👉Gold prices held steady on Thursday as speculation grew that U.S. President Donald Trump might ease some tariffs, particularly those related to automobiles under the USMCA trade agreement. However, uncertainty persists, and XAU/USD remains largely unchanged at $2,919.
👉On the economic front, ADP data showed a significant slowdown in private-sector job growth for February compared to January. Meanwhile, the latest ISM Services PMI indicated continued business expansion. Despite this, concerns over rising inflation linger, as the Prices Paid sub-index surged above 60, signaling that producers are facing higher costs, which could lead to another wave of inflation.
👉As a result, money market traders adjusted their expectations for rate cuts in 2025, pricing in 71.5 basis points of easing, down from 81 bps on Tuesday.
