The gold market could continue to see further profit-taking and consolidation through the summer, but Friday's price action shows that investors still want some exposure to this important safe-haven asset heading into a volatile weekend.
The precious metal is ending the week with a significant loss, as investors were quick to liquidate some of their bullish bets when prices failed to hold gains at a three-month high above $3,400 an ounce.
Spot gold last traded at $3,364.70 an ounce, down nearly 2% on the week. Meanwhile, silver is relatively outperforming gold even as prices look to close the week below $36 an ounce. Spot silver last traded at $35.99, down 0.68% from last Friday.
"The gold price remained virtually unaffected by the U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision on Wednesday evening," said Thu Lan Nguyen, Head of FX and Commodity Research at Commerzbank. "In principle, however, the prospect of lower U.S. interest rates remains a supportive factor for gold, even if it is unlikely to lead to another sharp rise in prices."
With renewed focus on U.S. monetary policy, markets will closely watch Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's two-day semiannual testimony on Capitol Hill.
Powell continues to face significant criticism from President Donald Trump, as the central bank has been reluctant to cut interest rates amid persistent inflation risks.
