Gold has been supported by shifting expectations for U.S. monetary policy, Vijay Valecha, CIO of Century Financial, said.
“Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller indicated that he would favor keeping interest rates unchanged if inflation continues to moderate. This has reduced expectations of an imminent rate hike, although markets still price roughly a 50 per cent chance of a Fed hike later this month,” he explained.
The analyst said that the NFP report is the main near-term catalyst for this, adding that a weaker-than-expected payrolls figure, could strengthen expectations for a Fed pause and provide further upside for gold.
“On the other hand, stronger labor market data could revive rate-hike expectations and trigger some profit-taking. With next week’s inflation data also in focus, volatility is likely to remain elevated,” Valecha added.
