Kaynat Chainwala, AVP-Commodity Research, Kotak Securities said, "Comex Gold has slipped 0.3% and is currently trading near $2415/oz, following an assassination attempt on Donald Trump that has raised prospects of his winning the US presidential election. Last week, Comex Gold prices surpassed $2400/oz and surged to $2430/oz as signs of weakness in the labour market and ongoing disinflationary trends bolstered expectations that the Fed might soon pivot to rate cuts. This move sent 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields to their lowest levels since March."
He added, "Currently, markets are anticipating US retail sales figures for June, which Bloomberg forecasts to decline by 0.3% month-over-month, indicating another month of sluggish spending. If the data meets expectations, it could support gold prices, as markets are already nearly certain of a September rate cut. However, a negative surprise may cause traders to trim their expectations for rate cuts."
