Gold Futures Rise on U.S. Interest Rate Cut Optimism -- Market Talk
Wednesday, 13 August 2025 20:04 WIB | GOLD |GOLD

Gold futures rise on heightened expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut. Futures are up 0.4% at $3,412.90 a troy ounce. Optimism for a rate cut in September is rising on benign consumer price index data and a weak nonfarm payroll print, Tradu.com's Nikos Tzabouras says in a note.

This is weighing on the U.S. dollar, which competes with gold's safe-haven characteristics, and makes bullion's non-interest bearing nature more appealing, Tzabouras writes.

Still, trade concerns have eased after the extension of the U.S.-China tariff truce and geopolitical tensions have cooled ahead of a summit between President Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin. This limits gold's gains on safe-haven appeal, Tzabouras adds.
