Gold prices rebounded thanks to Middle East geopolitical tensions and US GDP figures missing estimates.
During the February 27 session, gold prices increased sharply from $2,024 to $2,037 as geopolitical tensions increased and US GDP figures were lower than expected. However, precious metals have not been able to extend their upward momentum in the context that investors remain cautious before today's US inflation data.
Today, the market will receive the core PCE report - the Fed's favorite inflation measure. In case the data rises higher than expected, the market will continue to lower the valuation of the Fed's interest rate cut, thereby putting pressure on gold. Currently, gold is rising to $2,034.
