- Gold pared losses after US PPI data came in steady, which the Reuters headline notes strengthened expectations the Fed will hold rates.
- Gold prices face a next hurdle before any new bullish run as Fed rate-hike and inflation odds shift direction, according to CNBC and Yahoo Finance coverage.
Why it matters: Gold traders use the metal as both an inflation hedge and a barometer for Fed policy; tame inflation data and a firming rate-hold expectation give gold a near-term floor, while shifting rate-hike odds set up the next directional test for the metal.
