#TradingDay: Hiking pressure eases
Aug 13 (Reuters) - Stocks and bond prices rose on Thursday, with the S&P 500 barreling to a fresh high, as investors cheered another relatively benign snapshot of U.S. inflation that reduces the pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates.
In my column today, I look at what's driving gold's revival. Uncertainty around the U.S. rate outlook, Fed independence and credibility, just as the U.S.-Iran war is flaring up again, has drawn investors back to gold, especially one group — central banks.
Today's Talking Points:
Battle lines drawn
If you were hoping this week's CPI and PPI reports would give some degree of clarity on the U.S. inflation outlook, you'd be disappointed. Both were relatively benign, especially the PPI data, raising the likelihood that the Fed sits on its hands a little bit longer. A rate hike isn't fully priced now until December.
Another OpenAI departure
OpenAI's chief revenue officer Denise Dresser is leaving less than a year after joining, "to pursue other opportunities." She will be replaced by Dali Rajic, who joins from Wiz, and brings "deep expertise in running disciplined, metrics-led revenue organizations that scale globally and selling to both large enterprises and technical customers," OpenAI said on its website, opens new tab.
Brit-pop higher
Britain's economy unexpectedly grew in June, boosted by the World Cup, hot weather and respite from the Middle East energy shock. The leap in June meant GDP rose by 0.4% in the second quarter, following 0.6% in the first. This means Britain is on course for the strongest growth in the G7 over the first half of the year.
What could move markets tomorrow?
Taiwan GDP (Q2, revised)
Germany producer price inflation (July)
Euro zone GDP (Q2, flash estimate)
U.S. retail sales (July)
U.S. University of Michigan consumer, inflation expectations (August, prelim)
