Amid concerns about inflation and hopes for a Federal Reserve rate cut easing, gold prices edged lower in early trading. Spot gold fell 0.2% to $1,644.51 per ounce. Antonio Di Giacomo, senior market analyst at XS.com, said in an email, “Since the end of February, oil prices have surged over 40%-50%, intensifying the impact of global inflation.” The analyst added, “Additionally, the Fed’s messaging has been very clear: rate cuts will be limited and gradual.” He further noted, “Therefore, gold is facing a less favorable environment.”
