GOLD reduced during the weekend trading session

١٨ نوفمبر ٢٠٢٣

Gold prices opened the session higher thanks to the decrease in the USD index and US Treasury bond interest rates. This is motivating investors to actively buy gold during the uptrend to make profits. According to statistics, the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits increased more than expected, which helps the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) fight against inflation.

Newly released data shows that US producer prices have fallen the most in the past 3 years, while US consumer prices have remained unchanged over the past 10 months. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the gold market is pricing in a nearly 100% chance that the US Central Bank will keep interest rates unchanged in December. Gold is considered an inflation hedge. Interest rates remain high, reducing the appeal of gold bars.
