The Gold price (XAU/USD) trades with mild losses near the $2,500 psychological support on Monday. However, the downside of the precious metal might be limited amid rising expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will begin lowering borrowing costs in September. Lower interest rates are generally positive for Gold as it reduces the opportunity cost of holding the non-interest paying asset.
Furthermore, the escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the economic uncertainty are likely to boost the safe-haven demand, benefiting Gold price. On the other hand, the sluggish demand in the Chinese economy might undermine the yellow metal as China is the largest producer and consumer of gold worldwide. Later on Monday, the US July Durable Goods Orders are due. The highlights for this week will be the preliminary US Gross Domestic Product Annualized (GDP) for the second quarter and the Personal Consumption Expenditures-Price Index (PCE) for July, which will be released on Thursday and Friday, respectively.
