- Gold snapped a four-day advance in afternoon trade as Treasury yields eased and crude oil prices dropped, per Kitco's PM Report.
- Gold had climbed to a two-month peak earlier in the session before the inflation-led rally lost steam, according to CNBC.
- Gold firmed on a weaker US dollar as fresh inflation data cemented expectations the Federal Reserve would hold interest rates steady.
- Gold prices must clear a key technical hurdle before another bullish run can resume, Yahoo Finance reported.
Why it matters: Gold traders had ridden a four-day, inflation-driven rally to a two-month high — worth monitoring because a reversal on easing yields and falling oil undercuts the safe-haven and inflation-hedge narrative that fueled the run, leaving the next directional cue dependent on tomorrow's rate-hold confirmation from the Fed.
