Gold Prices Slip in Asia on Fed and ECB's Interest Rate Actions

In the early morning trade in Asia, gold prices experienced a decline following their higher close on Friday. The rise in prices on Friday was attributed to the U.S. data, which indicated a slowdown in price increases during June, thereby raising expectations that the Federal Reserve's tightening cycle might be nearing its conclusion. The recent interest-rate hikes by both the Fed and the ECB have exerted downward pressure on the precious metal's prices, as noted by Manish Jaradi, a strategist at DailyFX. However, he also mentioned that the tone of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde at their respective press conferences was more neutral, leading to increased expectations that interest rates might soon reach their peak. Since gold typically moves inversely to interest rates, these expectations could be influencing the current slight dip in spot gold prices, which are currently down by 0.1% at $1,956.77 per ounce.
