The US Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, fell 0.6% to 101.93, heading for its first weekly decline in five weeks. According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, traders are pricing in a 28% probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates later this month and an 89% probability of a rate hike in December. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee described this week's inflation data, which came in stronger than expected, as “disappointing,” Reuters reported. <div > <table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr > <td colspan="4" > Precious metals prices in futures and spot markets </td> </tr> <tr > <td > Metal </td> <td > Price (USD/oz) </td> <td > Change (USD) </td> <td > Change (%) </td> </tr> <tr > <td > Gold (December delivery) </td> <td > 4,193.80 </td> <td > +23.70 </td> <td > +0.55% </td> </tr> <tr > <td > Spot Gold </td> <td > 4,174.21 </td> <td > +2.77 </td> <td > -- </td> </tr> <tr > <td > Silver (December delivery) </td> <td > 57.92 </td> <td > +0.76 </td> <td > +1.35% </td> </tr> <tr > <td > Spot Silver </td> <td > 57.7637 </td> <td > +0.36 </td> <td > +0.65% </td> </tr> <tr > <td > Spot Platinum </td> <td > 1,640.98 </td> <td > +9.31 </td> <td > +0.55% </td> </tr> <tr > <td > Spot Palladium </td> <td > 1,141.30 </td> <td > +9.73 </td> <td > +0.85% </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div >*At 08:18 am KSA time.</div> </div>
