Gold & Silver Prices Outlook:
"The latest JOLTS report revealed a decline in job openings to a 10-month low, highlighting continued labor market weakness. In response, traders almost fully priced in a 25 basis point rate cut, with the CME FedWatch Tool showing a 98% probability of easing at the upcoming policy meeting. Meanwhile, safe haven bids remain elevated as Trump is appealing to the Supreme Court to uphold his import tariffs, while Russia-Ukraine tensions run high," said Kaynat Chainwala, AVP Commodity Research, Kotak Securities.
Also, the analyst added, prices have since recovered to around $3,540/oz, ahead of key U.S. economic data releases, including private payrolls and weekly jobless claims. Most importantly, the official U.S. jobs report due Friday is expected to show a fourth straight month of subdued payroll growth. If the data come in weaker than anticipated, it may boost the case for deeper Fed rate cuts in the coming months.
Furthermore, Darshan Desai, CEO - Aspect Bullion & Refinery said, gold prices are witnessing some profit-taking at higher levels in global markets following a sharp rally, as investors await the crucial U.S. jobs report due on Friday. With markets pricing in a near 100% chance of a rate cut by the FOMC on September 17, gold is expected to find strong support at lower levels.
"On the domestic front, the decision to keep GST rates unchanged on gold and silver offers much-needed clarity for bullion and jewellery traders ahead of the key festive season. This also brings reassurance to potential buyers who may have been holding back in anticipation of further policy updates," Desai added.
