Gold hits highest since May 14 as Treasury buyback news lifts prices

AI Market Summary
Gold extended its rally after the U.S. Treasury's expanded buyback operations supported longer-dated bonds, reinforcing expectations for softer real yields. Markets are now focused on U.S. PCE inflation and the Fed Chair's Jackson Hole speech for rate guidance, key inputs for bullion's opportunity cost. Citi's higher near-term target and a less hawkish Fed narrative further underpin near-term demand.
