gold prices (XAU/USD) is demonstrating a subdued performance around $1,960.00 in the early New York session. The precious metal is struggling to deliver a decisive move as investors are hoping that the Federal Reserve (Fed) might skip the policy-tightening regime one more time this month.

After recognizing a consistent decline in inflationary pressures, Fed chair Jerome Powell skipped its policy-tightening spell in May but remained doors open for more rate hikes. June’s inflation report conveyed that price pressures have softened more than expected as prices of second-hand automobiles have dropped sharply.

Meanwhile, the S&P500 is expected to open on a mildly bullish note amid a risk-on mood. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has delivered a short-lived pullback to near 100.00, however, the downside bias is still favored as fundamentals are still not supporting. The yields offered on 10-year US Treasury bonds have rebounded to near 3.79%.

In spite of the decline in price pressures, Fed Governor Christopher Waller delivered a hawkish commentary. Fed Waller is confident that two more interest rate hikes are appropriate this year to bring down inflation to 2%.
