Gold eyes $4,000 as negative bias persists amid Israel-Hamas peace deal

ChatGPT said:

Gold faces mixed pressure on Thursday, held above $4,000 as the Israel-Hamas peace deal prompts profit-taking, while a stronger USD weighs on the safe-haven metal. Dovish Fed expectations and ongoing US government shutdown concerns provide some support, keeping bullion from a sharp decline.

FOMC minutes show most officials favor further rate cuts this year, with markets pricing in high odds for October and December cuts. Traders now await Fed Chair Powell’s speech for direction, while geopolitical tensions and US labor market risks continue to cap any meaningful slide in Gold.
