On May 22, Federal Reserve Governor Jerome Waller stated on Friday that given the growing risks of inflation, the Fed should no longer consider further interest rate cuts as a default plan. This comes after Wallers support for rate cuts in January. In a speech, Waller said that with the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, rising costs of oil and other commodities are increasingly likely to trigger broader and more persistent inflation in the economy. He stated that it is time for the Fed to stop signaling that its next move is most likely another rate cut. Waller indicated that maintaining interest rates in the current range of 3.5% to 3.75% is likely the right approach for the foreseeable future. He added, "If inflation does not subside quickly, I cannot rule out the possibility of future rate hikes."Federal Reserve Governor Waller: No changes to policy rates should be expected in the near term; the outcome will heavily depend on the duration of the conflict in Iran.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD oscillates about $1,650 as DXY recovers recent losses

Gold price (XAU/USD) is indecisive while rebounding from intraday lows to $1,650 ahead of Tuesday's European session.

 

Nevertheless, the yellow metal attracted purchasers earlier in the day due to a weaker U.S. dollar, but the currency's recent resurgence looks to have weighed on the price recently. It should be mentioned that unfavorable concerns regarding China, one of the world's largest gold consumers, have recently posed a threat to the pricing of precious metals.

 

In the absence of Fed-speak, the US Dollar Index (DXY) gains bids to reclaim the 112.00 mark while trimming its first weekly loss in three weeks. It should be emphasized that the Fed's aggressive rhetoric and weak US PMIs also support the DXY's safe-haven appeal.

 

China's efforts to protect its struggling economy and worldwide pessimism regarding Xi Jinping's third term, not to mention Hang Seng's decline to a 13-year low, impose downward pressure on market mood and the XAU/USD exchange rate.

 

US 10-year Treasury rates continue under pressure around 4.21 percent, down two basis points (bps), while US stock futures and Asia-Pacific markets are moderately bid.

 

Moving forward, second-tier US Housing data and Consumer Confidence indicators may delight gold speculators before Thursday's third-quarter US Gross Domestic Product report (Q3).
