Fluctuations in prices
The US released inflation data late Wednesday evening, which stood at 8.3% in April. Although this is the lowest level of inflation since August 2021, but it is much higher than the economist's estimates. Seeing the level of inflation up, investors have been apprehensive that the Fed may increase interest rates even further.
Due to this fear, investors are taking their money out of the market and investing it in gold, because the yellow metal is considered a haven asset for investment. Earlier, the Fed Reserve raised its interest rates by 0.50% in early May. Along with this, indications were also given to increase further in the future. This increase in interest rates is the highest in 22-year history of the United States.
