Gold traders have their rally caps on after ECB’s Knot signaled they could be ready to pause in September and after Canadian inflation dropped to the BOC’s control range for the first time since March 2021. Global bond yields are falling and that is good news for bullion investors.

So far this earnings season, the big banks have outlined a vision that includes slowing growth in the US, which should allow the Fed to be one and done with rate hikes. Unless core inflation proves to be a lot stickier than Wall Street fears, the peak in global rates should be in place by the fall. Gold might struggle to make a run at the $2000 level, but that could change if bond yields continue to come down and the Fed signals they are likely done hiking next week after delivering one last quarter-point rate rise.
