Gold prices continuously touch record highs ahead of US inflation data on Wednesday, which is an important basis for determining the upcoming direction of interest rates.
Gold prices are currently reaching nearly 2,340 USD/oz at the beginning of today's Asian session, after closing the Monday session up 0.4%. According to forecasts of economists in a Bloomberg survey, the March CPI report will likely show signs of cooling inflation and this scenario will create conditions for the Fed to cut interest rates.
The economic calendar is devoid of any prominent economic events as the market awaits US CPI data tomorrow. Currently, gold is rising to $2,345.
