Gold Outlook
Gold traded steadily amid a weaker US Dollar and profit booking, with support from expectations of a Fed rate cut in September post-soft US employment data. Political uncertainties in France and Middle East tensions also bolstered Gold as a safe-haven asset. Earlier, prices dipped due to China's PBoC not buying Gold for a second month. Focus now shifts to Fed Chair Powell's testimony and US CPI data later in the week.
