Gold slips below $4,400 as cooling US inflation boosts Fed hold expectations
AI Market Summary
Gold slipped below the $4,400 level after softer-than-expected US July wholesale inflation reduced the market's perceived odds of a September Fed hike. While a near-term hold can support non-yielding bullion, expectations for rates to stay elevated longer increases the relative appeal of bonds and pressures precious metals. Silver, platinum and palladium also declined, while the dollar index was little changed.
