GOLD → Rather superficial reaction to the Fed Chairman's speech

This morning, the price of gold decreased due to a speech by Jerome Powell, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve (Fed), at the annual banking conference. Powell announced that the Fed will continue its tight monetary policy until inflation reaches 2%. This is understandable as the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) has increased from 3% in June to 3.2% in July.

Despite stable employment market conditions, this justifies the Fed's decision to tighten monetary policy. It is expected that during the November meeting, the Fed will raise the basic USD interest rate by 0.25% to continue combating inflation. This information has led to a strong increase in USD and a decrease in gold prices on the international payment basket.

Revised Q2 GDP will also be released, along with the PCE and ISM manufacturing, which should help investors confirm what the Fed-driven interest rate trajectory will look like, as the agency tries to balance by inflation and growth risks.
