Gold price (XAU/USD) witnessed a modest pullback from the vicinity of the record high, around the $2,589-2,590 area touched the previous day, and ended in the red for the first time in the last four days on Tuesday. The downtick was led by some profit-taking, albeit lacking any follow-through as traders opted to wait on the sidelines ahead of this week's key central bank event risks before placing fresh directional bets. The Federal Reserve (Fed) will announce its decision at the end of a two-day meeting later this Wednesday, which will be followed by the Bank of England (BoE) meeting on Thursday and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) policy update on Friday.
In the meantime, the extensive pricing for an oversized interest rate cut by the Fed fails to assist the US Dollar (USD) in capitalizing on the overnight bounce from its lowest level since July 2023 and revives demand for the non-yielding Gold price. However, a 25 basis points (bps) rate cut could bode well for the USD and weigh on the commodity. That said, the risk of a further escalation of conflict in the Middle East, along with the US political uncertainty ahead of the November presidential election, could offer support to the precious metal and limit the downside. This, in turn, suggests that any corrective pullback might still be seen as a buying opportunity.
