Key Summary
Global markets focused on weaker-than-expected U.S. August nonfarm payrolls, which intensified expectations of an accelerated Federal Reserve rate cut, pressuring the dollar while pushing gold above the $3,600 per ounce mark. Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announced his resignation, triggering a short-lived yen rebound amid persistent safe-haven demand. The escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, marked by over 800 drone attacks on Ukraine, heightened geopolitical risks and boosted demand for safe-haven assets.
