XAU awaits Fed decision for fresh impetus

Diupdate
Gold (XAU/USD) struggled to stay above $2,400 and attracted some selling pressure during Monday’s trading session due to strong demand for the US dollar. Risk sentiment was also seen as a factor weighing on the safe-haven precious metal. However, geopolitical risks from ongoing conflicts in the Middle East provided some support for gold.

Meanwhile, growing expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will start cutting interest rates in September, reinforced by Friday’s US inflation report, limited the USD’s gains and helped limit the decline in gold. Moreover, traders opted to wait for the outcome of the two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting ending on Wednesday.

Investors will continue to monitor the Bank of Japan (BoJ) decision on Wednesday, the Bank of England (BoE) meeting on Thursday and key US macro releases, including the non-farm payrolls (NFP) report on Friday, this week. In addition, other economic data scheduled early in the new month will provide more information on the health of the global economy and determine the next direction for gold prices.
