Gold Prices Dip Despite Growing Rate Cut Expectations

Gold prices experienced a slight decline in Asian trading on Monday, despite increased expectations for U.S. interest rate cuts. The precious metal remained within its June trading range, showing limited response to a weakening dollar. Traders are awaiting further economic cues and insights from the Federal Reserve, including a speech by Fed Chair Jerome Powell and the release of June meeting minutes. While the prospect of lower interest rates typically supports gold prices, the market’s reaction has been muted, reflecting ongoing uncertainty in the economic outlook.
