Spot gold fell 0.8% to $2,685.70 per ounce as of 0743 GMT and has slid nearly 2% this week. Prices hit over three-week lows on Wednesday in the aftermath of Trump's U.S. presidential election win, but rebounded by over 1% a day later.The U.S. dollar index was set for a slight weekly gain after Trump's election victory. A stronger dollar makes bullion more expensive for overseas buyers.
The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points on Thursday, as was expected, but indicated a careful and measured approach to any further reductions. Chair Jerome Powell said the presidential election results would have no"near-term" impact on monetary policy.Bullion is considered a hedge against inflation, but higher rates raise the opportunity cost of holding the commodity.
"Running a higher deficit, putting tariffs in place are both inflationary measures, which should be positive for gold."
