Today, the global gold market saw some ups and downs. Spot gold prices dropped to $1,908.2 per ounce, and futures settled at $1,932.5 per ounce. This was influenced by recent U.S. inflation data.
Specifically, the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for August showed a 3.7% increase compared to the previous year, and the core CPI (excluding food and energy) rose by 4.3%. These numbers exceeded expectations and raised concerns about inflation.
Impact on Gold:
Interest Rates: Higher CPI data has made people think the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) might raise interest rates sooner than expected. Gold tends to react to interest rate changes because higher rates can make gold less attractive compared to other investments. Trading Strategy:
