-Meanwhile, the upbeat US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report released on Friday showed that the Federal Reserve (Fed) may delay interest rate cuts and force investors to reduce the size of expected interest rate cuts in 2024 to two from three. The outlook remains supportive of rising US Treasury yields, which underpins the US Dollar (USD) and should further contribute to curbing unprofitable Gold prices. Traders may also want to wait for further signals on the Fed's path to rate cuts before positioning for the next leg of a directional move. Therefore, the focus remains on US consumer inflation figures and the FOMC minutes on Wednesday.
