Despite the overall geopolitical tensions, as well as Trump's trade actions and the activity of central banks, which this year stimulated the growth of gold prices by 27%, the market has recently shown stabilization.
In the last few months, the growth has lost momentum, and bullion is mostly traded between 3,300 and 3,400 dollars per ounce
Additionally
US economic statistics also have an impact on quotations. In particular, the consumer confidence index unexpectedly decreased in June. This raised concerns about the consequences of trade policy for the economy and the labor market.
"This may encourage the Federal Reserve to cut rates in the coming months," Bloomberg notes.
At the same time, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell called for not rushing with this decision. Lowering rates is traditionally considered a positive factor for gold, as this asset does not bring interest income.
As of 10:35 Singapore time (05:35 Kyiv time), the spot price of gold rose by 0.2% to 3,330 dollars 85 cents per ounce. The Bloomberg spot dollar index remained unchanged. Silver prices did not change, while platinum continued to decline.
