The market is now looking out for U.S. gross domestic product data for the second quarter on Thursday, as well as the personal consumption expenditure (PCE) data on Friday.
Money markets are fully pricing in a 25-basis-point Fed rate cut by September, according to CME's FedWatch data. FEDWATCH Lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion.
