Gold Recovers After Monday’s Sharp Decline

Spot gold gained 0.6% to 4,023.77 US dollars per ounce after briefly falling to 3,983.29 US dollars, its weakest level since 1 July. US gold futures for August delivery also advanced 0.6%, reaching 4,030.30 US dollars per ounce.

The rebound follows Monday’s sharp sell-off, when gold dropped nearly 3%, marking its biggest single-day decline in more than a month.

US-Iran Tensions Continue to Influence Markets

The ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran has pushed crude oil prices to a one-month high, increasing concerns about inflation. Higher energy prices could add pressure to consumer prices, strengthening expectations that the Federal Reserve may keep monetary policy tighter for longer.

Although gold is traditionally viewed as a hedge against inflation, higher interest rates generally reduce its appeal because the precious metal does not generate interest income.

Markets Await Key US Economic Data

Investor attention is now focused on several important US economic events scheduled this week.

The June Consumer Price Index (CPI) report will be closely watched for clues about inflation trends. The market is also awaiting the Producer Price Index (PPI) report and Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s first semi-annual testimony before Congress, both of which could influence expectations for future monetary policy.

Fed Rate Hike Expectations Increase

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller stated that policymakers may need to raise interest rates in the near term if inflation continues to remain well above the central bank’s 2% target.

Following these comments, traders increased their expectations of a September rate hike. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the probability of a rate increase has climbed to approximately 76%, compared with 57% just one week earlier.

Other Precious Metals Show Mixed Performance

Performance across the broader precious metals market remained mixed.

• Silver rose 0.6% to 57.99 US dollars per ounce after touching a two-week low earlier in the session.
• Platinum slipped 0.3% to 1,600.24 US dollars per ounce.
• Palladium gained 1.9%, reaching 1,269.98 US dollars per ounce.
