Gold gained on Thursday aided by rising concerns over the spread of the Delta coronavirus variant, while investors awaited the U.S. nonfarm payrolls report for more monetary policy clues. Rising cases of the Delta variant have prompted France to delay the easing of restrictions in the Landes region, while infections have also surged in Asia. Also on investors’ radar is Friday’s U.S. nonfarm payrolls that could provide more clues on the timeline for Fed’s shift in monetary policy. The weekly jobless claims data is due later Thursday. Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Robert Kaplan said on Wednesday he would like the Fed to start reducing its support for the economy before the end of the year, in part to make an abrupt policy tightening less likely later.
Crude oil prices rose 2% on Thursday, supported by the prospect of strengthening demand, lower U.S. inventories, and a Reuters report that OPEC+ producers have planned to increase output in the coming months. The OPEC+ group of oil producers meets on Thursday to decide on its output policy. The group comprising the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies including Russia is moving towards adding about 2 million barrels per day (BPD) of oil to the market between August and December, an OPEC+ source told Reuters. The source said monthly increases would amount to less than 0.5 million BPD.
