Fundamentals and News

Gold Gains as Fed Minutes Ease Concern on Pace of Fed Hikes

ü  Spot gold rose, erasing earlier declines, after minutes of the Federal Reserve’s last meeting showed officials expressing confidence they can raise U.S. interest rates gradually, with many voters seeing only a modest risk of significant inflation.

 

ü  The record of the Jan. 31-Feb. 1 gathering released Wednesday showed Fed officials wrestling with uncertainty on issues ranging from the Trump administration’s fiscal stimulus plans to the headwinds a rising dollar may pose. The discussion of a rate hike “fairly soon” was tempered by other comments that indicated little concern about near-term inflation risks.

 

ü  What we got was not a surprise either for the hawks or the doves,” saidGeorge Gero, a New York-based managing director at RBC Wealth Management. “You’re seeing a little bit of short covering from those who were more pessimistic or were looking for more hawkish comments.”

 

ü  Gold has posted three straight weekly gains as uncertainty over the economic impact

ü  of upcoming elections in Europe and President Donald Trump’s policies spurred speculation that the Fed will be cautious in raising rates. Fed fund futures are pricing in a 36 percent chance of a rate increase in March, the same as traders expected earlier before the minutes were released.

 

ü  Gold for immediate delivery rose 0.1 percent to $1,237.53 an ounce at 2:32 p.m. New York time. The metal fell as much as 0.4 percent earlier.

 

ü  “The fact that they are not coming up with anything we didn’t expect has stabilized the price for now,” Gero said.

 

ü  Gold fell amid mixed messages from Fed officials on interest rates before the central bank released minutes from its latest policy meeting.

 

ü  Gold futures for April delivery -0.5% to settle at $1,233.30/oz at 1:43 pm on Comex in NY
