Gold prices take a breather
Gold prices take a breather this morning after an overnight dip.
And for almost three weeks, the price of gold has remained within a narrow range in trading. This stability has been influenced by the strengthening of the US dollar and rising treasury yields, as investors speculate about the Federal Reserve's position on potential interest rate increases.
Gold futures have been fluctuating between $1,940 and $2,000 per ounce, while spot gold has stayed within the range of $1,930 to $1,980 per ounce since mid-May.
US Stocks were mixed
In a notable surge overnight, Stitch Fix experienced a significant increase of 28% in its stock price after the online personal styling company announced third-quarter results that exceeded expectations. The jump however failed to lift the Nasdaq as tech optimism fades as we get closer to the Fed day!
