"Gold (XAU/USD) attracted some buyers during Asian trading hours on Wednesday. Safe-haven demand, driven by geopolitical tensions and political uncertainty, as well as central bank buying activity, may contribute to pushing gold prices higher. However, hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve officials could dampen hopes of interest rate cuts in 2024, despite weaker-than-expected US employment reports in April. This could drag the precious metal lower.
At the end of Wednesday, Philip Jefferson, Susan Collins, and Lisa Cook of the Federal Reserve will speak. Hawkish comments from Fed policymakers may lift the greenback and exert pressure on gold priced in USD. Gold traders will monitor consumer sentiment indices from the University of Michigan on Friday."
