- The Federal Reserve's higher-for-longer interest rates narrative remains supportive of elevated US Treasury bond yields and a bullish US Dollar, which undermines the non-yielding Gold price.
- A government report published on Wednesday showed that New Home Sales registered the steepest decline since September 2022 and plunged 11.3% in May to 619K, or the lowest level since November.
- The USD bulls, however, seem rather unaffected by the data, which added to the evidence that the world's largest economy is slowing down amid the recent signs of easing inflationary pressures.
- The Fed projected only one rate cut in 2024, though the markets are still pricing in a greater chance of the first rate cut by the Fed in September and about two 25 basis points cuts by the year-end.
- The uncertainty over the likely timing and the number of Fed rate cuts this year keeps a lid on any further USD appreciation and lends support to the XAU/USD amid persistent geopolitical tensions.
- Traders also seem reluctant ahead of the US presidential debate and the release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index – the Fed's preferred inflation gauge – on Friday.
- Heading into the key data risk, Thursday's US macro data – the final Q1 GDP print, Durable Goods Orders, Initial Weekly Jobless Claims, and Pending Home Sales – might provide some impetus.
