Gold hits two-week high in the run-up to US inflation data
Wednesday, 11 December 2024 02:12 WIB | GOLD |GOLDEMAS

Gold prices hit a two-week high on Tuesday, underpinned by rising geopolitical tensions and expectations of a third U.S. rate cut by the Federal Reserve next week, while the market's gaze shifted to Wednesday's U.S. inflation data.

Spot gold was up 1.3% at $2,692.32 per ounce at 01:41 p.m. ET (1841 GMT). U.S. gold futures settled 1.2% higher at $2,718.40.

The spotlight is moving to the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Wednesday, which is expected to rise by 0.3% in November, according to a Reuters poll, and the Producer Price Index (PPI) on Thursday, both pivotal in shaping the Fed's rate-cut decisions.

With two U.S. rate cuts so far this year, traders predict an 86% chance of a further 25-basis-point cut at the Fed's Dec. 17-18 meeting, according to the CME FedWatch tool, opens new tab.

Spot silver added 0.7% to $32.04 per ounce, platinum rose 0.5% to $940.90 and palladium was down 0.4% at $969.52.
