Tito Iakopa, commercial director at FlowCommunity, said gold is trading within a narrow range, showing only slight gains as investors await key economic data releases this week.
“Geopolitical tensions, central bank demand, and fears of further economic deterioration in China, along with the upcoming US elections, may support gold prices. Additionally, traders are cautious ahead of the US labour market data release on Friday, which is anticipated to significantly influence market sentiment and expectations regarding the Federal Reserve's interest rate size this month.
"Current market speculation leans towards a 25 basis point rate cut rather than a more aggressive 50 basis point cut, which will be a crucial factor for gold's next move,” said Iakopa.
