Gold prices fell to around $1,900 an ounce on Wednesday, sliding for the third straight session as the dollar rebounded from recent lows, while bets for a slower pace of interest rate hikes from the US Federal Reserve limited the losses.
Latest data showed that US consumer inflation eased further to 6.5% in December, signaling that prices may have peaked at 9.1% in June and bolstering expectations that the Fed will downshift to a smaller 25 basis point rate increase at its February meeting.
Investors now look ahead to US producer inflation and retail sales data due later on Wednesday that could provide more clues on the US central bank’s policy tightening path.
Gold is highly sensitive to the rates outlook as higher interest rates raise the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion, and vice versa
