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.

Gold flat as investors await U.S. data for rate cues

Gold bars and gold coins of different sizes lie in a safe on a table at the precious metal dealer Pro Aurum. Gold was flat on Thursday as investors awaited a raft of U.S. economic data that could influence the Federal Reserve's policy trajectory, after minutes of its June meeting reaffirmed expectations that interest rates could remain higher for longer. Spot gold held its ground at $1,917.46 per ounce by 0459 GMT, while U.S. gold futures fell 0.2% to $1,924.10. Therefore, a series of labor market data will be on watch, but much will still revolve around a continued moderation in wage pressures, he added. Rising U.S. interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion.
