Gold inches up near two-month high as markets await US inflation data
Gold is firm near a two-month high as markets await US CPI and PPI for confirmation that disinflation is continuing. Softer US jobs data has reduced near-term Fed tightening expectations, improving the relative appeal of non-yielding bullion, while geopolitical headlines and elevated oil add to hedging demand. Other precious metals are softer, suggesting the move is primarily gold-specific positioning into macro data.
