Gold set for best week since April on dollar drop
  + stars: | 2023-07-14 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Gold bars and gold coins of different sizes lie in a safe on a table at the precious metal dealer Pro Aurum. Spot gold was little changed at $1,959.81 per ounce by 0504 GMT, and up 1.9% for the week. Making gold less expensive for overseas investors, the dollar index touched its lowest level since April 2022. However, if the Fed does indicate more rate increases, "that could provide some nervousness (among gold investors)" Simpson added. Spot silver fell 0.2% to $24.8091 per ounce, but was set for its biggest weekly gain since March.

Gold heads for fourth weekly loss on calls for more rate hikes
  + stars: | 2023-07-07 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Gold bars and gold coins of different sizes lie in a safe on a table at the precious metal dealer Pro Aurum. Gold prices on Friday were on track for a fourth consecutive weekly loss as recent U.S. jobs data and hawkish comments from Federal Reserve policymakers strengthened bets for higher-for-longer interest rates, weighing on non-yielding bullion. Spot gold was flat at $1,910.20 per ounce by 0240 GMT, but down 0.5% for the week. "A resilient and tight U.S. jobs market effectively strengthens the case for the Fed to keep pushing the benchmark interest rate higher. Right now, it's all about interest rates and a guessing game about where the terminal rate setting will land," said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade.

  + stars: | 2023-06-28 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Gold held near three-month lows on Wednesday after strong U.S. economic readings offset the bullion's traditional safe-haven status, while traders positioned for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech and more data for clues on rate hikes. Spot gold rose 0.1% to $1,915.45 per ounce by 0524 GMT, hovering close to its lowest level since March 16 at $1,910. Data on Tuesday indicating that the economy remained on solid footing could lead to more Fed rate hikes to bring down inflation. Powell will speak at a policy panel on Wednesday before the European Central Bank Forum on Central Banking in Sintra along with other central bank members. Spot silver rose 0.2% to $22.93 per ounce, platinum fell 0.9% to $916.83 while palladium dropped 1.1% to $1,281.48.

Gold dips but set for weekly rise on Fed rate pause hopes
  + stars: | 2023-06-09 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Gold prices dipped on Friday after climbing more than 1% in the previous session, although hopes of a likely pause on interest rate hikes by the U.S. central bank kept bullion on track for a weekly gain. Spot gold fell 0.2% to $1,963.41 per ounce by 05:15 GMT, but headed for a 0.8% weekly rise. Focus now shifts to the U.S. consumer inflation report for May, due on June 13, ahead of the Fed meeting, which will provide investors more clarity about the health of the world's largest economy. Markets are pricing in a 76% chance of the Fed standing pat next week, after having raised at every meeting since March 2022. Platinum rose 0.3% higher to $1,013.53 and was set to post a weekly gain after two weeks.

Gold set for biggest weekly gain since April on Fed pause hopes
  + stars: | 2023-06-02 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Gold bars and gold coins of different sizes lie in a safe on a table at the precious metal dealer Pro Aurum. Gold prices were set on Friday for their biggest weekly gain in nearly two months, as a softer dollar and hopes for a pause in the Federal Reserve's tightening campaign bolstered bullion's appeal. Bullion has gained 1.7% so far this week, heading for its best week since the week ended April 7. Gold, which does not yield any interest of its own, loses appeal when interest rates rise. A strong labor market print could see a bounce-back in the dollar, which would not help gold, Waterer added.

Gold holds ground amid U.S. debt-ceiling jitters
  + stars: | 2023-05-17 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Gold prices steadied on Wednesday, as investors fretted over prolonged U.S. debt-limit negotiations, with a firmer dollar keeping prices in check. Spot gold ticked up 0.1% to $1,991.35 per ounce by 0455 GMT. Rival safe-haven dollar, meanwhile, held firm on the day, making gold less appealing for overseas buyers. "Any inflation-fighting rhetoric from Fed officials between now and the June meeting would hinder the gold price," Waterer further said, adding, the prevailing dollar strength was capping gold's upside for the time being. Spot silver rose 0.1% to $23.76 per ounce after hitting a six weeks low in the previous session.

A one-kilogram gold bar sits at Gold Investments Ltd. bullion dealers in this arranged photograph in London, U.K., on Wednesday, July 29, 2020. Gold prices were listless on Monday, as cautious investors awaited a key U.S. inflation data due this week that could influence the Federal Reserve's monetary policy stance. Bullion prices fell more than 2% on Friday after stronger-than-expected U.S. payrolls data tempered expectations of interest rate cuts from the Fed. Gold would be among the "prime beneficiaries" if there are further signs of weakness in the U.S. economy, if the stars align for gold, prices could move to $2,100 sooner rather than later, Waterer said. On the physical front, China held 66.76 million fine troy ounces of gold at the end of April, up from 66.50 million ounces at end-March.
