Gold heads for weekly fall as Fed rate cut prospects weigh

Gold prices fell on Friday and were on track for a weekly decline, as an overall stronger dollar and the prospect of fewer US interest rate cuts offset support from rising geopolitical risks in the Middle East. Spot gold slipped 0.8% to $3,333.99 an ounce, as of 0604 GMT, and was down 2.5% for the week so far. US gold futures shed 1.4% to $3,361.80. Describing the situation in the Middle East as 'fluid', Kelvin Wong, senior market analyst, Asia Pacific, at OANDA, said it is causing traders to avoid taking aggressive positions both on the long and the short side of the trade spectrum. US President Donald Trump will decide in the next two weeks whether the US will get involved in the Israel-Iran air war, the White House said on Thursday, raising pressure on Tehran to come to the negotiating table. Meanwhile, Trump reiterated his calls for the US Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, saying it should be 2.5 percentage points lower. The Fed held rates steady on Wednesday, and policymakers retained projections for two quarter-point rate cuts this year. 'Macroeconomic developments, particularly steady yields and renewed USD strength, have not supported the (gold) price,' analysts at ANZ said in a note. 'Rising inflation expectations and the Fed's cautious stance have weighed on market expectations around the number of rate cuts this year.' The dollar was set to log its biggest weekly rise in over a month on Friday. A stronger greenback makes gold more expensive for other currency holders. Reuters

Global stocks mixed as Israeli and Iranian air strikes go on

Global stocks were mixed on Friday amid the Iran-Israel air strikes and as the US weighed options to become more involved in the conflict that has been raging for more than a week, damaging investor sentiment. Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq composite finished lower, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed slightly higher. S&P 500 fell by 0.2 per cent and Nasdaq Composite by 0.5 per cent when markets closed on Friday. Dow Jones Industrial Average was up by 0.08 per cent. 'The worsening global geopolitical weather keeps investors in a cautious mode, and will likely prevent them from taking too much risk,' said Ipek Ozkardeskaya, a senior analyst at Swissquote Bank. The news that 'the US is giving itself two weeks to decide whether to intervene in Iran – which is slightly better than earlier reports suggesting they would go in this weekend – has somehow eased tensions,' she said. US President Donald Trump said he will decide 'in the next two weeks' whether his country will join Israel in attacking Iran, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday. The move eased concerns about an imminent attack on Iran by the US. However, if the Washington becomes involved in the conflict, it is expected to exacerbate the situation and hit investor sentiment. Israel and Iran conflict, which began on June 13 following air strikes by Israel on Tehran has rattled investors, with global stocks plunging and oil prices rising on the first day of the war. Gold prices also rose as investors rushed to safe-haven assets amid uncertainties in the market. Analysts expect markets to remain volatile in the coming days. 'While the immediate prospect of a US intervention in Iran may have diminished, the fact this is reportedly a two-week hiatus means it will remain a live issue for the markets going into next week,' AFP reported, quoting Dan Coatsworth, an investment analyst at AJ Bell. In Europe, London's FTSE 100 closed 0.2 per cent lower, while Paris' CAC 40 gained 0.5 per cent. Frankfurt's DAX was up 1.3 per cent. In Asia, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index edged 1.3 per cent higher and Shanghai's composite was down 0.07 per cent, with Japan's Nikkei down 0.2 per cent. Investors are also keeping a close eye on the US Federal Reserve. On Wednesday, the Fed kept interest rates unchanged and also forecast a slower pace of cuts as it expects higher inflation because of tariffs. This week's decision was the fourth consecutive time the Fed has held rates steady after lowering them by 100 basis points to about 4.33 per cent last year. However, a senior official at the Fed has suggested that the US central bank should consider cutting interest rates as soon as next month. 'We could do this as early as July,' Fed Governor Christopher Waller said on CNBC. 'That would be my view, whether the committee would go along with it or not.'

Gulf Growth Gains Amid Israel–Iran Strains

Gulf economies—led by the UAE and Saudi Arabia—are forecast to sustain stronger growth, underpinned by higher oil output and robust non-oil activity, even as tensions between Israel and Iran add volatility to the region's economic outlook. Capital Economics estimates the UAE economy will expand by approximately 5.8 percent this year, propelled by elevated oil production and expansion in tourism, finance and construction sectors. The non-oil sector continues to account for three‑quarters of national output, demonstrating effective economic diversification and a supportive fiscal framework. In Saudi Arabia, output has received a boost from OPEC+ adjustments. Riyadh, urging increased production, has reversed voluntary cuts of the past five years—liberating more oil onto global markets. This strategic move supports GDP growth, although economists caution it may obscure a weakening non-oil sector if public spending tightens. ADVERTISEMENT The Israel‑Iran confrontation has prised markets into cautious territory. Brent crude spiked above $78 per barrel before cooling slightly, driven by anxiety over possible supply shocks—from disruptions in Iran or through the Strait of Hormuz—though analysts generally see deep disruption as unlikely. Asian refiners, including in India, have shifted toward securing Middle East crude via term contracts, avoiding speculative premiums in spot markets. The UAE's stock markets reflect this duality. Following earlier losses, the Dubai and Abu Dhabi indices rebounded—rising 1.6 percent and 1 percent respectively—as hopes of de‑escalation emerged, buoyed by diplomatic mediation efforts. Nevertheless, Capital Economics warns that if the conflict deepens, Gulf growth advantages could erode. Iran's economy—roughly 0.85 percent of global GDP—might shrink by around 50 percent in a prolonged conflict, impacting trading partners; the UAE's exports to Iran alone represent 1.2 percent of GDP. A wider regional confrontation could trigger oil-price spikes, creating destabilising ripple effects. Yet projections remain cautiously optimistic. Capital Economics outlines a scenario in which hostilities subside within weeks: oil prices normalise near $65 per barrel and Gulf GDP growth remains robust. Oxford Economics likewise suggests that even in more severe oil‑shock scenarios, the macroeconomic impact may be limited and manageable. Longer‑term resilience in the Gulf is being supported by strategic diversification initiatives. UAE's efforts to expand non-oil industries through tourism, financial services and infrastructure are dovetailing with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030—including privatisation of state assets and SME expansion to lift non-oil GDP share. Nevertheless, analysts assert that non‑oil sectors in Saudi Arabia are showing signs of strain. Early signs of contraction coincide with public spending consolidation, even as oil revenues rise. UAE diversification, in contrast, has maintained momentum, with forecasts rising from 4 percent in 2024 to 4.5 percent in 2025 and 5.5 percent in 2026. Region‑wide growth expectations have been revised upward—GCC economies are now seen expanding around 4.4 percent this year, a 0.4 point upgrade—driven by faster OPEC+ output and sustained non-oil activity in key states. Despite these positive forecasts, cautious tones persist. Market volatility has increased across bonds, equities and currencies. A protracted conflict—which includes threats to Strait of Hormuz oil shipments—could have serious economic consequences.
