On September 16th, a member of the European Central Bank (ECB) board, Kazakos, stated that there is currently no necessity to cut interest rates. During an interview with TV24 on Tuesday, he said, "The current inflation rate is approximately 2%, and economic growth can be characterized as weak. There is currently no ground to lower interest rates." Prior to these statements, the ECB kept its borrowing costs unchanged for the second consecutive meeting last week.

The market generally expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates during this week's policy meeting. Kyle Rodda, an analyst at Capital.com, said, "Market sentiment is very optimistic. The market is betting on a rate cut ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee decision. The short- to medium-term outlook for gold remains strong." He added, "The interest rate curve has already incorporated a lot of dovish expectations.

If the Fed aligns with market pricing, it could serve as a catalyst to push gold through the $3700 level." (FX168)

September 16th: On Monday, the U.S. Senate confirmed Milan narrowly to assume the position of a Federal Reserve governor. This was achieved by securing one of the 12 votes just prior to the crucial September Fed policy meeting. The other two Federal Reserve governors appointed during Trump's first term, Bowman and Waller, both voted against keeping the rates unchanged at the July meeting and advocated for a rate cut. Analysts state that due to weaker-than-expected labor market data, these two may once again vote against maintaining the rates at the September meeting and support a more significant rate cut. Since the early days of Chairman Greenspan's tenure in 1988, there has not been a situation where three governors opposed a Fed policy decision. (Jinshi)
