Gold prices experienced a decline as the US dollar strengthened and Treasury yields rose, retreating within a recent consolidation range. Following a volatile prior day, prices adjusted after President Trump denied any plans to remove Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, easing concerns over central bank independence. Despite flat wholesale inflation in June, CPI indicated renewed upward pressure. Caution from Fed officials implies potential rate cuts are unlikely in the short term, which may negatively impact non-yielding assets like gold. Nonetheless, ongoing geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainties could bolster demand for safe-haven assets like gold.
