Gold set for 3rd weekly loss amid stronger dollar, reduced Fed rate cut hopes
BENGALURU: Gold prices held steady on Friday, but were poised for a third consecutive weekly loss pressured by a stronger dollar and diminished expectations for US rate cuts, while uncertainty from US tariffs on trading partners offered support. Spot gold was steady at $3,293.56 per ounce, as of 12:34 p.m. Saudi time. Bullion is down 1.4 percent so far this week. US gold futures edged down 0.1 percent to $3,344.60. The dollar index hit its highest level since May 29, making gold more expensive for other currency holders. 'Gold remains weighed by reduced bets for Fed rate cuts for the rest of 2025. This week's US GDP, weekly jobless claims, and PCE figures also shored up the Fed's reluctance to commit to a rate cut,' said Han Tan, chief market analyst at Fed held rates steady in the 4.25 percent to 4.5 percent range on Wednesday and dampened expectations for a September rate cut. US President Donald Trump slapped steep tariffs on exports from dozens of trading partners, including Canada, Brazil, India and Taiwan, pressing ahead with his plans to reorder the global economy ahead of a Friday trade deal deadline. 'The precious metal should, however, remain supported amid the still-uncertain impact from US tariffs on global economic growth,' Tan said. US inflation increased in June as tariffs on imports started raising the cost of some goods. Focus now shifts to US jobs data, due later on Friday, as investors assess the Federal Reserve's policy trajectory, with July job growth expected to have slowed and the unemployment rate projected to rise to 4.2 percent. Gold, often considered a safe-haven asset during economic uncertainties, tends to perform well in a low-interest-rate environment. Physical gold demand in key Asian markets improved slightly this week as a pullback in prices sparked buying interest, though volatility kept some buyers cautious. Spot silver fell 0.8 percent to $36.46 per ounce, platinum lost 1.7 percent at $1,268.45 and palladium was down 0.5 percent to $1,185.19. All three metals were headed for weekly losses.
