Gold fell to the $3,380 area on Thursday, retreating slightly from a two-week peak ahead of Friday's PCE release (August 29th, WIB), the Fed's inflation benchmark. Political uncertainty—including the controversy surrounding the attempted dismissal of Fed Chair Lisa Cook—kept safe-haven bids, but a rising dollar and stable real yields limited near-term upside.
On the policy front, market pricing, which now places an 89% chance of a 25 bps cut in September, has softened the forward rate curve, supporting gold's hold near record levels despite increased volatility.
