Gold prices edged higher on Wednesday, possibly experiencing a technical rebound. Previously, near-month gold futures fell 2.8% overnight, dropping to a two-week low. Konstantinos Chrysikos, Head of Client Relationship Management at Kudotrade, stated that reduced liquidity amid major market closures due to holidays may intensify short-term price fluctuations. However, the broader outlook for gold remains largely unchanged. He pointed out that although diplomatic channels in Eastern Europe and the Middle East are active, no actual agreements have been reached in these two regions, which maintains geopolitical risks and demand for precious metals.

According to data from the US Department of the Treasury, in the 12 months ending July this year, overseas investors made net purchases of US stocks totaling $942 billion, marking the highest rolling 12-month total since records began in 1985. The net purchases in the second quarter alone reached $426 billion, setting a new single-quarter record. Meanwhile, overseas demand for US Treasuries has noticeably cooled, with purchase volumes falling significantly. As a result, the US is facing higher costs in government debt financing.
