Gold maintains a moderate positive tone after soft US inflation
Saturday, 21 December 2024 03:08 WIB | GOLD |GOLD

Gold (XAU/USD) is trading with a moderate positive tone on Friday following the sharp sell-off earlier this week. Cooler-than-expected US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index data on Friday has increased selling pressure on the US Dollar, although the precious metal is struggling to put a significant distance from the one-month lows hit this week.

PCE Inflation has increased 0.1% in November, against expectations of a 0.2% increment. The yearly rate accelerated to 2.4% from the previous month's 2.3% reading, still below the 2.5% anticipated by the market consensus. Likewise, the Core PCE eased to 0.1% from 0.3% in October while the yearly inflation remained steady at 2,8% against market expectations of an uptick to 2.9%.

On Thursday, an upward revision to the third quarter's US Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and the lower-than-expected Jobless claims have endorsed the Federal Reserve's (Fed) hawkish stance for 2025.(Cay) Newsmaker23
