Today’s markets analysis on
Gold remained within a range on Wednesday as it stabilized ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting today. Following this week’s interest rate increase by the Bank of Japan, market attention remained on the direction of monetary policy and its implications for bond yields, currencies and precious metals.
While the Federal Reserve is expected to maintain interest rates unchanged, the focus will be on new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh and his communication, as well as economic projections and the dot plot. The latter could influence monetary policy expectations, drive bond yields and influence the direction of gold prices.
More hawkish expectations could lead to higher Treasury yields and weigh on non-yielding assets such as gold. However, a more dovish tilt, in addition to lower oil-driven inflation risks amid progress between the US and Iran, could favor a rebound in the precious metal. Over the longer term, continued central bank purchases are expected to provide an important source of structural support for gold.
