🧐 Gold Rebounds Again

Gold prices rose 0.7% to $4,346.44 per ounce today, recovering after a nearly 2% drop in the previous session, as softer oil prices helped ease inflation concerns.

Investors are now watching the latest US consumer inflation data for clues on the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate path, with higher rates potentially weighing on gold.

Despite Friday’s rebound, bullion remained on track for a weekly loss, while buyers emerged around the key $4,300 support level.
