Gold price struggles to capitalize on intraday gains amid receding Fed rate cut bets
Concerns about Trump’s trade tariff and a modest USD weakness underpin the XAU/USD pair.
Gold price (XAU/USD) builds on the previous day’s bounce from the $2,864 region touched in reaction to hotter US consumer inflation figures and gains some follow-through positive traction for the second straight day on Thursday. A fresh leg down in the US Treasury bond yields exerts downward pressure on the US Dollar (USD), which, in turn, is seen benefiting the USD-denominated commodity. Apart from this, worries about US President Donald Trump’s tariffs and a global trade war underpin the safe-haven bullion.
Meanwhile, the hotter US consumer inflation figures released on Wednesday reaffirmed market expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will stick to its hawkish stance and hold interest rates steady for an extended period. This could act as a tailwind for the US bond yields and the Greenback, which, in turn, acts as a headwind for the non-yielding Gold price amid still-overbought conditions on the daily chart. Traders now look forward to the release of the US Producer Price Index (PPI) for some meaningful impetus.

GJEPC Steps Up UK Outreach Ahead Of IIJS Bharat Premiere 2026
GJEPC Visited Major Jewellery Trading Hubs, Meeting 20+ Jewellery Retailers and Wholesalers Through In-Person Interactions
GJEPC intensified its promotional efforts in the United Kingdom ahead of IIJS Bharat Premiere 2026 through a week-long outreach programme in London that combined direct retailer engagement with the 2nd India-UK Jewellery Buyer-Seller Meet (BSM). The initiative was held from 6 to 10 July 2026 and aimed to attract more UK buyers while strengthening trade ties following the India-UK Free Trade Agreement.
As part of the campaign, Gaurang Vora, Manager, GJEPC, visited major jewellery trading hubs including Green Street, Southall and Wembley, meeting 20+ jewellery retailers and wholesalers through in-person interactions. He promoted IIJS Bharat Premiere 2026, distributed event information and registration details, and gathered market feedback on sourcing requirements and buying trends.
Based on feedback from UK buyers, the 2nd India-UK Jewellery Buyer-Seller Meet generated strong demand for 22-karat gold jewellery, diamond jewellery, lightweight designs, lab-grown diamond jewellery and silver jewellery. Buyers also expressed interest in sourcing from reliable, export-oriented Indian manufacturers and suggested that suppliers offer smaller minimum order quantities to better meet the needs of independent retailers.
The campaign generated new buyer enquiries, strengthened relationships with existing trade partners and provided GJEPC with market intelligence on consumer preferences and sourcing trends. The Council plans to continue engaging with buyers, assist with IIJS Bharat Premiere registrations and facilitate introductions between overseas buyers and Indian manufacturers.
