S. stocks are seen opening slightly lower Thursday, consolidating after recent gains amid cautious trading ahead of key unemployment data, while the cold snap keeps oil prices elevated. Oil prices extended recent gains Thursday, as although the winter storm that crippled the Texas electrical grid is moving out of the state, freezing temperatures remain, hampering attempts to restore power.
Data Wednesday pointed to a strong economic recovery, with retail sales climbing 5.3% on the month in January and producer prices climbing more sharply than expected, but the FOMC minutes from its last meeting emphasized that its monetary stance will nonetheless remain easy for some time.
USA Key Point
- ECB policymakers agreed that ample monetary stimulus remained essential.
