U.S. President Trump said he will hold a celebration in Washington, D.C., on June 24 to mark the 250th anniversary of U.S. founding.

In a June 4 Gold Market Talk, the World Gold Council said rising inf pressure may force the Fed to hike, and that when hikes occur they can counterintuitively be supportive for gold. Historical data show gold rose in more than half of rate-hike episodes. The Council said the dollar’s influence on gold prices appears to outweigh rates; mid-cycle growth and yield convergence plus a trend toward diversification away from US assets have set the stage for potential dollar weakness. Structural demand from major consumers China and India and ongoing central bank buying — which are less sensitive to US rates — could provide further support for gold.
