- The US Dollar edges lower for the second successive day and remains well within the striking distance of the monthly low touched last week, which, in turn, is seen benefitting Gold price. Despite the mostly upbeat release of the jobs report from the US on Friday, market participants seem convinced that the Fed is nearing the end of its rate-hiking cycle. In fact, the Fed Fund futures point to a 90% probability that the US central bank will hold rates in June.

This, in turn, continues to weigh on the Greenback and lends some support to the US Dollar-denominated commodity.

- The minutes of the last BoJ policy meeting held on March 9-10 showed that members supported the continuation of policy easing in order to achieve steady inflation.

This, along with a modest USD keeps a lid on any meaningful upside for the major, at least for the time being.
