Bullion Markets Eye US Inflation Data Amid Rate Speculation
The bullion markets are expected to remain volatile this week as investors weigh US inflation data against changing expectations for interest rates.
US inflation numbers will be a key trigger for bullion markets, said Pranav Mer, senior vice president of EBG - commodity & currency research at JM Financial Services Ltd. He noted that the outlook comes after both precious metals ended lower last week.
The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for August 2026 is due on September 11, and markets are already seeing considerable speculation around the global interest rate outlook.
Crude oil prices and geopolitical developments in the Middle East will also influence bullion markets this week.
