- Gold edged higher as expectations of further Fed rate hikes faded and traders turned their focus to upcoming US inflation data, according to Reuters.
- Gold held its gains after soft US jobs data eased rate-hike concerns, per Bloomberg, while FOREX.com framed the move as a breakout consolidating — not yet fully confirmed as a sustained rally.
Why it matters: With rate-hike expectations cooling on softer US labor data, gold has reclaimed momentum — but the upcoming US inflation print will determine whether the breakout extends or stalls, giving rate-sensitive traders a single decisive catalyst to watch.
