Gold prices ended the week higher after a series of US economic data were released. The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index increased 0.2% in July 2023, the same as the increase in June. In the 12 months to July 2023, the PCE price index increased 3.3%, after increasing 3% in June.
US job growth accelerated in August, but the unemployment rate hit 3.8%, according to the US Department of Labor.
Dismal US economic data released last week suggested the US Federal Reserve (Fed) may not raise interest rates at its meeting this month.
The dollar and U.S. government bond yields also came under pressure following the data, supporting gold prices. The dollar index fell about 1% and U.S. bond yields fell about 3% for the week.
Gold Price Forecast
The probability of the Fed keeping rates unchanged in September has risen to 93% from 89%, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Bad news for the economy is good news for gold, said Ricardo Evangelista, senior analyst at ActivTrades.
The latest Kitco News weekly gold survey shows that more than two-thirds of retail investors expect gold prices to rise.
Daniel Pavilonis, senior commodities broker at RJO Futures, said he sees gold prices rising in the short term, then falling.
