Gold Edges Higher as Markets Price in 93% Chance of September Fed Rate Cut

Gold prices are showing modest gains on Monday as the market tests resistance near recent highs. Traders are closely monitoring U.S. Treasury yields and dollar movements while anticipating comments from Federal Reserve officials and key economic data releases. The CME Fedwatch Tool indicates a high 93% probability of a Fed rate cut in September, which could potentially boost gold’s appeal as a non-yielding asset. Additionally, China’s recent economic slowdown in Q2 has fueled expectations for stimulus measures, which could impact gold demand from this major metals consumer. These factors, combined with mixed U.S. Treasury yields reflecting economic uncertainty, are creating a complex environment for gold prices.
