Commodity Markets Brace for Volatility Amid US Jobs Data and Geopolitical Tensions
Commodity markets are expected to experience volatility in September following a significant decline in gold prices last week. Traders are closely monitoring US non-farm payroll data, manufacturing and services PMI from major economies including India, and inflation figures from the Eurozone and Germany. Geopolitical tensions, particularly involving Iran, add uncertainty. Analysts highlight that market participants are pricing in potential Federal Reserve policy changes, with gold and silver futures recently seeing notable price drops on the Multi Commodity Exchange.
