Gold Inches Higher Awaiting Jackson Hole Speech -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/08/27 18:171417 ET - Gold futures edge up in a steady session with the market awaiting tomorrow's comments by Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh at Jackson Hole. "A balanced tone could support gold, while hawkish remarks may lift yields and pressure the metal," Konstantinos Chrysikos of Kudo.com says in a note. "Markets will also watch any shifts in geopolitical developments in the Middle East and their impact on oil prices and inflation expectations." Front month gold settles up 0.25% at $4,609.70 a troy ounce. Silver rises 2.1% to $69.429 a troy ounce. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
