Gold Prices Hold Steady Amid Dollar Strength and Fed Rate Cut Expectations

On August 5, 2025, gold prices remained stable as a stronger U.S. dollar countered support from expectations of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. By 9:47 a.m. ET, spot gold had increased by 0.1% to $3,376.80 per ounce, following its highest level since July 24, which it reached on Monday. U.S. gold futures also rose by 0.1%, reaching $3,430. However, the dollar’s 0.2% increase made gold more expensive for foreign buyers, which put downward pressure on prices.

Senior market strategist Bob Haberkorn at RJO Futures stated, “A stronger dollar is currently putting pressure on gold; however, expectations that the Fed will begin cutting rates in September remain very supportive.” Markets are anticipating two rate cuts by the end of the year, starting in September, following weak hiring data from June. Gold, as a safe-haven asset, benefits from low-interest environments since it does not yield any interest. Additionally, upcoming announcements from Trump regarding Federal Reserve appointments introduce uncertainty, as investors are waiting for Thursday’s U.S. jobs data for insights on the future path of interest rates.

The U.S. trade deficit decreased in June due to a decline in consumer goods imports, reflecting the impacts of Trump’s tariffs on global commerce. This economic context enhances gold’s appeal amid political and financial uncertainty.

Silver rose 0.4% to $37.53 per ounce, reaching its highest since July 30. Haberkorn expressed bullishness on silver, predicting a break above $40, targeting $42. Platinum fell 1.3% to $1,312.42, and palladium dropped 1.7% to $1,186.18. South Africa-based miner Sibanye-Stillwater urged U.S. tariffs on Russian palladium to sustain domestic supplies.

Gold’s stability reflects balancing forces between dollar strength and rate cut bets. Trump’s Fed picks could sway monetary policy, impacting gold’s trajectory. Investors should monitor economic indicators like jobs data for volatility. The surge in silver suggests potential upside in precious metals amid uncertainty.
