Trading near $3,293, gold struggled amid easing global trade tensions and a risk-on market mood, though a softer U.S. dollar and slightly lower Treasury yields offered some support. With the Federal Reserve\u2019s interest rate decision looming, investors remained cautious, awaiting clues on future monetary policy.<br \/><br \/>Strong U.S. economic indicators drove the decline. The ADP Employment Change report showed 104,000 jobs added in July, surpassing forecasts of 78,000. Q2 GDP growth hit 3%, beating the 2.4% estimate, while core PCE inflation rose 2.5%, slightly above expectations but down from 3.5% in Q1. These figures signaled economic resilience, reducing gold\u2019s appeal as a hedge. Meanwhile, easing trade tensions, including a US-EU deal with a 15% tariff and ongoing talks with Canada and South Korea, further eroded safe-haven demand.<br \/><br \/>The Federal Reserve is expected to hold rates at 4.25%-4.5% on Wednesday, with focus on its forward guidance. Markets are pricing in a 65% chance of a September rate cut, which could lift gold if the Fed signals dovishness. However, a hawkish stance may push prices lower. As trade talks progress toward an August 12 deadline with China, gold\u2019s path hinges on Fed cues and global risk sentiment.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold prices fell below $3,300 on July 30, 2025, shedding nearly 1% as robust U.S. economic data dampened demand for the safe-haven metal.
