Gold Prices Rise Amid Eased Fed Rate Hike Expectations and Softer Oil Prices
Gold prices edged higher early this week as investors reassessed the likelihood of a Federal Reserve interest rate hike in October, following dovish remarks by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. Softer crude oil prices eased inflation concerns, supporting bullion, while US Treasury yields remained influential. Traders now largely expect rates to hold in October, with a possible hike in December. Silver and other precious metals also gained amid cautious market sentiment influenced by geopolitical tensions and upcoming economic data.
