Gold Prices Surge Amid Softer Inflation Expectations
Gold prices settled at ?154,506 on Wednesday, up 0.68% from Tuesday's close, as a weaker US dollar and softer expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike buoyed the market.
The move comes after US CPI inflation eased to 3.4% year-on-year in July from 3.5% in June, marking the second consecutive month of cooling annual inflation.
However, Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee highlighted persistent inflation concerns, potentially limiting gold's upside.
