Fundamental Report: The personal consumption expenditures price index, considered the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, showed a 0.3% rise in January compared to December. Similarly, the core index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, saw a 0.4% increase. These figures aligned with economists’ expectations. Also, Initial Jobless Claims increased by 215K in the week ending February 24 according to the US Department of Labor (DoL) on Thursday. The prints came in short of initial estimates and followed a 202K gain in the previous week. In addition, Continuing Claims increased by 45K to 1.905M in the week ended February 17. Further details of the publication revealed that the advance seasonally adjusted insured unemployment rate was 1.3% (from 1.2%) and the 4-week moving average stood at 212.50K, a decrease of 3.000K from the previous week’s revised average. In addition, Continuing Claims increased by 45K to 1.905M in the week ended February 17. This reflects in Gold prices consolidating near four-week highs of $2,051, gathering pace for the next push higher. A renewed weakness in the US Dollar (USD) alongside the US Treasury bond yields is prompting Gold buyers to take a breather ahead of another top-tier US economic data in the ISM Manufacturing PMI due later on Friday.
