Gold's weekly return remained more stable, with a 0.70 per cent fall on Monday, while silver faced pressure, dropping 6.33 per cent, said financial analyst and chief investment officer at Century Financial, Vijay Valecha,
After the US Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh's comments at the IMF annual meeting in Bangkok, gold rose back above $4,180, as traders pulled back on their expectations of rate hikes.
“(Kevin) Warsh didn't say a word about the outcome of the FOMC meeting this month and as a result, the probability of a hike in October has now dropped to 12.7 per cent from 21 per cent a week ago,” he said.
Valecha explained that it was negative for US Treasuries across the curve and has contributed to recent weakness in the US dollar and support for non-yielding bullion. Moreover, oil prices have also retreated from their monthly highs as US President Trump has waived sanctions and tariffs on Russian energy to keep Moscow at the table in the Ukraine talks, he added.
“That has eased inflation fears and expectations of Fed tightening. Gold also picked up safe-haven demand as concerns over AI investments drove a selloff in equities and a fall in bond yields,” he said.
