Gold was steady in early Asian trade on the prospect of a Fed rate cut that would boost the appeal of the non-yielding precious metal. Fed Chair Powell told lawmakers on Tuesday that recent economic data would likely justify a rate cut if there were no concerns that higher tariffs could derail policymakers' efforts to combat inflation.
Two Fed officials, Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, have also recently indicated they could support a rate cut. "Gold prices are resilient on speculation about a U.S. rate cut," Thu Lan Nguyen, head of FX and Commodity Research at Commerzbank, said in a research note. Spot gold was little changed at $3,322.98/oz. (alg)
