Monday saw gold prices set to achieve their most substantial monthly increase in four months. This boost was driven by mounting speculations that major central banks are approaching the conclusion of their ongoing monetary policy tightening measures in their battle against inflation.
At 0110 GMT, spot gold dipped 0.2% to $1,956.02 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures declined 0.3% to $1,955.40 per ounce.

Expectations of a potential peak in U.S. interest rates have boosted gold prices, leading to a monthly gain of approximately 2%, the highest since March. This trend has also contributed to the dollar (DXY) heading for its second consecutive monthly decline.
