Gold Prices Rise on Weaker Dollar and Lower Fed Rate Hike Expectations
Gold prices rose modestly amid a weaker US dollar and reduced expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate hike in September. Recent US economic data, including softer retail sales and lower nonfarm payrolls, contributed to easing rate hike concerns. Investors also monitored geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which added uncertainty. Gold's gains were supported by increased central bank purchases and its appeal in a low-interest-rate environment, with markets awaiting the Fed's July meeting minutes for further guidance.
