Analyst: The U.S. government shutdown could make it possible for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates further in December.
Jin10 Data, November 11th: Peter Cardillo of Spartan Capital Securities stated that gold futures rose as the expected end of the U.S. government shutdown will allow government data to resume normal release schedules. This could make a further interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December possible. "Once the government reopens, the previously unpublished macroeconomic data flow may indicate that inflation remains stubborn and that the labor market conditions are weaker than what the ADP report shows," he added. "These two factors could prompt the Fed to cut rates in December, despite their repeated cautious rhetoric."
