US Fed Powell’s speech on inflation, growth, and monetary policy eyed

“Gold price inched slightly higher awaiting further direction ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s widely expected rate hike and a possible end to its monetary tightening cycle. The Dollar and U.S. Treasury yields held near their two-week highs, hogeing above 101 and 3.8% marks respectively. Economic data from the US continue to remain mixed keeping the market participants on edge. U.S. consumer confidence increased to a two-year high in July, reported at 117 against the expectations of 111.8, however, the market remained fearful of a recession over the next year following high interest rates. Today, the U.S. Commerce Department is expected to report new home sales likely fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 725,000 units in June, from 763,000 units in the month before,” said Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst (Commodities), HDFC Securities.

“Market focus is also on a series of central bank meetings this week, starting from the Fed policy decision scheduled today, followed by the ECB on Thursday and the BOJ a day later. According to the CME Fed-Watch tool, the probability of July and September meeting continue to show a higher probability of a 25bps rate hike, however, it will be important to watch Governor Powell’s speech and his stance on inflation, growth, and further monetary policy tightening. This week U.S. GDP and US Core PCE also remain important to watch for,” Saumil Gandhi added.
