Gold may react to US economic data amidst Fed’s cautious stance
“COMEX Gold prices closely marginally higher at the start of the week, tracking a decline in the US benchmark 10-year treasury yields. The yellow metal is hovering near $1950 per troy ounce after the world’s top central bankers last week stressed the need to keep interest rates high until inflation is contained. With the Fed ‘proceeding carefully when deciding to hike again or hold steady,’ markets are expecting a September pause,” said Ravindra Rao, CMT, EPAT, VP – Head Commodity Research, Kotak Securities.
“It is going to be a data-heavy week in the US, with the release of the labour report, along with the PCE price index, personal income and spending data, JOLTS job openings, ISM Manufacturing PMI, and the second estimate of Q2 GDP growth. Any signs of economic strength might add wagers for further Fed hikes, weighing down on the yellow metal,” Ravindra Rao added.
