Gold Edges Higher Amid U.S. Fiscal-Deficit Concerns
Friday, 4 July 2025 07:35 WIB | GOLD |GOLDEMAS

Gold edges higher in the early Asian session amid U.S. fiscal-deficit concerns that typically enhance the safe-haven appeal of the precious metal.

The House of Representatives narrowly passed President Trump's "big, beautiful" tax and spending megabill on Thursday. "After factoring in the additional revenues from new tariffs, it appears that the budget deficit will remain close to 6% of GDP for the next few years," Capital Economics' Paul Ashworth says in a commentary. "The Federal debt is undoubtedly on an unsustainable path," the chief North America economist adds.

Spot gold is 0.2% higher at $3,330.85/oz.
