Gold Market Analysis: On Monday (July 22), during the U.S. session, spot gold rebounded from a low and is currently trading near $2,395 per ounce. The market focus is expected to shift from the Federal Reserve to the European Central Bank, which will announce its rate decision on Thursday. Additionally, the release of U.S. June retail sales data will provide insights into whether weak consumer spending will increase expectations for a rate cut in September. The market will also be watching Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech, U.S. housing starts and building permits data, the Philadelphia Fed survey, and weekly jobless claims data. The performance of the gold market this week, along with upcoming financial events, suggests that gold prices will continue to be a focal point for investors. Against a backdrop of global economic and political uncertainty, gold’s role as a safe-haven asset has become increasingly prominent, with market analysts and retail investors widely expecting gold prices to continue rising. As market expectations for Federal Reserve policy evolve further, the future trajectory of gold prices will draw even more attention.
