Gold dips despite dovish expectations for the upcoming Fed interest rate decision
Wednesday, 29 January 2025 22:51 WIB | GOLD |GOLD

Gold's price (XAU/USD) is starting to turn a bit lower on Wednesday in the US trading session after a very whipsaw start to the week. No big moves are expected until later this this Wednesday, as several traders sit on their hands until the Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate decision later in the day. Lower US rates are often seen as beneficial for Gold to trade higher.

Market expectations show the Fed will likely keep interest rates unchanged in the range of 4.25%-4.50%, so traders will rather focus on Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's comments on the central bank's policy outlook. And here, traders might be in for a huge disappointment. Powell is not expected to comment on President Donald Trump's criticism of the Fed or why or how Trump calls for lower rates. Instead, Powell is expected to repeat that the central bank remains independent and data-dependent and will focus on its dual mandate: inflation and the jobs market.
According to Bloomberg, the market expectation is for Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to deliver a dovish pause. This should see US yields tilt lower, which opens the opportunity for Gold to surge higher and print a possible fresh all-time high.

Australian hedge funds are clamouring for Gold exposure during the second term of US President Donald Trump. They are betting that his administration will fail to arrest the US economy's spiralling debt and that Gold will act as an antidote to the bond market's carnage, Financial Review reports.
At 19:00 GMT, the Fed will deliver its monetary policy decision, followed by a press conference from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell at 19:30 GMT.
For now, the CME Fed Futures tool see the biggest odds for a 25 basis point rate cut for June, while May's odds have lost their lead over another rate pause.(Cay) Newsmaker23
