Gold steadied as the dollar declined amid expectations of a slowdown in the pace of U.S. interest rate hikes, with investors seeking refuge in the bullion from a sell-off in global stocks.
The dollar fell about 0.5 percent as U.S. Treasury yields tumbled and traders scaled back expectations on the number of hikes the Fed would implement amid weakening economic data and market volatility.
The dollar index inched lower, weighed down by worries about lower U.S. long-term Treasury yields and expectations of a fewer rate hikes by the U.S. central bank. Atlanta Federal Reserve bank president Raphael Bostic on Thursday said he felt the Fed should continue raising rates towards a “neutral” level, noting that despite recent market volatility and increasing uncertainty, he did not see “any indications of a material weakening in the macroeconomic data at the moment.”
The Federal Reserve is “helping community banks remain competitive” and continue to play a central role in rural communities, in part by reducing regulations for smaller banks, Fed Governor Randal Quarles told the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research.
He did not comment on the economic outlook or monetary policy in his prepared remarks, which focused on banks in the Western United States. Gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) registered inflows in all the world’s major regions in November, as volatile stock markets fuelled flight-to-safety buying, the World Gold Council said on Thursday.
