Overview
What happened Source facts
Gold bars Gold prices rose on Wednesday as investors awaited US economic data for clues on the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy outlook. The dollar index, which tracks the US currency against a basket of six major currencies, edged down 0.1% to 102.10. Ilya Spivak, Head of Global Macro at Tastylive, said upcoming consumer price index, producer price index and retail sales data could support gold if they point to slowing US economic momentum, prompting markets to scale back expectations for further interest rate hikes this year. New York Fed President John Williams reiterated his view that the US central bank may need to hike interest rates again this year to bring inflation down, Reuters reported. The US consumer price index report is due later today, followed by producer price index and retail sales data tomorrow, Oct. 15.
