"Gold eased slightly as participants awaited definitive tariff guidance, with the lack of clarity keeping markets on edge. Inflation undercurrents remain firmly supportive, with the ISM Services Prices Index jumping to 69.9% in July, its highest since November 2022, pointing to persistent cost pressures likely to be compounded by higher import duties. Core inflation has now exceeded the Fed’s 2% target for over four years, constraining policymakers between containing price growth and sustaining economic momentum while resisting political pressure for rapid easing. Markets now focus on the upcoming CPI print, forecast to show a 0.3% monthly rise in the core measure, where a stronger reading could limit near-term upside but underpin longer-term inflation-hedge demand. CFTC data for the week ending August 5 showed net-longs climbing by 18,965 to 161,811, with short-only positions falling to a five-month low of 31,162, signalling reduced bearish conviction. Technically, gold remains well-supported above the 50-day EMA, with key support at $3,300 and resistance at $3,451, while the prevailing upward trendline indicates that tariff-policy developments and macroeconomic uncertainty are likely to keep dip-buying interest intact," said Riya Singh – Research Analyst, Commodities and Currency, Emkay Global Financial Services.
