Commodities Daily - August 15, 2019

> Oil drops on recession fears amid mixed EIA data; US retail sales eyed. Today, investors will get a whole pile of US data, including industrial production, retail sales, jobless claims, Philadelphia and New York Fed surveys, and TIC flows. This data will likely prove key to global sentiment today. We believe the July retail sales numbers will be the main focus given the read-through for consumer spending (almost 70% of the US economy). We think that global markets will take a breather today after yesterday's abrupt selloff. We see likely strong US data pushing Bent above $60/bbl later in the day.> Gold trading above $1,510/oz this morning. German data yesterday fueled investor fears of a technical recession, which the 3Q19 data could show Germany having entered. The UK and US 2y10y yield curves were both inverted, which supported gold in the afternoon. Today, a slew of US data is due for release, and we expect gold to remain above $1,500/oz amid elevated demand for safe-haven assets.
