Gold prices (XAUUSD:CUR) experienced a slight dip, following a 2.5% uptick last week, impacted by diminished rate cut prospects from the Federal Reserve. Conversely, oil prices observed a rise, with traders closely monitoring demand-supply dynamics.

Market sentiment now leans toward the Federal Reserve commencing its rate cut cycle come September.
