Kaynat Chainwala, AVP-Commodity Research, Kotak Securities said COMEX Gold prices edged lower from a one-month high as markets turn their attention to upcoming US inflation figures following a positive US jobs report. Last Friday, Gold reached $2401.5/oz after downward revisions in US Nonfarm payrolls for previous months and an unexpected rise in the unemployment rate increased the likelihood of a September Fed rate cut.
He further pointed out that currently, CME's FedWatch Tool shows that futures markets are pricing in a more than 70% chance of a 25 bps rate cut at the Fed's September meeting, up from 57.9% a week ago. Gold may trade within a range today as investors eagerly await more supportive data to bolster the case for a September rate cut. US CPI is expected to rise by 0.1% after remaining unchanged in May, while Core CPI is expected to hold steady at 0.2%. A larger-than-expected increase could lead investors to reassess the likelihood of a Fed rate cut, while a negative surprise could further strengthen market confidence.
