ACT: Gold Rises as Markets Eye Durable Goods, Ukraine Crisis
 
Gold has risen on Tuesday, as the spot price stands at $1286.54 per ounce in the European session. In the US, there are two key releases, Core Durable Goods Orders and CB Consumer Confidence. Both indicators are expected to soften in July. The Ukraine crisis has heated up, as fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian militants has intensified.

In eastern Ukraine, the fighting continues. On Tuesday, Ukraine announced the capture of 10 Russian soldiers who had crossed into Ukrainian territory. Meanwhile, pro-Russian separatists paraded captured Ukrainian soldiers and continue to attack government positions. These events have overshadowed a scheduled meeting on Tuesday between the Ukrainian and Russian presidents in Minsk, Russia. The crisis has plunged relations between Russia and the West to their lowest levels since the Cold War. Europe and the US have imposed sanctions and Moscow has been quick to retaliate. The impasse could hurt countries such as Germany, which have strong trade ties with Russia.

In the US, recent numbers have been solid, and the markets are hoping for more good news on Tuesday. Core Durable Goods Orders is expected to dip to 0.5% in July. The estimate for Durable Goods Orders stands at 7.4%, and some analysts are predicting a much higher gain in July. The reason? A huge increase in the purchase of passenger planes in July. Traders should be prepared for some short-term volatility in this indicator, which could have a positive but brief impact on the US dollar. Consumer confidence is at high levels, and CB Consumer Confidence is expected to post another strong reading.

Financial leaders and central bankers met at Jackson Hole for a conference, and the markets were all ears as Fed chair Janet Yellen delivered the keynote address on Friday. Any hopes for some dramatic news were dashed, however, as Yellen did not provide any clues as to the timing of a rate hike. She reiterated that the US job market still needed to improve, so employment numbers remain a crucial factor in any rate move by the Fed. There is a divergence in monetary stance between the ECB and the Fed, as the Fed is winding up QE, while the ECB may be forced to provide stimulus to the sagging Eurozone economy.
