The precious metals market is quite quiet with thin liquidity, affected by concerns about the US Federal Reserve's (FED) interest rate adjustment roadmap.

As of 1:30 this morning, silver prices fell 0.87% to $28.8/ounce, while platinum prices also lost 0.23% to $930.1/ounce. The fluctuations of this group of precious metals mainly stemmed from the uncertainty about the Fed's interest rate outlook.

Data released over the weekend showed that the US inflation rate is slowing down. Specifically, the US personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index and core PCE remained unchanged from the previous month, at 2.5% and 2.6%, respectively, in July. This is contrary to the expectations of many investors that inflation will continue to cool down.

The stubbornness of US inflation has investors worried that the Fed may be more cautious in cutting interest rates. Instead of cutting 50 basis points as previously forecast, the Fed is likely to only cut 25 basis points at its September meeting.

For a clearer picture of the Fed's upcoming monetary policy decision, the market is turning its attention to the US non-farm payrolls report due on Friday (September 6). If the report shows the labor market remains hot, it will reinforce the view that the Fed needs to keep interest rates higher for longer.

Conversely, if the jobs report shows signs of weakness, this could pave the way for the Fed to implement more aggressive monetary easing measures, thereby supporting precious metal prices to rise again.

In short, the precious metals market is experiencing an unpredictable period of volatility due to the impact of conflicting information on inflation and the FED's monetary policy. Investors need to closely monitor market developments to make appropriate investment decisions.
