Gold logs nearly 2% weekly drop as Fed hike expectations build
AI Market Summary
Hotter US inflation data and a sharp crude-driven rise in inflation expectations lifted Treasury yields and increased perceived odds of a near-term Fed hike, pressuring non-yielding precious metals. Gold posted a roughly 2% weekly decline as higher real-rate and USD support outweighed safe-haven demand, while oil's rally reinforced the inflation impulse. The setup keeps gold sensitive to incoming inflation and rates pricing.

The US August CPI rose 3.4% year on year, while higher energy costs further reduced gold’s appeal.
