[ad_1] At the same time, U.S. economic signals painted a mixed picture: GDP shrank by 0.3% in Q1 and core PCE was flat in March, while jobless claims rose to 241,000.

Fed in Focus with Powell Set to Speak on Wednesday This week, all attention turns to the Federal Reserve. The FOMC is expected to hold rates steady on Wednesday, but Chair Powell\u2019s press conference may carry outsized impact. Political pressure has intensified, with President Trump and Treasury Secretary Bessent openly criticizing the Fed and urging preemptive cuts. However, with Friday\u2019s jobs report showing no clear labor market deterioration, Powell may strike a cautious tone\u2014potentially reinforcing higher-for-longer rate expectations unless inflation or employment data worsen. Gold Prices Forecast: Bearish Near-Term Bias as Fed Holds the Line Gold enters the week with a bearish tilt. A firmer dollar, muted physical demand, and reduced expectations for near-term Fed cuts are all headwinds. Unless Powell surprises with dovish guidance, bullion is likely to remain under pressure.

Traders should brace for volatility around Wednesday\u2019s FOMC announcement and Powell\u2019s post-meeting remarks. More Information in our Economic Calendar.
