Gold prices edged slightly higher, maintaining a narrow trading range as markets await Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s comments later this week. Spot gold traded near $2,035 per ounce early Monday, supported by a softer U.S. dollar and subdued Treasury yields, while investors remain cautious about the Fed’s policy outlook.

The yellow metal’s movement comes after a week marked by volatility, driven by mixed U.S. economic data that offered little clarity on inflation and interest rates. Market sentiment appears anchored by expectations that Powell will reinforce the Fed’s stance of holding rates steady, even as uncertainty looms about 2024’s economic trajectory.

While gold benefits from dollar weakness, persistent uncertainty over Fed policy tightening limits its upward potential. Analysts note that a decisive break above $2,050 per ounce remains unlikely without stronger catalysts, such as more dovish commentary or geopolitical developments.Gold’s recent range-bound performance underscores the broader market’s focus on macroeconomic signals and their implications for safe-haven assets.

Investors will scrutinize Powell’s words for clues on inflationary pressures and the likelihood of future rate hikes, keeping the spotlight on gold as a barometer of economic sentiment.
