Gold Holds Gains as Inflation, Central Bank Stimulus in Focus By Bloomberg – Investing.com
(Bloomberg) -- Gold held gains as investors await a key U.S. inflation report due later this week for clues on when the Federal Reserve may begin to talk about tapering its asset purchases.
Bullion rose 1.5% over the past two days as traders assessed a smaller-than-expected gain in U.S. payrolls as well as comments from Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen saying that higher interest rates would be a “plus” for America and the Fed, which weighed on the dollar.
Gold is holding close to $1,900 an ounce amid rising price pressures and speculation that central banks may eventually pare back stimulus as the global economy recovers from the pandemic. Thursday will bring the European Central Bank's decision, as well as the U.S. CPI report which will be one of the last major economic indicators before the Fed's next policy meeting June 15-16.
