Prathamesh Mallya, DVP Research, Non-Agro Commodities & Currency, Angel One, “Gold held steady near its one-month peak as anticipated US inflation and weaker job figures reinforced predictions of the Federal Reserve maintaining interest rates this year.”

He added that the US personal consumption expenditures price index saw a 0.2 per cent increase, mirroring June’s growth, while the index rose 3.3 per cent over the past year, compared to June’s 3.0 per cent uptick.

“Although US consumer spending gained momentum in July, US Treasury yields and the dollar index slightly rose after briefly paring gains post-data release, reducing the allure of non-yielding gold,” Mallya said.

According to the FedWatch tool, it indicated an 88.5 per cent probability of unchanged rates in September and a 51 per cent chance of a pause in November.

“Gold prices are expected to remain under pressure, as expectations that the US Fed will keep the interest rates at elevated levels,” he said.
