“This move clears the way for Kamala Harris to challenge Donald Trump, prompting investors to view bullion as a hedge against an uncertain political and market outlook. The prospect of rate cuts and ongoing political uncertainty in the United States are providing support for gold prices, setting up conditions for a potential rebound in the coming day,” he said.
“This week, the gold market could face further volatility as investors anticipate several important economic indicators, including the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) figure on Friday, July flash PMIs, advance second-quarter GDP, and weekly jobless claims. Additional support for gold may also come from the slowing Chinese economy, as evidenced by the People’s Bank of China’s (PBOC) interest rate cuts,” added Khoury.
The situation in the Middle East, according to Khoury, also supports gold price appreciation, as ongoing geopolitical tensions, including recent escalations, raise the risk of a broader conflict.
