Earlier, gold prices remained steady on Friday as they appeared set to log their first weekly decline in four as investors lowered expectations of a U.S. interest rate cut after data over the week showed bubbling price pressures, according to Reuters report.
Spot gold was little changed at $2,159.99 per ounce, as of 2:42 p.m. EDT (1842 GMT). Bullion lost 0.8% for the week, in its first weekly decline since mid-February after hitting a record high of $2,194.99 last week. U.S. gold futures settled 0.3% lower at $2,161.5. Data this week showed U.S. consumer prices increased above expectations in February and producer prices also showed some stickiness in inflation, added Reuters report.
“Gold has already priced in whatever positive boost it would get from expectations that interest rates are going down… if inflation starts to kick higher again, it means that policymakers are going to have to keep monetary policy more restrictive for longer,” said Everett Millman, chief market analyst at Gainesville Coins, stated Reuters report.
