Gold: Fed repricing and Iran peace deal – UOB
FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet
UOB Global Economics & Markets Research highlights that Gold advanced as expectations for another Fed hike this year eased following an interim US-Iran peace deal that pushed Oil and inflation expectations lower. Spot Gold hit its highest level since early June, while US Gold futures also edged higher, reflecting demand for the metal as yields and inflation fears moderated.
Safe haven benefits from softer Fed bets
“Gold prices rose on Tue as expectations of an interest rate hike from the Fed this year eased, following an interim US-Iran peace deal that sent oil prices and inflation fears lower. Spot gold was up 0.8% at $4,338.97/oz after touching its highest level since 5 Jun on Mon.”
“US gold futures added 0.1% to settle at $4,354.40/oz.”
“The early rally was fueled by a continued slide in oil prices spurred by the prospect of a US-Iran agreement that re-starts Middle East exports via the Strait of Hormuz. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note declined more than 3 bps to 4.43%.”
“US Treasuries held onto early gains on Tue, following a strong 20-year bond auction. The $13bn sale in 20-year bonds was strong, at a high yield of 4.927%.”
“Indirect bidders took down 73.2% of the auction, up from the recent average of 64.9%.”

Japanese Yen gains ground as traders await Fed rate decision
The USD/JPY pair loses ground to near 160.25 during the early European trading hours. Traders prefer to wait on the sidelines ahead of the US Federal Reserve interest rate decision under new Chair Kevin Warsh later on Wednesday.
AUD/USD stays pressured; holds above 0.7050 as traders await Fed decision
The AUD/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the previous day’s hawkish Reserve Bank of Australia-inspired bounce and trades with a negative bias for the second consecutive day on Wednesday. Spot prices, however, hold above the 0.7050 level as traders opt to wait for the outcome of a two-day FOMC policy meeting before placing fresh directional bets.
Gold remains depressed but holds above $4,300 as traders seem hesitant ahead of Fed
Gold remains on the back foot heading into the European session, though it lacks follow-through selling and holds comfortably above the $4,300 mark. Traders now seem hesitant ahead of the highly anticipated FOMC policy decision, keeping the commodity below the weekly high.
DOGE near breakout, SHIB at its ceiling and PEPE leads meme coin recovery
Meme coins are approaching a key technical level, which could determine the next directional bias. Dogecoin struggles to overcome a major resistance level, and Shiba Inu recovery lost momentum near a crucial barrier. Meanwhile, Pepe extends its rally for a sixth straight day, raising the prospects of further upside if momentum persists.
Federal Reserve set to hold interest rates in Warsh’s debut as chair
The United States Federal Reserve announces its interest rate decision on Wednesday, another pivotal meeting for markets to gauge the stance of policymakers and new Chair Kevin Warsh as energy prices retreat after the United States and Iran reached a framework deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Why a hawkish RBA is no longer enough to lift the Australian Dollar
The Reserve Bank of Australia delivered more than what markets expected: a hawkish hold that should have supported the Aussie. But markets widely ignored it, focusing instead on slowing economic growth and proving that central bank messaging alone isn’t always enough to drive currencies.
