Fundamental Report: The Gold prices, last week, responded to several U.S. economic reports, including the Consumer Price Index , retail sales, and the Producer Price Index . These reports had varied impacts on the probability of a Federal Reserve rate reduction, affecting Treasury yields, the US Dollar, and dollar-denominated gold. Changes in gold prices was largely due to strong inflation data, which reduced the likelihood of a near-term rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The dollar index rose over the week, and the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield also increased, reducing gold’s appeal. Reports showed an unexpected rise in U.S. producer prices in January, reinforcing the expectation of continued high-interest rates. Although gold is typically seen as a protection against inflation, the prospect of higher rates reduces its appeal, as gold does not yield interest. U.S. economic growth remains strong, indicating ongoing inflation, which is a challenging factor for gold. Market expectations for a U.S. interest rate reduction have shifted from March to June, with a 73% likelihood of a cut in June, according to the CME Fed Watch Tool.
