GOLDEN INFORMATION: The recent optimistic US GDP report, which was released on Thursday, indicates a remarkably robust economy and leaves room for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to potentially implement another 25 bps rate-hike in either September or November. It is important to remember that Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated last week that the economy still needs to slow down and the labor market needs to weaken in order for inflation to genuinely return to its 2% target. Consequently, this supports the idea of high US Treasury bond yields, which helps counterbalance indications of cooling inflationary pressures in the United States and contributes towards keeping the US Dollar (USD) stable below its almost three-week peak levels reached on Friday. A stronger USD typically exerts downward pressure on commodities denominated in USD, which combined with other major central banks adopting a more hawkish stance puts additional strain on gold prices.
Personal comments NOVA: The dollar's signs of recovery were the main reason for gold's drop last week. Gold's downtrend will continue this week
