XAUUSD : Gold is still expected to increase in the near future

World gold price (XAU/USD) increased nearly 1.5% at one point last weekend, reaching a high of $2,378 before closing at $2,360. This is the second consecutive rising session since the previous sideway period.

This precious metal broke out strongly in the context of geopolitical tensions showing signs of escalating in Gaza when peace negotiations between Hamas and Israel in Cairo failed. Gold demand is also driven by concerns about the US labor market. Recent economic data has shown signs of weakness, fueling speculation that the Fed may lower interest rates sooner than expected, thereby stimulating demand for gold. Besides, globally, the general trend of central banks is shifting to reducing interest rates or at least, they are showing that they are ready to lower interest rates. The interest rate environment shows signs of peaking and starting to gradually decrease, which also creates a push for gold prices.

Centrally, the Fed's monetary policy is always adaptive to the situation and based on the latest data. Therefore, the timing of interest rate cuts may change depending on inflation developments, if inflation decreases or increases faster than expected. This week's CPI report will be in focus as this data point could have a significant impact on gold prices.

Mr. Jim Wyckoff, Senior Market Analyst at Kitco News, commented: "If this week's inflation data is high or even moderate, the likelihood of the Fed cutting interest rates as early as September will decrease. go significantly."
