Gold prices extend a rebound after comments by U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh that lower expectations for interest-rate hikes this year. Across the reports, Warsh’s remarks are described as easing market speculation that the Fed will raise rates to address inflation pressures. Bloomberg and Financial Post both say gold holds or extends its gains following his speech, linking the move to reduced probability of near-term tightening. NDTV similarly reports that Warsh’s comments contribute to the improved tone for gold by tempering rate-hike outlooks. In addition to addressing the inflation environment, Warsh reiterates the Fed’s commitment to price stability and his goal of returning inflation to the 2% target. The sources present the price action as a reaction to Warsh’s communication about the Fed’s intentions, with traders interpreting the speech as reducing the urgency or timing of potential rate increases. Overall, the coverage focuses on Warsh’s language and the subsequent impact on expectations for Fed policy and gold’s market performance.
