Gold prices are likely to trade lower, weighed down by a stronger US dollar and rising treasury yields, as investors await a key inflation report to assess US Federal Reserve's policy path, Prathamesh Mallya, DVP (Research) of Non-Agri Commodities and Currencies, Angel One said.
"Comex Gold prices declined by over 1% in the previous session as investors booked profits, with a stronger U.S. dollar weighing on the metal’s appeal. Market participants are now focused on the upcoming Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, for further insights into the U.S. economic outlook," as per a report by Axis Securities.
