  + stars: | 2024-09-26 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Gold prices were steady on Thursday, hovering close to record highs, on expectations of another big U.S. rate cut this year, although gains were limited ahead of remarks by key Federal Reserve policymakers later in the day. Gold prices were steady on Thursday, hovering close to record highs, on expectations of another big U.S. rate cut this year, although gains were limited ahead of remarks by key Federal Reserve policymakers later in the day. Bullion has risen nearly 29% so far in 2024 and hit record highs several times this year, largely fueled by monetary policy easing by major global banks and geopolitical concerns. Last Wednesday, the Fed delivered a 50-basis-point rate cut, with traders seeing a 62% chance of an additional half-percentage-point reduction in November, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. Additionally, U.S. jobless claims data on Thursday and the core personal consumption expenditure index — the Fed's preferred inflation — on Friday, will be eyed for further rate cues.

Gold listless as investors await U.S. data for Fed policy guidance
  + stars: | 2023-09-12 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Gold prices settled into a holding pattern on Tuesday as investors awaited U.S. inflation figures that could provide an updated view on interest rates after the Federal Reserve kept the door open for further policy tightening. Spot gold was flat at $1,921.25 per ounce, as of 0510 GMT, while U.S. gold futures eased 0.2% to $1,944.30. Demand for non-interest-bearing gold could take a hit if the Fed further raises U.S. interest rates to quell inflation. Although, a sustained push higher in gold prices likely needs to be catalyzed by an eventual turn towards a Fed cutting cycle, they added. Elsewhere, spot silver rose 0.2% to $23.12 per ounce, platinum climbed 0.2% to $899.90 per ounce and palladium added 0.2% to $1,220.64 per ounce.

Gold prices edged lower on Tuesday as the U.S. dollar climbed, while investors looked forward to key economic data this week for signs on how long the interest rates could keep rising to quell sticky inflation. Spot gold was down 0.1% at $1,961.49 per ounce by 0343 GMT, while U.S. gold futures dropped 0.5% to $1,961.10 per ounce. Gold prices ended July 2.3% higher, the biggest monthly rise in four months on expectations that an end to the rate-hiking cycle by global central banks was nearing. This is why the central banks are sticking with the data-dependent mantra," said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade.

Gold listless as investors wait for Fed's June meeting minutes
  + stars: | 2023-07-04 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Bars of gold are seen at Krastsvetmet, one of the world's largest producers of precious metals, in Moscow, January 31, 2023. Spot gold was little changed at $1,921.39 per ounce by 0241 GMT, while U.S. gold futures were flat at $1,929.10. High interest rates discourage investment in non-yielding gold. Markets will also watch for minutes of the June 13 to14 FOMC meeting being released on Wednesday. While gold prices could recover to $1,940 before a potential drop lower, "the rates background remains a significant drag," Frappell added.

Gold rises as dollar weakens ahead of Fed decision
  + stars: | 2023-06-14 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Gold prices edged higher on Wednesday, helped by a softer dollar as slowing U.S. inflation cemented bets that the Federal Reserve would keep interest rates unchanged later in the day. Spot gold rose 0.3% to $1,948.49 per ounce by 05:00 GMT. Markets are pricing in a roughly 90% chance of the Fed keeping rates unchanged, according to CME's Fedwatch tool. While gold is seen as a hedge against inflation, higher rates to tame price pressures generally weigh on the non-yielding asset's appeal. Spot silver climbed 0.7% to $23.8439 per ounce, platinum rose 0.3% to $979.37, while palladium was flat at $1,361.01.
