Gold Steady Ahead of Powell Speech
Friday, 22 August 2025 07:18 WIB | GOLD |GOLDEMAS

Gold is steady in the early Asian trade.

Market participants could remain cautious ahead of Fed Chair Powell's Jackson Hole address on Friday, says Fadi Al Kurdi, founder and CEO of FFA Kings in a commentary. "The uncertainty over whether he will signal a stronger commitment to supporting employment or reaffirm the fight against inflation could affect the market's direction," he adds. A more dovish stance could boost gold prices.

Spot gold is flat at $3,338.31/oz.
