⚡️ Gold price (XAU/USD) drops vertically to near $1,915.00 as uncertainty over the interest rate outlook by the Federal Reserve (Fed) deepens. The upside in the precious metal remains restricted as Fed policymakers continue to maintain a hawkish stance for upcoming monetary policy meetings. Chicago Federal Reserve Bank President Austan Goolsbee said "It feels like rates will have to stay higher for longer than markets had expected,"
⚡️ The US Dollar has also demonstrated a volatility contraction plot, but the broader trend remains bullish due to the resilient US economy. Investors turn cautious about the US economic outlook as the Fed vowed to keep interest rates sufficiently restrictive over the longer term to get inflation under control. This could elevate the Unemployment Rate, slow labor demand, and make factory activities more vulnerable. This week investors will focus on US Durable Goods Orders data and the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge for August.
