◾ Asil Al-Arnaqi, head of the financial markets analyst department at CG Invest, says, "Kevin Wersch's statements reflect a clear confidence in the resilience of the American economy, especially with growth expectations exceeding 3% during the third quarter, in addition to an improvement in job growth and the strength of commercial investments." ◾ She adds, "These indicators may give the Fed more room to maintain high interest rates for a longer period, if inflation continues to show levels that do not allow monetary relief." ◾ According to Al-Aranki, "the dollar may benefit from the continued strength of the US economy and the decrease in interest rates, while gold remains under pressure in the short term, especially if US bond yields rise." The financial markets analyst believes that "the direction of the market will remain dependent on the extent to which these indicators reflect the Fed's upcoming decisions, especially in December."
