Gold prices retreated on Tuesday, 21^st February 2023, as the dollar strengthened and U.S. bond yields rose, with markets turning their attention to U.S. economic data later in the week for more clues about the Fed’s path to rate hikes. 

The focus this week will be on the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) minutes from its January meeting to be released on Wednesday, with recent strong U.S. economic readings raising bets on further Fed rate hikes. 

Money market participants believe the indicator rate will peak at 5.3% in July and will remain near that level throughout the year.
