Gold backs and fills on Thursday after another big down-day on Wednesday as markets took their cue from a mixture of Fed speakers keeping reserved about cutting interest rates, and chart-based technical opportunism.
In regards to interest rates, of key importance will be the release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index for May on Friday, which is the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) preferred gauge of inflation. A lower-than-expected result could make the Fed more optimistic about cutting interest rates. The opposite would be the case if the PCE beats expectations.
Whilst the Fed sits on its hands, the market is a bit more optimistic seeing a relatively high probability (62%) of the Fed cutting interest rates at (or before) the Fed’s September meeting, although this is below the 66% seen on Wednesday. The estimates are according to the CME FedWatch tool, which calculates chances using Fed Funds futures prices.
