Gold Rises with Dollar Weakness Amid Inflation Concerns
Gold prices rose as the US dollar weakened ahead of the release of US inflation data. The price of gold increased due to investors seeking safe-haven assets amid concerns over inflation and supply chain disruptions.
The move in gold prices came as the US dollar declined, making gold more attractive to investors. The dollar's weakness was also attributed to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, which has raised fears of supply disruptions.
Oil prices remained high, nearing $100 a barrel, due to concerns over supply shortages and the ongoing conflict in the region.
