Gold prices slipped to their lowest level in nearly two weeks on Wednesday, extending declines to a fourth straight session as markets priced in smaller rate-cut bets for the US Federal Reserve’s policy meeting this month.

Spot gold dropped 0.2 per cent to $2,486.99 per ounce as of 9:42 a.m. ET (1342 GMT). US gold futures fell 0.2 per cent to $2,518.30.

“The pressure has largely been associated with an expectation that the Fed’s going to only cut by 25 basis points in September,” said Peter A. Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals, adding “the prospects for a larger 50 basis point rate cut has eroded.”

Market Expectations and Influences

Traders are confident that the US Fed will cut rates this month and are pricing in a 59 per cent chance of a 25-basis-point cut, according to CME FedWatch tool.

This week’s US economic data, including the ADP employment and jobless claims reports on Thursday and the non-farm payrolls report on Friday, will be closely scanned for cues on the Fed’s rate-cut path.

Bullion was also pressured to cover margin calls related to equities’ weakness, said StoneX analyst Rhona O’Connell.

Shares fell globally on Wednesday as tech stocks declined, hit by a record sell-off for US chipmaker Nvidia and as expectations of fading global growth bruised riskier assets.

Price Trends and Analysis

“I still think the trend is up in the precious metals and these losses are corrective,” Grant said.

The non-yielding asset has gained over 20 per cent so far this year, hitting an all-time high of $2,531.60 on Aug. 20.

“We see ascending major oblique resistance at $2,510 per ounce and major horizontal resistance at $2,513. The initial breakout target of $2,543 remains,” Mike Ingram, market analyst at Kinesis Money, said in a note.

Spot silver rose 0.3 per cent to $28.12 per ounce.

Platinum gained 0.3 per cent to $905.82 and palladium dipped 0.4 per cent to $934.25.

Additional Insight:

It is important for investors to closely monitor the signals provided by economic data releases and central bank policies when making decisions about gold investments. The interconnected nature of global financial markets means that factors like US rate cuts, equity market performance, and geopolitical events can all influence the price of precious metals.

Diversification is key for investors looking to mitigate risk in their portfolios, and assets like gold, silver, platinum, and palladium can serve as valuable hedges against market volatility. By carefully analyzing trends and staying informed about market dynamics, investors can make more informed decisions about their precious metals holdings.

While short-term price fluctuations may occur due to various factors, the long-term outlook for gold remains positive, with experts projecting continued growth potential for the precious metal. This underscores the importance of having a well-rounded investment strategy that includes exposure to different asset classes, including precious metals.
