Traders eye US PPI 

“Gold prices held near their highest levels in more than a week as comments from US Federal Reserve officials suggested that a recent surge in Treasury yields might reduce the need for more rate hikes, sending the dollar lower. The dollar dipped to a nearly two-week trough against its major crosses below the 106 mark tracking the slide in US Treasury yields after dovish comments from several Fed officials,” said Manav Modi, Analyst- Commodity and currency, Motilal Oswal Financial Services. 

“IMF in their world economic outlook report kept the global growth expectations unchanged for 2023 at 3% and lowered by 0.1% for  2024. Conflict between Israel and Hamas increased, as Israel in their counter attack declared complete siege on Gaza. Along with these attacks any escalation in this ongoing unrest from another country could continue to support gold prices on lower levels. Focus today will be on US PPI and comments from a few Fed officials,” Manav Modi added.
