Overview
What happened Source facts
Gold prices climb above $4,400/oz to a more than two-month high as investors await US inflation data and reassess the Fed’s rate outlook Gold prices rose for a third consecutive session in Tuesday’s trading, reaching their highest levels in more than two months, as investors awaited US inflation data for further clues on the outlook for interest rates. Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index, which measures the performance of the US currency against a basket of six major currencies, was broadly stable at 99.81 points. Tony Sycamore, a market analyst at IG, said the rally was driven by a combination of investor buying amid fears of missing out following the previous decline below $4,000, short-covering, and renewed safe-haven inflows. He expects gold prices to reach $5,000 per ounce in the medium term, Reuters reported. Markets are awaiting the release of the US Consumer Price Index report on Wednesday, with annual inflation expected to slow to 3.4%. This follows weak July jobs data, which prompted investors to scale back their expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike next month. Changes in Prices of Selected Precious Metals Metal Price (USD/oz) Change (USD) Change (%) Gold (October delivery) 4,425.7 +38.6 +0.90% Gold (Spot) 4,399.32 +8.37 +0.20% Silver (September delivery) 65.63 +0.35 +0.55% Silver (Spot) 65.22 (0.53) (0.80%) Platinum (Spot) 1,758.10 +0.90 — Palladium (Spot) 1,383.28 (1.65) (0.10%) At 8:28 a.m. Makkah time.
