Market Influences on Gold Prices
Recently, US President Donald Trump has criticized Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for not reducing interest rates and is exploring candidates to potentially replace him. Powell has indicated that the Fed will likely wait until the impact of Trump’s tariffs on inflation is clearer before making any rate cuts.
There are predictions that the Fed will cut rates by at least 50 basis points by year-end, which could bring the US dollar to its lowest levels in over three years. This situation seems to be supporting gold prices for the second consecutive day, though there isn’t strong confidence in any major price increases.
Amid a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran, uncertainty remains regarding the damage to Iran’s uranium-related assets. Despite this, market optimism is somewhat tempered, leading to cautious trading around gold.
Looking ahead, traders are closely watching upcoming US economic data, including the final GDP print for Q1, jobless claims, and durable goods orders. Additionally, investors will pay attention to comments from Federal Open Market Committee members for insight into potential rate cuts that could impact the market.
Market focus will also shift to the upcoming US Personal Consumption and Expense (PCE) Price Index, set to be released on Friday. This key inflation data will likely influence the direction of the USD and, consequently, gold prices.
