Gold prices inch lower as focus turns to US inflation data
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


GOLD prices edged down on Tuesday (Jun 25), as investors await key US inflation data due this week that could offer fresh clues on how soon the Federal Reserve can cut interest rates.

Spot gold was down 0.1 per cent at US$2,329.64 per ounce, as at 0114 GMT. US gold futures also edged 0.1 per cent lower to US$2,342.

San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank president Mary Daly said on Monday she does not believe the US central bank should cut rates before policymakers are confident that inflation is headed towards 2 per cent.

Traders are looking out for the US core personal consumption expenditures price index report – the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation – due on Friday to get more cues on the timing and scale of rate cuts.

Investors also look forward to comments from Fed officials set to speak this week, including Fed governors Lisa Cook and Michelle Bowman.

Traders are currently pricing in about a 68 per cent chance of a Fed rate cut in September, according to CME FedWatch Tool.
