XAUUSD: Some information and forecast for next week
Gold prices rose back above the psychologically important level of $1,950 per ounce in the last trading session of the week as US inflation eased in line with expectations.
Specifically, the US Department of Commerce reported that the core personal consumption expenditure (PCE) index increased by 0.2% in June. This figure was lower than the 0.3% growth recorded in May, aligning with economists' expectations.
Over the past 12 months, inflation rose by 4.1%, marking a significant decrease compared to the 4.6% increase in June. The annual inflation rate also slightly declined compared to economists' forecast of 4.2%. Despite the notable decline in inflation, it remains nearly double the target set by the US Federal Reserve, which is doing everything possible to achieve its goal.
The core inflation rate increased by 4.1% year-on-year, a considerable drop from the 4.6% growth recorded in May. Although inflation is still far from the Federal Reserve's 2% target, some analysts noted that it is heading in the right direction, which might persuade the Fed to maintain interest rates in September. The possibility of the central bank pausing its tightening policy continues to support the gold price.
Analysts also point out that the growing cracks in consumer spending further support the gold price. Reports highlight that personal income is failing to keep up with spending. Specifically, personal income increased by 0.3% in June, compared to the revised 0.5% growth in May. The data fell short of economists' expectations of a 0.5% increase
