Gold prices were little changed in early Asia hours on Monday, as market participants awaited comments from Federal Reserve officials and economic data to gauge the US interest rate path.

Gold unchanged at Rs278,800 per tola in Pakistan

Fundamentals

  • Spot gold was almost flat at $2,683.78 per ounce, as of 0012 GMT. US gold futures eased 0.1% to $2,690.90.

  • A slew of Fed officials are scheduled to speak this week, including Chair Jerome Powell. US consumer price index (CPI), producer price index (PPI), weekly jobless claims and retail sales are the major data sets due for release this week.

  • On Thursday, the Fed cut interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point as its policymakers began taking stock of what could become a more complex economic landscape when President-elect Donald Trump takes office next year.

  • Traders see a 65% chance of another 25-basis-point cut in December. Lower interest rates boost the appeal of zero-yield bullion.

  • Most Americans believe Trump will push the US government deeper into debt in his new term, though most Republicans do not share Democrats’ concerns over his fiscal stewardship, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.

  • SPDR Gold Trust, the world’s largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, said its holdings fell 0.42% to 876.85 tonnes on Friday from 880.58 tonnes on Thursday.

  • Spot silver rose 0.1% to $31.32 per ounce, platinum gained 0.4% to $972.36 and palladium was up 0.6% at $994.37.

  • China’s consumer prices rose at the slowest pace in four months in October while producer price deflation deepened, data showed on Saturday, even as Beijing doubled down on stimulus to support the sputtering economy.
