Gold price slides for the third straight day against the US Dollar (USD), following the Federal Reserve’s hawkish hold that bolstered the Greenback. H
while upward revising the Federal Funds Rate for 2024 from 44.6% to 5.1% was the reason behind the market’s reaction. Even though policymakers see another 25 bps rate hike toward the end of the year, market participants remain skeptical about a hike in November, but not so much in December. The odds of a 25 bps hike in the former are 26.3%, while the latter stands at 38.4%.
That spurred Gold’s fall, as US Treasury bond yields skyrocketed, while US real yields reached a year-to-date high at 2.115%, as shown by US 10-year TIPS . Additionally, more central banks kept rates unchanged but stressed the need to add to the Fed’s mantra of holding rates “higher for longer.” The Bank of England kept rates at 5.25% but maintained the door open for additional rate increases. Also, the Swiss National Bank held its policy rates unchanged at 1.75% and warned about future tightening.
On the data front, US unemployment claims for the week ending on September 16 rose below estimates of 225K at 201K. The Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index, a gauge for business activity, plummeted to -13.5, below forecasts of -0.7, while Existing Home Sales for August improved to -0.7% MoM, compared to July -2.2% plunge.After spiking due to the Fed’s decision day, the XAU/USD retraced and printed a daily close below the 50-day moving average at $1930.
