Gold hits near three-week low on stronger dollar, Fed symposium in focus
LONDON: Gold prices inched lower on Wednesday to their lowest level in nearly three weeks as the dollar strengthened, while investors awaited the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole symposium later this week for clues on the path for monetary policy. FUNDAMENTALS Spot gold was down 0.1 per cent at US$3,312.79 per ounce, as of 0035 GMT, after reaching its lowest level since August 1. US gold futures for December delivery fell 0.1 per cent to US$3,355.20. The US dollar index climbed to its highest level in more than a week, making gold less affordable for buyers using other currencies. Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole symposium through August 21–23 is the main focus, with investors watching for any pushback against market pricing of a rate cut next month. Minutes of the Fed's July meeting, due later in the day, are anticipated to offer further insights into the central bank's policy stance. Interest rate futures point to two rate cuts of 25 basis points each this year, with the first one expected in September. Gold typically performs well in a low-interest-rate environment and amid heightened uncertainties. US President Donald Trump ruled out deploying ground troops to Ukraine on Tuesday but suggested air support could be part of a deal to end Russia's war in the region. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy hailed the White House talks as a "major step forward" towards ending Europe's deadliest conflict in 80 years and setting up a trilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump. Elsewhere, spot silver held steady at US$37.35 per ounce, platinum gained 0.3 per cent to US$1,309.35 and palladium was down 0.4 per cent to US$1,110.50.

Dollar grinds higher with Fed in focus in run-up to Jackson Hole
TOKYO: The dollar got off on the front foot on Wednesday following two days of gains as traders awaited the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole annual symposium later this week for clues on the path for monetary policy. A speech on Friday by Fed Chair Jerome Powell is the main focus, with the market watching for any push back against market pricing of a rate reduction next month. Traders currently place 84 per cent odds on a cut next month, and expect around 54 basis points of reductions by year-end. The dollar index, which measures the currency against six major counterparts, edged up to 98.393 early on Wednesday, the highest since August 12. It had gained about 0.4 per cent in the first two days of this week. "Given the relatively high bar for Powell to meet, there's a bit of risk being baked into the markets that he leans to the hawkish side and the proverbial rug gets pulled from beneath investors," said Kyle Rodda, an analyst at In Asian hours, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand sets policy later in the day, with a large majority of economists predicting a quarter-point cut to the cash rate. The New Zealand dollar drooped close to Tuesday's nearly two-week low, last changing hands at US$0.5895. "There's little reason for RBNZ to keep rates on hold," said Rodda. "Inflation is within its target band, and although it is no longer mandated to target the labour market, the unemployment rate is at a post-COVID high." For the Fed, traders ramped up bets for a cut on September 17 after a surprisingly weak payrolls report at the start of this month, and were further encouraged after consumer price data showed limited upward pressure from tariffs. However, a hotter-than-expected producer price reading last week complicated the policy picture. Powell has said he is reluctant to cut rates due to expected tariff-driven price pressures this summer. The Fed will release minutes from its July 29-30 meeting later on Wednesday, when the central bank held rates steady, although they may offer limited insight as the meeting came before the weak jobs numbers. The dollar advanced 0.1 per cent to 147.78 yen. The euro eased 0.1 per cent to US$1.1633, the weakest since August 14. Sterling slipped 0.1 per cent to US$1.3476, the lowest since August 12. Australia's dollar edged down to US$0.64485, a level last seen on August 1.
