In his budget statement released Wednesday, Reeves set new tax rates for commercial properties with a taxable value exceeding £500,000, a move aimed at filling a public finance gap. Major UK retailers, including Tesco and Sainsburys, had warned that the tax increase would exacerbate their operating burden under the dual pressures of food inflation and rising wages. However, the UK government emphasized that the overall tax burden on retailers would be reduced through lower tax rates for small and medium-sized stores and transitional support for large taxpayers. Reeves noted that "warehouses used by online retail giants" would be subject to higher tax rates, with the resulting revenue used to provide tax relief for over 750,000 retail, catering, and leisure establishments – echoing the governments promise to increase tax payments by companies like Amazon in the UK.

Gold Price Prediction: The XAU/USD pair will fall below $1870 as yields rise ahead of Fed Chair Powell's speech

In the Tokyo session, the gold price (XAU/USD) has fallen below the immediate resistance of $1,870.00. The precious metal has broken through the consolidation formed in the band of $1,870.00-1,881.50 as demand for US government bonds deteriorates ahead of the speech by Federal Reserve (Fed) chairman Jerome Powell on Tuesday.

 

The 10-year US Treasury yields have risen beyond 3.54 percent, dampening risk appetite. Meanwhile, S&P500 futures have become volatile following a sell-off late in Monday's session, signaling caution in establishing positions in risky assets. The US Dollar Index (DXY) is anticipated to attempt a break above the immediate resistance of 103.00 into the auction area.

 

Investors anticipate Fed Powell's speech for fresh cues, as it will provide a head start for the entirety of CY2023. Despite a sharp reduction in December wage inflation, some Fed policymakers continue to endorse a terminal rate prediction of 5.00-5.25%.

 

Mary Daly, president of the San Francisco Fed Bank, argued that interest rates between 5% and 5.25 percent are fair. Also, the president of the Atlanta Federal Reserve bank, Raphael Bostic, anticipates an interest rate peak in the range of 5% to 5.25 percent and the continuation of higher interest rates through CY2023.
