Fundamental Report: The Gold prices concluded the week at $2024, marking a 0.75% decrease. The week was characterized by a stronger dollar and higher Treasury yields, directly influencing gold prices. The U.S. Dollar Index  witnessed a modest rise, reaching a 12-week peak at 104.604. Concurrently, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 4.177%, its highest in two months. These factors collectively made gold more expensive for holders of other currencies and pressured gold prices downward. The week also saw reactions to the solid U.S. jobs report from February 2, which showed robust job growth and wage gains. This data dampened the prospects of a Fed rate cut in the near term, influencing gold market sentiment. Additionally, revisions to the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) offered mixed signals but maintained an overall trend of slowing inflation, a factor critical in the Fed’s decision-making process. The upcoming U.S. CPI report, due on Tuesday, is the focal point for next week’s gold trade. The market anticipates a 0.2% increase in January’s CPI, mirroring December’s growth, with a yearly rise forecasted at 2.9%. The core CPI is also expected to show a 0.3% increase. These figures will be pivotal in shaping the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook, thereby influencing gold prices.
