Fed to be the focus of the Gold market next week – Commerzbank
|The first Federal Reserve interest-rate cut in four and a half years will be the main focus for Gold traders next week, Commerzbank’s Commodity Analyst Barbara Lambrecht notes. Still, the fact that the rate cut has been mostly priced in could keep the price reaction muted, she said.
Fed rate cut on the horizon after another record high for Gold
“We expect a small rate cut. Since the market has already widely anticipated a reduction in interest rates, we do not expect significant price movements in the Gold market after the price rose to a record high.”
“Swiss Gold exports, to be published on Thursday, are likely to be very high again. This is because exports to India are expected to remain high as a result of the significant import tax cut at the end of July, while inflows into Gold ETFs suggest that Gold exports to the UK and US will also be high.”
