Gold experienced a late surge in its value on Thursday and Friday, resulting in a weekly closure at the level of 2359. Previously, it had been on a downward trajectory, hovering around 2277 after stepping back from its peak at 2431. Despite attempts to break through trendline resistance, the precious metal faced difficulty, leading to a decline in its value by the end of trading on Friday.
Furthermore, gold is expected to react to the latest inflation data from the United States, as it typically influences US Treasury yields, expectations regarding interest rates, and the strength of the US dollar. Supporters of gold will be optimistic for softer Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, which could drive the metal's value upwards and potentially lead to a retest of its all-time high.
