Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD remains depressed near $1,665 amid sustained USD strength – by hareshmenghani Gold Commodities Fed InterestRate XAUUSD
Resurgent USD demand turns out to be a key factor exerting downward pressure.maintains its offered tone through the early North American session and is currently placed near the $1,665 region, just above the daily low. A stronger US dollar is seen weighing on the dollar-denominated commodity, which remains well within the striking distance of its lowest level since April 2020 touched on Friday.
Expectations that the Federal Reserve will stick to its aggressive rate-hike path to tame uncomfortably high inflation continue to underpin the greenback. A fall in the near-term inflation expectations for consumer prices in the US to a one-year low in September forced investors to scale back bets for a full 100 bps Fed rate hike move.
This, in turn, remains supportive of elevated US Treasury bond yields. This, along with the prospects for a faster interest rate hike by other major central banks, further contributes to driving flows away from the non-yielding yellow metal. That said, the prevalent risk-off environment, as depicted by a fresh leg down in the equity markets, offers some support to traditional safe-haven assets.
Investors also seem reluctant to place aggressive bets and prefer to move to the sidelines ahead of a flurry of central bank meetings this week. The Fed is scheduled to announce its decision on Wednesday, which will play a key role in influencing the near-term USD price dynamics. This will be followed by the Bank of Japan , the Swiss National Bank and the
on Thursday. This, in turn, should assist investors to determine the next leg of a directional move for gold.
