Gold prices remained under pressure on Tuesday following last weekend's sharp decline. Spot gold fell 0.3% to $4,437.10 per ounce, while US gold futures rose 0.1% to $4,485.30. Investors are assessing tensions in the Middle East and this week's US labor data releases.
This week's focus is on US job openings, ADP employment, and non-farm payrolls data; these will determine the Fed's interest rate roadmap. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh emphasized in his Jackson Hole speech that more work is needed for a sustained return of inflation to the 2% target. Analyst Tony Sycamore noted that Warsh's hawkish tone and tensions in the Strait of Hormuz pushed oil prices higher, stating that while a single rate hike may not greatly affect gold, a series of hikes would change the situation.
According to the CME FedWatch tool, markets see a 66% chance of a rate hike in September and 89% in December. High interest rates create pressure for non-yielding gold, while US President Trump's threat of new strikes on Iran and rising oil prices are fueling inflation concerns. In other precious metals, silver rose 0.3%, platinum 0.1%, while palladium was nearly unchanged.
