Gold prices rose slightly on Wednesday, hitting a near two-week high, mainly supported by a weaker dollar. Marex analyst Edward Meir stated that talk of the US potentially ending the war within two to three weeks even without the Strait of Hormuz reopening boosted US stocks and drove gold prices higher. However, if inflation expectations resurface, interest rates could rise further, limiting the upside potential for gold. The market has almost completely ruled out the possibility of a Federal Reserve rate cut this year, whereas before the war, the market had expected two rate cuts this year. OCBC strategist Christopher Wong said that if geopolitical tensions ease further, market expectations for Fed easing monetary policy could return. In this scenario, real yields are expected to decline, thus providing support for gold prices. (Golden Ten)
