➡️This morning, the global gold price experienced a reversal, declining in response to the recent announcement from the US economy. The October Producer Price Index (PPI) reported a significant decrease, showing a 1.3% increase over the same period last year. This figure was notably lower than the anticipated 1.9%, and it marked a decline from the 2.2% increase observed in the previous month.
➡️The PPI index, a key metric reflecting changes in prices of goods sold by manufacturers, serves as a leading indicator for overall consumer price inflation. This suggests a forthcoming decrease in Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation in the United States. The effective implementation of the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy tightening is expected to persist.
➡️Earlier, on November 14, the US disclosed that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for October exhibited a 3.2% increase compared to the same period last year. This represented a more significant decline from September's 3.7% increase and was slightly below the projected 3.3%. Notably, this marks the lowest level since March 2021.
