    XAU/USD

    • The XAU/USD continues losing ground through the early European session and drops to a fresh daily low, around the $1,660 area. It then recovered all losses and ended Monday around 1675, still bearish in the daily chart.
    • Expectations that the Federal Reserve will stick to its aggressive rate-hike path to tame uncomfortably high inflation continue to underpin the greenback. A fall in the near-term inflation expectations for consumer prices in the US to a one-year low in September forced investors to scale back bets for a full 100 bps Fed rate hike move. The FED, however, is expected to deliver at least a 75 bps at the end of a two-day monetary policy meeting on Wednesday, which continues to underpin the greenback.
    • This, in turn, remains supportive of elevated US Treasury bond yields.

This turns out to be the only factor lending some support to gold and limiting the downside, at least for now.
