Gold prices eased slightly yesterday after touching a new high earlier in the week, though the precious metal remained near those elevated levels, supported by shifting expectations for US interest rates.
According to commentary from Tickmill managing principal Joseph Dahrieh, the metal’s strong gains could be followed by a period of consolidation. However, Mr Dahrieh noted that a recent dovish shift in rate expectations, driven by softer labor indicators and declining producer prices, is likely to continue benefiting gold.
The Producer Price Index (PPI) for August unexpectedly fell 0.1 per cent in both headline and core readings, reinforcing the case for the Federal Reserve to ease its monetary policy. All attention now shifts to Thursday’s consumer price report, which could determine the metal’s next move.
Mr Dahrieh also highlighted that ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, continue to underpin demand for the safe-haven asset.
Bitcoin was stable above the $114,000 mark yesterday, consolidating recent gains driven by signs of easing inflation in the United States, according to commentary from Exness strategist consultant financial markets Inki Cho.
Bitcoin advanced after Wednesday’s news that the Producer Price Index (PPI) for August unexpectedly fell 0.1pc, its first decline in four months. This has reinforced market expectations for the Federal Reserve to ease its monetary policy.
Mr Cho said that strong investor interest, evidenced by US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracting $741 million on Wednesday, continues to act as a major tailwind. The consultant also pointed to growing corporate adoption, with POP Culture Group’s recent announcement of a strategic Bitcoin reserve and a purchase of 300 BTC.
Additionally, Cboe Global Markets confirmed it plans to launch “continuous futures” for Bitcoin in November, a move expected to deepen liquidity.
