Update: Gold Rises as the Dollar and Yields Fall After a Report Showed U.S. Inflation Continues to Run Hot

(Updates prices.)Gold traded higher midafternoon Thursday as the dollar dropped after a report showed a key U.S. inflation measure rose last month while first-quarter gross domestic product rose less than expected.Gold for June delivery was last seen up US$71.30 to US$4,632.80 per ounce, remaining within the US$200 range it has traded within for the past month.The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported the March Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure, rose 0.7% in March from the prior month, up from 0.4% fin February, but matching expectations according to Marketwatch. Core PCE, excluding volatile food and energy, rose 3.2% annualized, up from 3.0% in February and again matching expectations.The bureau also issued its first estimate of first-quarter U.S. GDP growth, reporting the measure rose at a 2.0% pace, up from 0.5% in the prior quarter and under expectations for a 2.2% rise.Gold's gain comes despite expectations higher interest rates are on the way as the war on Iran pushes up inflation. The Federal Reserve's policy committee on Wednesday ended its two-day meeting on Wednesday leaving rates unchanged, but signaled hikes may be on the horizon as inflation climbs."Gold has attracted fresh demand despite rising bond yields and a firmer dollar following Wednesday's FOMC meeting, where rates were left unchanged, but several members signalled a desire to remove the easing bias as the Iran war continues to cloud the economic outlook," Saxo Bank wrote.Still, the dollar was sharply lower early following the economic data, with the ICE dollar index last seen down 0.81 points to 98.15. Treasury yields also fell, with the yield on the U.S. two-year note last seen down 7.1 basis points to 3.894%, while the 10-year note was paying 4.397%, down 3.7 points.

Update: Gold Steady as the Dollar Eases on a Report Iran is Ready to Resume Talks With the U.S.

(Updates prices.)Gold was steady early on Friday as the dollar and yields eased following a report that Iran is ready to resume negotiations with the United States to end the war.Gold for May delivery was last seen up US$12.80 to US$4,76.80 per ounce.Bloomberg News reported Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and a team of negotiators are expected to arrive in Islamabad late on Friday. The Wall Street Journal said U.S negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will travel the Pakistan capital for the talks.A deal between the two nations would likely lower oil prices and ease fears the supply shock that followed the closure of the Strait of Hormuz would hike inflation and force central banks to raise interest rates. The threat of higher rates has pushed investors to the dollar and bonds, leaving gold rangebound. The metal has traded within a US$200 band since the start of the conflict.The dollar was lower, with the ICE dollar index last seen down 0.2 points to 98.57. Treasury yields were down, with the yield on the U.S. two-year note down 5.7 basis points to 3.789%, while the 10-year note was paying 4.312%, down 1.6 points.

Update: Gold Steadies Early Along With the Dollar and Yields

(Updates prices.)Gold prices were lower midafternoon on Thursday, remaining rangebound amid concerns high oil prices will push up inflation and force hikes to interest rates.Gold for June delivery was last seen down US$34.00 to US$4,719.00 per ounce.Gold has traded within a US$200 range since the start of the month despite the geopolitical turmoil that followed the Feb.28 start to the war on Iran. While the metal has a reputation as a store of value in turbulent times, traders have instead turned to bonds and the dollar to fend off the threat of higher interest rates as surging oil prices push inflation higher, keeping the metal rangebound."After a deep decline in March, April has been about stabilization for gold. While we get the sense that investors remain tactical, the tone of our conversations has been one of optimism. The all-time highs looked to many in the institutional space as overstretched, speculative, and perhaps overleveraged. After the decline and weakness last month, the view is that gold is closer to its fundamentals (i.e., macro-drivers plus uncertainty) than previously," Christopher Louney, a gold and natural gas strategist at RBC Capital Markets, wrote.The dollar rose, with the ICE dollar index last seen up 0.32 points to 98.91.

Update: Gold Trading Higher as the U.S. Extends as Ceasefire for Its War on Iran

(Updates prices.)Gold traded higher midafternoon Wednesday following two losing sessions after the United States extended a ceasefire related to its war on Iran.Gold for June delivery was last seen up US$35.70 to US$4,755.30 per ounce.The rise comes as U.S. President Trump on Tuesday extended a ceasefire due to expire today. The move comes as Iran refused to resume talks to end the war until the U.S. Navy ends a blockade of its ports. While the standoff continues, oil prices remain under US$100 per barrel, lowering fears high oil prices while result in surging inflation and rising interest rates."Gold trades firmer after a two-day decline, as Trump's extension of the ceasefire reduces the immediate risk of military escalation -- and with it the threat of a further inflationary oil price spike -- while also weighing on the dollar," Saxo Bank noted.The dollar edged higher, with the ICE dollar index last seen up 0.15 points to 98.55. Treasury yields were mixed, with the U.S. two-year note last seen paying 3.802%, up 2.3 basis points, while the yield on the 10-year note was down 0.1 points to 4.298%.
