Gold Price Movement: Gold prices have decreased slightly in early Asian trading, likely due to a technical correction after a strong rise last Friday.
Impact of Fed Chair's Comments: The increase in gold prices was influenced by Fed Chair Powell's indication of a potential rate cut in September, which has created uncertainty about future cuts.
Analyst Insights: Vasu Menon from OCBC highlights that while a September rate cut is possible, there is no guarantee of continued cuts in subsequent months.
Current Spot Price: As of the latest report, spot gold is priced at $3,367.50 per ounce, reflecting a 0.1% decrease.
