This evening, the United States released its PCE Inflation data at 20:30 WIB, with the year-on-year PCE Inflation recorded at 2.8%, aligning with forecasts published by Trading Central. This figure remains unchanged from the previous period, indicating that inflationary pressures are stabilizing in the United States. Market participants had previously anticipated this figure as a significant factor that could influence the future monetary policy direction of the Federal Reserve.

Following the announcement of this data, gold prices exhibited volatile movements. Market reactions reflected uncertainty regarding the long-term impact of this data on US interest rate policies. If inflation remains under control, the Federal Reserve might consider a more dovish approach, which could support an increase in gold prices.
