US EditionGold Price Today: Rates Fall Ahead of Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole Speech; Experts Highlight Key MCX Levels to Watch
Investors anticipate Powell's speech amid 85% odds of a September rate cut as recent data and Fed minutes fuel speculation on monetary policy shifts.

- IPO activity may accelerate, with potential listings such as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic poised to go public, while the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act's full-expensing provision may boost capex and US GDP, though the 18.6% US effective tariff rate could complicate PMI readings.
