Gold awaits Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech
Gold is undergoing a shallow correction ahead of Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech. A neutral stance on easing financial conditions could support another test of USD 4,775 and USD 4,890 per ounce.

NVIDIA earnings preview: AI capex, Blackwell ramp and 216.40 bullish breakout hold the key
NVIDIA heads into Q2 FY2027 earnings as the market’s key test of whether AI infrastructure demand is still accelerating fast enough to justify its US$5 trillion-plus valuation. Traders will focus on Data Centre revenue, Blackwell and Rubin execution, gross margins, Q3 guidance and AI capex sustainability. Technically, a breakout above 216.40 could revive the medium-term uptrend, while a daily close below 195.95 would weaken the bullish reversal case.

Treasury Intervention Puts the Dollar Under Pressure
A sharp rise in US Treasury yields dominated the week before the Treasury Department expanded its long-term bond buyback programme. The move improved market liquidity and briefly reduced borrowing costs, but also weakened the dollar. With oil prices elevated and US debt exceeding USD40 trillion, investors are questioning whether Washington is becoming more willing to tolerate currency depreciation in order to stabilise the bond market.

The US labour market is losing momentum – as is the USD
