International gold price

In the world market, the spot gold price on Kitco closed the weekend trading session at 1,918 USD/ounce.

Gold prices ended the week lower amid positive US economic data released this week. Accordingly, the US service sector improved in August. The number of unemployment claims unexpectedly fell last week, to the lowest level since February 2023.

This could make the US Federal Reserve (Fed) think carefully about whether to loosen or tighten its monetary policy.

The Fed has raised interest rates 11 times, bringing US interest rates to their highest level in 22 years to curb inflation, which is still above the 2% target.

The market sees a 93% chance the Fed will keep rates unchanged at its September 19-20 meeting, but a 42% chance of one more rate hike this year.

Gold price forecast

The latest Kitco News weekly gold survey found that a majority of investors are bearish on gold next week.

Expert Carlo Alberto De Casa at Kinesis Money said that the strength of the USD, along with the recovery of US Treasury bond yields put pressure on gold.

Expert James Stanley, market strategist at Forex, commented that the US consumer price index (CPI) and producer price index (PPI) data for August are the decisive factors for gold prices next week.
