Daily Digest Market Movers: Gold price traders seem reluctant amid mixed cues, ahead of crucial US jobs data

• Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell tempered hopes for an immediate rate cut and said on Wednesday that it is too soon to say whether the central bank will lower borrowing costs at the September meeting. Powell added that the current modestly restrictive monetary policy has not been holding back the economy and is in the right place to manage continued uncertainty around tariffs and inflation.

• The upbeat economic outlook was reaffirmed by the Advanced US GDP print, which showed that the economy expanded by a 3% annualized pace during the second quarter of the current year. Moreover, the US Bureau of Economic Analysis reported on Thursday that the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index climbed to 2.6% in June from 2.4% in the previous month (revised up from 2.3%).

• Meanwhile, the core gauge, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 2.8% during the reported month, matching May's reading and surpassing the consensus estimate of 2.7%. The data reaffirmed the view that price pressures would pick up in the second half of the year and delay the Fed's rate-cutting cycle until at least October, lifting the US Dollar to a multi-month top and capping the Gold price.

• US President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order imposing new tariffs on a number of trading partners that go into effect on August 7. The Trump administration said that the universal tariff will remain at 10% for countries with which the US has a trade surplus, while nations with which the US has a trade deficit face a 15% floor. The fate of China's trade relations with the US, however, remains uncertain.

• Despite a two-day meeting between Chinese and American negotiators this week, the world's two largest economic giants are yet to agree on a trade deal. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that any extension of the 90-day tariff truce, which is set to expire later this month, would be up to Trump. This, in turn, tempers investors' appetite for riskier assets and offers some support to the safe-haven commodity.

• Traders also seem reluctant to place aggressive directional bets around the XAU/USD pair and opt to wait for the release of the US monthly employment details. The popularly known Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report is expected to show that the US economy added 110K jobs in July, down from 147K in the previous month, and the Unemployment Rate is seen edging higher to 4.2% from 4.1% in June.

• Friday's US economic docket also features the release of the ISM Manufacturing PMI, which could further influence the USD and provide some meaningful impetus to the bullion. Nevertheless, the precious metal remains on track to register losses for the third straight week and could weaken further amid the underlying bullish sentiment surrounding the USD.
