Hawkish remarks by Federal Reserve officials reinforce expectations of tightening; gold prices retreat
BlockBeats news, September 23: Gold prices moved lower amid range-bound fluctuations as a stronger US dollar and hawkish remarks by Federal Reserve officials further reinforced market expectations of monetary-policy tightening. The US dollar rose to a 2-month high, making US dollar-denominated gold more expensive for investors holding other currencies.
Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank, said: “Gold continues to trade within the established narrow range of 4,300 to 4,400 US dollars. Remarks from Federal Reserve officials and their effects on US interest rates, bond yields, and the US dollar, along with oil-price movements, together provide the main direction for short-term traders.”
Richmond Fed President Barkin said on Tuesday that interest-rate hikes and the threat of further future hikes could curb businesses’ inflation expectations and cool price increases without materially weighing on economic activity. (Jin10)
