Gold Market—Fed Rate Cut Hopes and Middle East Tensions
- Last week, gold prices edged higher, closing at $2,660, up just 0.13%. The ongoing conflict, particularly Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah, boosted safe-haven demand for gold, though the strength of the U.S. dollar limited significant gains.
- Early in the week, strong nonfarm payroll data sparked concerns that the Fed might hold off on cutting interest rates, causing a dip in gold prices. However, inflation data released later in the week, which showed the slowest annual rise in over three years, shifted sentiment back towards expectations of a Fed rate cut in November. This helped gold recover as lower interest rates generally support non-yielding assets like gold.
- Despite the dollar remaining strong and U.S. Treasury yields staying elevated, inflation data softening by week’s end offered some relief for gold. By Friday, a stronger case for monetary easing, bolstered by the Producer Price Index (PPI) report, pushed gold prices higher.
- Looking ahead, gold is expected to trade within a narrow range, with key support around $2,604.39 and resistance near $2,685.64. Geopolitical tensions, especially in the Middle East, will continue to support safe-haven demand, but much will depend on upcoming U.S. economic data and any further escalation in the conflict. If the Federal Reserve confirms a rate cut at its November meeting, it could push gold prices higher, as lower interest rates typically benefit non-yielding assets like gold. However, the strength of the U.S. dollar and persistent inflation concerns may limit significant upward movement.
