The European economic docket will feature inflation and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data for Spain, Italy and Germany, as well as GDP figures for the Eurozone. Later in the day, ADP Employment Change data from the US will be watched closely and the US Bureau of Economic Analysis will publish the first estimate of the annualized GDP growth for the third quarter.
After edging higher during the European trading hours on Tuesday, the US Dollar (USD) Index lost its traction on disappointing JOLTS Job Openings data for September and closed the day virtually unchanged. Early Wednesday, the index continues to move sideways above 104.00. Meanwhile, US stock index futures trade marginally higher following the mixed action seen in Wall Street on Tuesday. The US GDP report will also include quarterly Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index readings.

GDP FAQs
A country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the rate of growth of its economy over a given period of time, usually a quarter. The most reliable figures are those that compare GDP to the previous quarter e.g Q2 of 2023 vs Q1 of 2023, or to the same period in the previous year, e.g Q2 of 2023 vs Q2 of 2022. Annualized quarterly GDP figures extrapolate the growth rate of the quarter as if it were constant for the rest of the year. These can be misleading, however, if temporary shocks impact growth in one quarter but are unlikely to last all year – such as happened in the first quarter of 2020 at the outbreak of the covid pandemic, when growth plummeted.
A higher GDP result is generally positive for a nation’s currency as it reflects a growing economy, which is more likely to produce goods and services that can be exported, as well as attracting higher foreign investment. By the same token, when GDP falls it is usually negative for the currency. When an economy grows people tend to spend more, which leads to inflation. The country’s central bank then has to put up interest rates to combat the inflation with the side effect of attracting more capital inflows from global investors, thus helping the local currency appreciate.
When an economy grows and GDP is rising, people tend to spend more which leads to inflation. The country’s central bank then has to put up interest rates to combat the inflation. Higher interest rates are negative for Gold because they increase the opportunity-cost of holding Gold versus placing the money in a cash deposit account. Therefore, a higher GDP growth rate is usually a bearish factor for Gold price.
