Surprise from Flash PMI in the eurozone allowed the euro to continue its fight

According to preliminary PMI estimates, the Eurozone industry moved from contraction to growth in August for the first time in more than two years.

The manufacturing PMI rose to 50.5, entering growth territory for the first time since June 2022, after it was 48.8 a month earlier. The data contradicted the expected decline to 49.6, indicating a more stable state of the economy.

The dollar finds its footing, but the Fed holds the cards

The US dollar has shaken off its fears and gone on the counterattack. The Fed is still dependent on data. It does not allow for a 50 basis-point cut in the federal funds rate in September and a 150–175 basis points cut in the cycle. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noted these figures as possible outcomes based on economic models, but stressed that he was not directing the Fed to act. Foreign investors are reducing their hedging of risks associated with owning US assets. Other countries continue to buy US Treasury bonds. Is the USD index oversold?

Ahead of Jerome Powell's speech in Jackson Hole, speculators were unwinding their short positions on the US currency. This resulted in a pullback in the USD index. Donald Trump was able to stop it for a while. The US president called on FOMC member Lisa Cook to resign for alleged mortgage fraud. The White House is intent on filling the Committee with its own people, turning the central bank into a puppet and aggressively lowering rates. The erosion of confidence in the Fed is a bearish factor for the dollar.

⚠️ USA — Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell Speaks at 14:00 GMT

The tedious seesaw for gold is about to end

Gold's hopes for an aggressive cut in the Fed's federal funds rate, the associated decline in Treasury bond yields, and the weakening of the US dollar have not yet materialised. The Fed is likely to ease monetary policy in September. However, it may then pause again. Its slowness is bringing investors' interest back to the greenback.

Clouds are gathering over the precious metal due to Donald Trump's efforts to end the armed conflict in Ukraine. The start of hostilities, followed by the West's freezing of Russia's gold and foreign exchange reserves, was the starting point for the Gold’s rally. Since February 2022, gold has risen 1.7x and reached a record high of more than $3,500 per ounce in April. The rally was driven by de-dollarisation, active buying of bullion by central banks, and increased demand for ETFs.

What is ahead: US PCE and German CPI

The main economic calendar events for the last week of August will be the release of data on US GDP for the second quarter, the personal consumption expenditure index, and the trade balance for July. Investors will be interested in the minutes of the last meeting of the European Central Bank and the preliminary estimate of inflation in Germany. GDP estimates will also be published for Canada and Switzerland, while consumer price data will be published for Japan.

According to Goldman Sachs estimates, the end of the Russia-Ukraine conflict will result in a 2.5% strengthening of the euro against the US dollar. The eurozone economy, which has been affected by geopolitics and the energy crisis, will receive a new impetus for growth. Its outperformance of US GDP in 2026, thanks in part to Germany's fiscal stimulus, will create a solid foundation for an upward trend in EURUSD.
