Dubai Gold Faces 'Flight Suspension' Crisis, Air Transport Disruption Causes Significant Contango

6 hours ago

March 6 — Gold in Dubai is being sold off at steep discounts amid the Middle East conflict, which has caused flight cancellations and hampered suppliers’ ability to ship bars out of the key trading hub. Many buyers have halted new orders, unwilling to pay exorbitant shipping and insurance costs amid uncertainty over timely delivery. According to people familiar with the matter, traders are offering discounts of up to $30 per ounce **below** the London global benchmark to avoid indefinite storage and financing costs. Sources noted that while some gold shipments left Dubai by midweek, a large volume of cargo remained stranded as of Friday. The UAE—especially Dubai—is a key hub for refining and exporting gold bars to buyers across Asia, as well as a transit point for goods from Switzerland, the UK and several African nations. The U.S.-Israel conflict with Tehran entered its seventh day with no signs of a resolution, and the region’s airspace remains partially closed amid heavy missile strikes from Iran, (Jinshi)

Fed's Daly Responds to Nonfarm Payrolls Shock: Not Ignorable, But Also Not Overinterpreted

March 6 (Friday) — The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released its February nonfarm payrolls report on Friday, showing U.S. job losses last month. The data was hit hard by bitter cold weather and a strike at a major healthcare system. In an interview with CNBC, Federal Reserve official Daly said: “This suggests our expectations for a steady labor market may have been overly optimistic. We’re also facing inflation above our target and rising oil prices. We don’t know how long these will persist, but both of our goals are now at risk.” She added: “This report shouldn’t be ignored, but it’s just one monthly data point—no need to overinterpret it.” (FXStreet)

Hawk-Dove Balance Tipped, Fed's March Rate Decision Could Face Rate Cut Calls

March 6th: Natixis’ Christopher Hodge noted the latest non-farm payrolls report could hold particular sway for Fed Governor Christopher Waller. Earlier today, Waller said if February’s data is soft and January’s figures are revised down, questions would arise over why the Fed is holding pat instead of cutting rates. This would reinforce the Fed’s dovish camp view that recent encouraging labor data is just “fool’s gold” — referring to misleading economic data.

Non-Farm Payrolls Report Surprises to the Downside, U.S. Treasury Yields Drop in Response

March 6 Despite a recent jump in oil prices that could stoke inflation, a disappointing non-farm payroll report lifted market expectations for Fed rate cuts this year—driving a rally in U.S. Treasury prices. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell 3 basis points to 4.1%, while the more Fed-policy-sensitive 2-year yield dropped 5 basis points to 3.53%. Interest rate swaps indicate traders are now pricing in 44 basis points of total Fed rate cuts by December, up from 35 basis points before the report’s release. (FXStreet)
