Next week, the Federal Reserve enters its customary blackout period ahead of the December meeting, with significant economic data releases expected to influence market dynamics. Following a data center outage at CME Group, gold and silver prices saw substantial gains, with gold rising nearly $150 to over $4200 and silver hitting a record high of $56. Key events include the final reading of the US S&P Global Manufacturing PMI on Monday, a speech by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell on Tuesday, and the US ADP employment figures on Wednesday. Thursday will see the release of US Challenger job cuts and initial jobless claims, while Friday will feature preliminary readings of the US inflation rate and consumer sentiment index. Recent dovish comments from Fed officials have increased the likelihood of a 25 basis point rate cut at the December 10 meeting to nearly 80%, significantly impacting market expectations.
