Global gold prices rose again on Thursday (September 10) due to the depreciation of the US dollar. Meanwhile, investors are closely watching the upcoming US inflation data, which will shape the Federal Reserve’s future interest rate trajectory and provide new direction for the gold market.
According to a Reuters report, spot gold prices rose by 0.3 percent to $4,414.28 per ounce at 4:19 PM Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) on Thursday. Conversely, US gold futures for December delivery slightly decreased to $4,457.20 per ounce.
Market analysts suggest that all eyes are now on the new US inflation statistics. This data could influence the Fed to either cut or maintain interest rates, which would consequently impact the gold market.
