Gold flat after data suggests smaller Fed rate cut
Sept 2 (Reuters) -Gold prices were flat on Monday, after falling 1% in the previous session, with U.S. inflation data suggested that the Federal Reserve was more likely to go for a smaller-than-expected interest rate cut this month.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Spot gold XAU= was flat at $2,502.89 per ounce, as of 0015 GMT after hitting a session low of $2,494.15 on Friday. However, bullion registered a monthly gain in August.
* U.S. gold futures GCcv1 rose 0.3% to $2,535.00.
* Data on Friday showed that U.S. consumer spending increased solidly in July, arguing against a half-percentage-point interest rate cut from the Fed this month. The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index rose 0.2% last month, in line with expectations, after an unrevised 0.1% advance in June.
* Non-yielding bullion tends to thrive in a low-interest-rate environment.
* The Fed is expected to kick off a rate-cutting cycle at its monetary policy meeting on Sept. 17-18. Traders currently see a 67% chance of a 25 basis-point (bp) reduction by the U.S central bank this month and a 33% chance of a 50-bp cut, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
* Investors now look ahead to the ADP employment data and U.S. non-farm payroll report due later this week.
* On the geopolitical front, protests gripped Israel following the death of six hostages in Gaza as frustration mounted with the country's leadership for failing to secure a ceasefire deal.
* Spot silver XAG= edged 0.2% higher to $28.89 per ounce, platinum XPT= nearly steady at $926.80 and palladium XPD= rose 0.3% to $968.18.
* South Africa's platinum mining industry has entered a phase of irreversible decline as producers struggle with low prices and demand suffers from the rise of battery electric vehicles, Northam Platinum CEO Paul Dunne said on Friday.
