Currently, traders estimate a 67% probability of a Fed rate cut in September. This expectation is influencing market sentiment and boosting gold prices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent data shows that U.S. job openings increased in May, following significant declines in the two preceding months. Although the labour market conditions are easing, the trend appears stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You might be interested: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/analysis\/us-dollar-slips-as-inflation-data-points-to-rate-cuts\/\">US dollar slips as inflation data points to rate cuts&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The minutes from the Fed&#8217;s June policy meeting, expected at 1800 GMT, are highly anticipated for further clues on the economic outlook. Additionally, jobs data, including ADP employment figures, weekly jobless claims, and non-farm payrolls, are due later in the week and will provide more context for the Fed&#8217;s decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Precious metals see mixed performance amid platinum strike<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the broader precious metals market, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/market_analysis\/silver-shines-bright-as-the-best-performing-commodity-of-2024\/\">spot silver<\/a> rose by 0.2% to $29.56 per ounce, platinum added 0.6% to reach $996.64, while palladium decreased by 0.8% to $978.80. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SABCNews\/status\/1808115159606432185\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">South Africa&#8217;s Impala Platinum reported a strike at its recently acquired Bafokeng operations in Rustenburg,<\/a> primarily involving contractors demanding permanent positions.

The increase in silver prices aligns with gold&#8217;s upward trend, often seen as a cheaper alternative to gold.
