Vijay Valecha, chief investment officer, Century Financial, said gold prices experienced a dip due to robust NonFarm Payrolls (NFP) data in the US last week.
“On Friday, Strong US labour market data tempered expectations for aggressive policy easing by the Federal Reserve, which would’ve been positive for the yellow metal. The US economy added an impressive 254,000 jobs in September, far exceeding the forecast of 170,000, while the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 4.1 per cent, highlighting the strength of the labour market,” said Valecha.
The CME Group’s FedWatch Tool indicates a 93.1 per cent probability that the Fed will implement a 25-basis point rate cut at its next meeting.
“Investors are eagerly anticipating the release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data on Thursday. Any indications of persistent inflation could create opportunities for gold, as a prolonged higher interest rate environment may lead to renewed interest in gold,” he said.
