Gold price rises as more traders anticipate a rate cut and watch for the Federal Reserve’s next actions

Gold prices experienced a nearly 1% rally on Monday, driven by growing optimism that the US Federal Reserve might initiate interest rate cuts sooner than expected. This surge followed the release of the Nonfarm Payrolls report last Friday, which indicated a slowdown in job creation in the US, raising expectations for a rate cut in September. Comments from Fed officials, including Thomas Barkin and John Williams, further emphasized concerns over inflation and employment trends.

The XAU/USD pair traded around $2,320 after bouncing back from daily lows of $2,291. The latest employment data in the US have increased the likelihood of a quarter percentage point rate cut by the Fed in September. Market participants are closely monitoring subsequent economic reports, with speculations that weaker-than-expected inflation data could prompt the US central bank to lower interest rates later in the year.

Recent commentary by Fed officials has reinforced expectations of a rate cut, with Thomas Barkin stating that there is no evidence of inflationary pressures, and John Williams acknowledging a moderation in the job market. The Fed is closely examining economic data, with the possibility of future rate cuts looming on the horizon.

Gold prices have been supported by lower US Treasury yields and a weaker US Dollar. The US 10-year Treasury note yields have fallen, while the US Dollar Index (DXY) edged slightly lower. Economic data including the NFP report and ISM PMIs points towards potential weakness in the US Dollar, benefiting gold prices. The recent conflict between Israel and Hamas has also contributed to the upward momentum in gold prices.

Technical analysis indicates a bullish trend in gold prices, with the RSI above the 50 midline. For further upside potential, gold prices need to breach key resistance levels and reclaim recent highs. However, a pullback below $2,300 could lead to a correction towards lower support levels.

The Federal Reserve plays a critical role in shaping US monetary policy through interest rate adjustments. With a dual mandate of achieving price stability and full employment, the Fed uses interest rate changes to control inflation and stimulate economic growth. Through its policy meetings, the Fed assesses economic conditions and makes monetary decisions to achieve its mandates.

In extreme circumstances, the Federal Reserve may employ unconventional measures like Quantitative Easing (QE) to increase liquidity in the financial system. QE involves the Fed purchasing bonds to inject more money into the economy during crises or low inflation periods. Conversely, Quantitative Tightening (QT) is the opposite process where the Fed reduces its bond holdings to tighten monetary conditions. These policies have implications for the US Dollar and overall economic stability.
