Gold falls amid Warsh comments
Gold prices saw a slight decline today as attention turned to Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium. Gold dropped by 0.1% to reach $1,594.61 per ounce, amid concerns over inflation and expectations of interest rate hikes that negatively impact gold's attractiveness—especially as the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index rose to 3.7% in July, with further rate hike prospects in September and December. Meanwhile, other precious metals gained, with silver increasing by 1.5% to $70.32, platinum rising by 2.6% to $1,894.85, and palladium surging by 4.4% to $1,409.74. Despite fears of rate hikes, metals continue to achieve weekly gains.
