Gold Hits Two-Month High Before Profit-Taking Amid US Inflation and Geopolitical Concerns
Gold prices rose to a two-month high following US inflation data showing a slight cooling, which reduced expectations of an imminent Federal Reserve rate hike. This supported safe-haven demand amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, while investors awaited US Producer Price Index data for further inflation clues. After a seven-session rally, gold and silver prices declined due to profit-taking and a firm US dollar. Crude oil prices fell amid lower global demand forecasts and regional tensions near the Strait of Hormuz.
