Higher interest rates tend to attract more investments into the US currency, potentially dampening demand for gold. Consequently, gold prices might face downward pressure in this scenario.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rate Pause Scenario (USD Weakens):<\/strong> Conversely, if the Fed decides to maintain interest rates at 5.25% or hints at a more dovish approach, the USD could weaken. A weaker USD often prompts investors to seek refuge in gold as a hedge against currency depreciation and inflation. As a result, gold prices could see an uptick due to increased demand.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-401908 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gomarkets.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fed.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1412\" height=\"646\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Source: CME Fedwatch tool<\/p>\n<p>With the markets almost entirely pricing in a 25bps hike, unless we get a surprise in the figure, volatility may stay subdued until Fed Chair Jerome Powell begins his press conference shortly after the announcement.
