what happened
According to Newsmetry API, spot gold fell 0.2% in early Asian trading to $4,163.71 an ounce. Investors were largely waiting for major U.S. bank earnings and inflation data due this week before taking a stronger market view.
Peter A. Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals, wrote in a note that the U.S. Consumer Price Index will provide clues about the Federal Reserve’s next interest-rate decision. Traders will also examine other U.S. economic releases and a busy schedule of Fed speakers to assess the chances of additional rate increases this year.
Higher interest rates generally reduce the appeal of precious metals because they do not pay interest.
why it matters
The inflation figures, bank results and comments from Fed officials may shape expectations for interest rates, an important factor for demand for non-yielding gold.
