Gold futures rise, finding some support after a volatile month. Futures are up 0.3% at $2,646.60 a troy ounce.
The precious metal has gained as the U.S. Federal Reserve appears likely to continue interest-rate cuts at its December meeting, ING analysts write. The CME's Fed watch tool shows the market is currently pricing in a 68% chance of a 25-basis-point cut, up from around 56% a week ago.
Lower interest rates typically boost the appeal of non-interest bearing bullion. On the other hand, Wednesday's inflation numbers were on the higher side, which could weaken the case for further rate cuts, ING says.
Medium-term, some uncertainty still persists in the Middle East and Europe even after the Israel-Lebanon cease-fire deal, which could keep safe-haven demand for gold consistent, ING adds.
