Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The market is increasingly pricing in earlier interest rate hikes in the US, which pushes up US bond yields and real interest rates. This increase in the opportunity cost of holding gold affects its short-term attractiveness.

The Federal Reserve's communication style is currently being watched closely as a key factor influencing market expectations and volatility, especially amid geopolitical tensions involving Iran in the Middle East.
