Gold prices edging higher

“Gold price inched higher as the dollar and US Yields eased after data showed that weekly U.S. jobless claims grew more than expected, spurring hopes that a softening labor market could pave the way for less-aggressive rate hikes from the Federal Reserve. Governor Powell’s testimony earlier this week weighed on market sentiment, as he raised concerns regarding sticky inflation and increased the rate hike expectations for coming meetings. According to the CME Fed tool, market participants are pricing in about a 70% probability for a 50 bps rate hike in the March meeting.

“Data on Thursday showed the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits last week increased by the most in five months, but the underlying trend remained consistent with a tight labor market. After positive ADP employment change, and weak jobless claims all eyes are on the non-farm payroll data for February, as it could give further clarity regarding Fed monetary policy path. Broader trend on COMEX could be in the range of $1805-1835 and on domestic front prices could hover in the range of Rs 54,800-55,500,” said Manav Modi, MOFSL.
