The ECB has almost promised to cut interest rates on June 6, so the discussion has turned to how fast the next move should be and what conditions must be met for further easing. "I think we will benefit from a prudent downward path for interest rates," Kazaks said. "It is much easier to make decisions when we have new outlooks and forecasts." "Given that inflation will fluctuate sideways for most of the year, you should not expect to take some kind of action at every meeting." Kazaks added that if economic development deviates significantly from the ECBs own expectations, then interest rates should be cut at the transition meeting, otherwise policymakers should postpone rate cuts.According to RIA Novosti: Russias Stavropol Airport has resumed normal operations.ECB board member Kazaks: Rate cuts should be gradual and it will be easiest to take action at the quarterly meetings when forecasts are published.

Forecast for the Gold Price: XAU/USD moves up above $1,850 as yields fall following FOMC minutes

In the late New York session, the gold price (XAU/USD) has attracted buying activity following a corrective move to approach the critical support of $1,850. After failing to sustain above $1,860.00, the precious metal declined; however, the corrective move is light and does not indicate a serious reversal.

 

After a decline in the U.S. Manufacturing PMI bolstered indications of further deceleration in the U.S. Consumer Price Index, market participants' demand for risk-perceived assets such as the S&P 500 increased (CPI). In response to a decrease in product demand, corporations may be compelled to reduce the price of factory items.

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) fell below the 104.00 level as yields on 10-year US Treasuries were subjected to intense pressure and plummeted to roughly 3.69 percent. Safe-haven assets are under pressure due to the anticipation of a further fall in inflationary pressures. After remaining aggressive throughout the entire year, Federal Reserve (Fed) head Jerome Powell changed to a slowing scenario in December regarding an interest rate hike. Undoubtedly, the inflation rate is still a significant distance from the 2% target; yet, the presence of factors that support a further deceleration in the price index weighs on safe-haven assets.
