Non-return gold prices fell after the data release, whereby Spot gold closed 0.6% lower.
“Although the gold prices stabilized on Friday, more pain could be around the corner, depending on how the top between Trump and Putin in Alaska is going on,” said Lukman Otunuga, senior research analyst at FXTM. Trump went to Alaska for what he called a “high-stakes” summit with Putin on Friday to discuss a ceasefire for Ukraine.

Analysts at ANZ said that macro -economic and geopolitical risks would increase in the second half of this year, which would improve Gold’s Haven appetite. “The Bullish prospects of Gold remain intact, supported by the prospect of rising rates, a delaying world economy, the relief of the American monetary policy and persistent weakness in the US dollar,” Anz said.
The American retail trade rose sharply in July, although a soothing labor market and the prices of higher goods can curb the growth of consumer spending in the third quarter.
