Gold Price Forecast: PPI and Oil Prices Fuel Inflation Concerns, Can CPI Change Gold's Direction?
TradingKey - As of the Asian trading session on September 11, gold prices (XAUUSD) maintained a weak consolidation today, trading near $4,320, after dropping sharply to around $4,300 on Thursday. The U.S. August PPI data released showed a rebound in producer price pressures, while international oil prices surged over 7% in a single day, pushing U.S. Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar higher in tandem. Markets are currently awaiting tonight's August CPI release to further gauge whether the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates next week.
