Gold prices around key level of $1,900 on expectations of less aggressive rate hike possibility
“Gold prices hover around the key level of $1,900 as expectations of less aggressive Federal Reserve rate hikes after the collapse of two big U.S. regional banks lifted non-yielding bullion’s appeal. Gold prices jumped more than 2%; while silver prices jumped by more than 5%, despite efforts by U.S. officials to limit the fallout from the now-shuttered Silicon Valley Bank and restore investor confidence in the banking system. After Governor Powell’s hawkish statements last week’s market participants were pricing a 50 bps rate hike, however after weak U.S. unemployment rate and average hourly earning data the expectations have shifted to 25 bps. In fact, according to the CME Fedwatch tool, there is also a probability of no rate hike being discounted by the market.
“Amidst these factors, we saw a sharp fall in Dollar Index and U.S. Yields, which supported a move in gold and silver prices. Investors now shift their focus towards U.S. CPI data scheduled later today, which could provide further clarity regarding Fed further stance. If the data is reported lower than expectations we could witness further support in gold and silver prices. Broader trend on COMEX could be in the range of $1890-1920 and on domestic front prices could hover in the range of Rs 57,200-57,750,” said Manav Modi, MOFSL.
