Gold Under Pressure from Dollar, Awaits Powell's Signal
Friday, 22 August 2025 16:30 WIB | MARKET ANALYSIS |GOLDEMAS

Gold prices fell on Friday (August 22nd), driven by a strengthening US dollar, which makes gold more expensive for foreign buyers. Meanwhile, investors await Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium as a key indicator of the direction of future monetary policy. CME FedWatch indicates a 75% probability of an interest rate cut at the next Fed meeting, a key support for non-yielding assets like gold.
