Since the markets in the USA were closed yesterday, calm movements were observed. It was observed that horizontal movements were dominant in the ounce gold price. For today, the markets will open in the USA and the economic data to be announced will be followed. Recently, there has been a cooling in expectations about the Fed. The markets, which are confident that the Fed will raise interest rates, mention that there may be an increase of maybe 50 basis points for the next meeting. The 25 basis point odds are still on the table. The fact that the market is divided into two and the expectations that interest rates will increase by 25 or 50 basis points can suppress the risk appetite. Speeches by possible Fed officials can be watched today. Fed uncertainty could also weigh on commodities.
