XAU prices saw a sharp sell-off following the release of positive US macroeconomic data, plunging to a more than two-week low on Thursday. The preliminary estimate of the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) showed the US economy growing at a faster-than-expected pace and inflation falling in the second quarter of 2024. This suggests that the US economy is still holding up well and has created some stability in financial markets, thereby putting pressure on the precious metal - a traditional safe-haven asset.
The bullish sentiment continued to keep gold prices on the defensive in the Asian session on Friday, although expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) is about to start its rate-cutting cycle helped limit losses. Traders also turned cautious and awaited the release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index later Friday. This key inflation data will play a key role in determining the Fed's policy path.
