World gold is fluctuating around 2,395 USD/oz. The world gold market will likely be more exciting this week after escaping the gloom for a long time. The price of this precious metal is expected to be affected by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's statement at his testimony before Congress, growth data for June, weekly unemployment claims, index reports US producer prices and preliminary survey results on consumer sentiment by the University of Michigan.
Currently, optimism is covering the gold market, as recent data shows cracks in the US economy, the US labor market is increasingly weakening and inflation is decreasing. All the data reinforces the possibility that the Fed will soon introduce monetary policy easing and lower interest rates, which should support the price of the precious metal gold.
