Daily Digest Market Movers: Gold price attracts safe-haven flows amid trade concerns

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Tuesday that the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased the most in five months, by 0.3% in June, and the yearly rate accelerated to 2.7% from 2.4% in May. Meanwhile, the core gauge, which excludes fluctuating food and energy costs, rose 2.9% YoY from 2.8% in the previous month.

The data sparked concerns over the inflationary effects of US President Donald Trump's trade tariffs and reaffirmed bets that the Federal Reserve will keep rates higher for an extended period. This lifted the US Treasury bond yields higher and the US Dollar to its highest level since June 23, dragging the Gold price to a multi-day trough.

Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that it is challenging to set monetary policy right now amid uncertainty, and a solid economy gives the US central bank time to decide its next interest rate move. Tariffs could boost inflation over the second half of 2025 and push core inflation to around 3% by year's end, Boston added further.

Separately, Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan said the base case is that monetary policy needs to hold tight for a while longer to bring inflation down. Logan added that tariff increases appear likely to create additional inflationary pressure for some time, and an early rate cut by the Fed risks deeper economic scars on a longer road to price stability.

Meanwhile, Trump said on Tuesday that 200% tariffs on pharmaceutical imports will come by the month-end. This comes on top of Trump's tariff notices to more than 20 countries and a 50% tariff on copper imports last week, which keeps investors on edge and assists the safe-haven precious metal to attract some dip-buying on Wednesday.

Traders now look forward to the release of the US Producer Price Index due later during the North American session. Apart from this, comments from influential FOMC members will drive the USD and provide a fresh impetus to the XAU/USD pair. The mixed fundamental backdrop, meanwhile, warrants caution for aggressive traders.
