Fed officials are playing a central role in containing gold's momentum, Forexlive.com chief currency strategist Adam Button said.
The slowdown in inflation was the main signal of last week's macroeconomic data. Nevertheless, Federal Reserve speakers continued to oppose the idea of a potential Fed reversal.
The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) stood at 8.5% in July, below market expectations of 8.7% after a 9.1% YoY increase in June. Core inflation, excluding food and energy price volatility, accelerated 5.9% year-on-year.
In addition, the US Producer Price Index (PPI) rose more slowly in July, at an annualized rate of 9.8% against the expected 10.4%.
However, despite signs of a slowdown in inflation, the Fed remains firmly on the course of tightening.
According to Adrian Day Asset Management President Adrian Day, the market is gradually realizing that the Fed cannot significantly reduce inflation without triggering a recession. This is positive for gold.
The price of gold shows the fourth weekly increase.
