US Markets Rebound as Biden Drops Re-election Bid, Gold Price Drops Below US$2,400

US Markets Rebound as Biden Drops Re-election Bid, Gold Price Drops Below US$2,400

The American stock market rebounded on Monday (July 22) following significant downturns last week, and after Sunday’s (July 21) news that US President Joe Biden will not seek re-election.

Biden announced on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, that he is exiting the presidential race, and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement. He plans to complete his term as president.

By midday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) was up 0.36 percent, reaching 40,433.02 points. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) had increased by 0.86 percent to hit 5,552.57 points, and the Nasdaq Composite (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) had climbed 1.23 percent to come in at 17,944.98 points.

Major technology stocks led the recovery, with Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) all posting gains of between 1 and 4.2 percent.

The US dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major currencies, rose for the third session in a row. Analysts believe the dollar’s strength is partly due to anticipation of potential shifts in US fiscal and monetary policy.

Meanwhile, the gold price declined to a one week low as the dollar strengthened. Spot gold dropped by 0.5 percent to US$2,387.99 per ounce, while US gold futures decreased by 0.4 percent to US$2,389.40.

Investors are closely watching for additional US economic data and statements from Federal Reserve officials this week, which could provide further insight into the future direction of interest rates.

Jeffrey Christian, managing partner at CPM Group, told Reuters that the market is in ‘wait-and-see mode’ regarding the implications of the change in the Democratic Party’s candidate for the upcoming election.

“It is far too early for any strategic positions… longer-term is probably more favorable for gold if Trump is in the White House,’ StoneX analyst Rhona O’Connell opined in a note quoted by Reuters.

‘Trump would be inflationary and potentially incendiary in geopolitical terms, while Harris’ foreign affairs policy is as yet undefined so that favours gold for now, but not possibly in the longer term,” she added.

Key data releases this week include US gross domestic product figures for the second quarter, and the personal consumption expenditures price index, which is the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge.
