Gold prices fell amid falling US government bond yields and a strong USD. The 10-year US government bond achieved a yield of 4.4% and decreased nearly 4 basis points compared to the opening level. The USD index (DXY), which tracks the movement of the USD against 6 other currencies, is currently down 0.03% to 105.00 and is struggling here.
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the PPI Index increased 0.5% over the previous month, surpassing the forecast for a 0.3% increase. Similarly, the core PPI index, excluding food and energy prices, also increased by 0.5%, exceeding the expected level of 0.2%. Both figures were significantly higher than the 0.1% decline in March in both global and core inflation, indicating a jump in producer prices.
April CPI is expected to remain unchanged compared to March at 0.4% month-on-month. Core CPI is expected to continue its downward trend from 0.4% in March to 0.3% month-on-month.

The Fed released its monthly consumer expectations survey on Monday, showing inflation expectations for the year rising to 3.3% from 3% in March. The data came after a sentiment poll. University of Michigan consumer survey shows one-year inflation expectations rising from 3.2% to 3.5%.
Forecasts for an interest rate cut by the end of the year remain at 35 basis points, according to data provided by Chicago's CBOT exchange.
