In precious metals, COMEX futures fell 1.7% on Wednesday as the dollar strengthened and a strong rebound in u.s. manufacturing raised hopes of a rapid recovery in the coronavirus-hit u.s. economy. Analysts pointed out that the main factor is the strength of the dollar, gold prices move in exactly the opposite direction to the dollar, and gold prices are also under pressure from good factory order data in the United States in July. Investors are watching the number of U.S. initial jobless claims released on Thursday and non-farm payrolls data released on Friday.

The dollar index extended gains on Wednesday as the euro fell from a key level of $1.20 hit the previous session, as a strong rebound in US manufacturing raised hopes of a rapid recovery of the coronavirus-hit US economy. Us factory orders rose more than expected in July, while US manufacturing data released on Tuesday showed that manufacturing activity accelerated to a nearly two-year high in August, fuelling optimism about a steady economic recovery. On the other hand, private employment growth in the United States in August was lower than expected, indicating a slowdown in the recovery of the labor market.

U. S. stocks closed higher on Wednesday. The Dow regained the 29000-point mark. For the first time in history, the Nasdaq stood at 12000 points, joining hands with the S & P 500 to reach an all-time high.

In terms of crude oil, NYMEX crude oil futures fell nearly 3% on Wednesday, reversing early gains as inventory reports showed a drop in gasoline demand in the United States last week. Weekly data released by the US Energy Information Administration ((EIA)) showed that gasoline demand fell last week from the previous week, outweighing the impact of positive crude oil inventory data, and oil prices fell after the inventory report was released.

In terms of data, the actual monthly rate of retail sales in Germany in July, the previous value is-1.60%, the expected 0.50%, published-0.9%.

Us August ADP employment (10,000), previous value 16.7, expected 95, released 42.8, revised 21.2 (previous value).

Vice President of ADP Employment data: the August recruitment message shows that the economic recovery is slowing. The growth of jobs is negligible, and the employment growth of all sizes and industries is not close to the level of employment before the epidemic.

Adam Button, an analyst at the financial and economic station Forexlive, commented on the US ADP employment data for August: the number of ADP employment in July was revised to 212000 from 167000, which is a reminder that last month's ADP report also showed a sharp decline, but did not appear in the official data. This may be due to seasonal changes around teachers and pandemics, but not this month. In addition, the number of initial jobless claims in the week of the non-farm survey was also high, so there may be more unease on Friday.

The monthly rate of factory orders in the United States in July, with a previous value of 6.20%, is expected to be 6%, and 6.4% is announced.

Fed Williams: the new framework will help the Fed achieve dual goals. The median forecast for neutral interest rates by the Federal Open Market Committee ((FOMC)) has fallen to 2.5 per cent from 4.25 per cent in January 2012.

Us EIA crude oil inventory (10,000 barrels) for the week to August 28th, previous value-468.9, expected-188.7, announced-936.2.

Domestic crude oil production fell 1.1 million b / d to 9.7 million b / d last week, while changes in US crude stocks fell for six consecutive weeks, the biggest drop since July 24, according to the EIA report. (EIA): of the US Energy Information Administration Gulf crude oil imports fell to a record low of 1.28 million barrels per day in the week to Aug. 28. Us crude oil output fell to its lowest level since January 2018 in the week to August 28. Us crude oil output fell the most on record in the week to August 28.

Financial bloggers zero-hedge EIA crude oil inventory data for the week of Aug. 28: oil prices fell sharply today on the back of reports that Russia used Novijok to poison Navarine and key OPEC allies also increased oil production last month. Domestic crude oil stocks plunged 9.36 million barrels as a result of the shutdown caused by Hurricane Laura, and stocks of gasoline and refined oil also fell as refineries were forced to close. Oil prices, which traded around $43 for nearly a week, fell sharply before the release of the data from the U.S. Department of Energy and rebounded after the data were released. "Let's see how long the rally lasts," said Bloomberg Oil Trading correspondent Catherine Ngai. "it's important to remember that a lot of data in today's data will be affected by Hurricane Laura."

Escondida No. 2 Union Rejects Wage Offer, Strike Vote Set for September 28–30
Sindicato N°2 de Supervisores y Staff, which represents more than 1,000 supervisors and employees at BHP’s Escondida copper mine in Chile, has urged members to reject the company’s final wage proposal and support strike action. Union president Alexis Barrera said the leadership unanimously rejected the offer, arguing that it failed to meet workers’ demands and required employees to perform multiple tasks. The proposal will be presented to union members this week, with voting scheduled for September 28–30. If members vote in favour of a strike, Escondida’s operations could face further labour-relations risks. The union’s current contract expires on September 30, 2026. It remains unclear whether a strike will take place or how long it could last, with the vote and further negotiations to be closely watched.

Eldorado's Skouries mine in Greece ships first copper-gold concentrate
Eldorado Gold's Skouries copper-gold project in northern Greece has produced its first copper-gold concentrate, moving the mine from construction into commissioning.

Designed to yield about 140,000 ounces of gold and 67 million pounds of copper a year, Skouries is scheduled to reach commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2026. As one of Europe's few large new copper-gold developments, the start-up adds regional refined-copper and gold-concentrate supply amid tight global copper markets.

Vedanta's KCM restarts Nchanga copper smelter after 106-day overhaul
Vedanta's Konkola Copper Mines has resumed operations at its Nchanga copper smelter in Chingola, Zambia, after more than three months of maintenance and rehabilitation, the company said on 21 September. Built at a cost of US$350 million and commissioned in 2010, Nchanga is one of Zambia's largest copper processors with annual capacity of 311,000 tonnes. The shutdown was initially scheduled for 60 days but extended to 106 days after detailed inspections found additional critical work; the refurbishment cost about US$40 million, the first major overhaul in eight years. The plant cast its first copper anode after restart. KCM produced 80,215 tonnes of copper in 2025, and Vedanta targets annual output of 300,000 tonnes by 2030. The restart supports Zambia's goal of lifting national copper production to 3 million tonnes by 2031 from 890,346 tonnes in 2025.
