[Federal Reserve Rate Cut Expectations Rise, Gold Prices Remain Stable on Monday]
Gold prices remained stable on Monday as rising expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut next month partially offset the pressure from a stronger dollar. Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank, stated that after New York Fed President Williams hinted that a weakening labor market might create room for rate cuts, investors are assessing the prospect of another rate cut by the Federal Reserve, keeping gold prices steady. On Friday, Williams said that U.S. interest rates could decline without jeopardizing the Fed's inflation target while guarding against a downturn in the labor market. According to CME FedWatch data, following Williams' dovish remarks, the probability of a rate cut next month rose from 40% to 72%.
