Market Analysis: Gold Benefits from a Weaker Dollar and Investors Awaiting Key Data

Jinse Finance reported that gold prices rose due to a weaker US dollar and investors awaiting the release of key US economic data. New York gold futures rose 1.1% in early trading to $4,377.40 per ounce, while the US dollar index remained flat at 98.36. The November non-farm payroll report and Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data, which will be released later this week, will be closely watched for more clues about the Federal Reserve's policy outlook. FP Markets analyst Aaron Hill stated: "Currently, many people are focused on how quickly the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates next year." Gold typically benefits from a low interest rate environment. (Golden Ten Data)
