The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+), including Russia, agreed to raise their output targets by 188,000 barrels a day starting in August.

This is in addition to the similar increases made for June and July.

“With the August increase now decided, they will have fully unwound the 2023 cut if they make one more hike of around the same size for September at their next meeting on August 2,” per Reuters.

Gold Price Forecast: Can Gold Keep Rising as Fed Rate Hike Expectations Heat Up and US-Iran Conflict Escalates?

TradingKey - As of the Asian session on August 31, gold prices (XAUUSD) extended Friday's decline, briefly dipping below $4,400 intraday to hit a low of $4,396.36. Last Friday, gold closed down more than 3% as hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh at the Jackson Hole symposium significantly boosted expectations for a September rate hike. Meanwhile, the escalation of the US-Iran military conflict over the weekend and rising international oil prices have further heightened inflation concerns, placing heavy pressure on gold's upward trajectory. However, technical analysis suggests that gold still has potential for upside gains.
