⚡️The yellow metal saw some gains in recent sessions as strong inflation and economic activity data failed to convince markets that a U.S. interest rate hike was imminent. But gains were also limited as the dollar raced to six-month highs on the data.
⚡️Bullion prices are also expected to see some safe haven demand amid concerns over a U.S. government shutdown, as top Republican lawmakers spar over defense spending and broader fiscal spending cuts.
