Gold Inches Higher as Markets Await Powell's Testimony and Inflation Data Gold prices edged up slightly on Tuesday as investors await Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony to Congress and the upcoming U.S. June inflation data for insights into future interest rate decisions. The market is particularly sensitive to any unexpected dovish comments from Powell, which could push gold closer to $2,400 per ounce. However, persistent inflation could lead to a reversal of recent gains. Current market expectations, influenced by rising unemployment rates, suggest a high probability of a rate cut in September, with another expected by December. These factors continue to be the primary drivers of gold prices in the short term. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts ING Gold Monthly: The Bull Run Isn't Over Yet READ MORE Powell's Speech and Job Data in Focus as Dollar Climbs on Yield Surge READ MORE The 21st Century Gold Rush: A Barometer of Global Unease READ MORE Gold Hits New Peak: Why It's Just Getting Started READ MORE India's Gold Market: ETFs and Central Bank Buying Shine Amid Jewelry Slump READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
