Impact of US Fed Rate Cut
The US Federal Reserve recently cut interest rates by 25 basis points, the second reduction this year, bringing the benchmark rate to a target range of 3.75% – 4.00%. Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that policymakers are still deliberating on the future of monetary policy and cautioned markets not to assume additional rate cuts by year-end.
“Gold prices held onto most of its recent losses and remained near a three-week low as traders reduced bets on further US rate cuts. With the market assigning less than a 70% chance of another cut this year, and investors closely monitoring US-China trade talks, demand for safe-haven assets has eased,” said Jigar Trivedi, Senior Research Analyst at Reliance Securities.
