Gold prices are subdued as Tuesday's
European session begins, hovering close to the lower boundary of its daily
range, slightly above $2,320. Investors are increasingly convinced that the
Federal Reserve will postpone interest rate cuts due to persistent inflation, a
sentiment reinforced by Friday's release of the US Personal Consumption
Expenditures (PCE) Price Index.
Expectations of a hawkish stance from the Fed
are boosting demand for the US Dollar, consequently diverting investment away
from gold, which doesn't yield interest.
