US gold futures eased 0.1 percent to $2,666.40.
Powell is scheduled to speak later in the day in what is expected to be his last public remarks before the Fed’s December meeting.
The primary factor behind gold’s lacklustre movement is that markets anticipated a much shallower US rate cut cycle for 2025, said Kelvin Wong, OANDA’s senior market analyst for Asia Pacific. – Reuters
