    Gold drops after inflation data, trade concerns loom

    Spot gold eased 0.2% to $2,893.87 per ounce as of 09:58 a.m. ET (1458 GMT). U.S. gold futures fell 0.4% to $2,920.60.

    Prices dropped over 1% after data showed the U.S. consumer price index jumped 0.5% last month, more than expected, reinforcing the Fed message that it was in no rush to resume cutting interest rates amid growing uncertainty over the economy.

    “With today’s CPI data coming in hotter-than-expected, that has put weight on the gold market. Obviously at this point, any expectation that the market would have had of any type of rate cut later this year has now been put down,” said David Meger, director of metals trading at High Ridge Futures.

    Spot silver shed 0.7% to $32.05 per ounce and palladium fell 0.3% to $973.11, while platinum added 0.7% to $990.10.

    Bitcoin Lags Behind Gold

    Bitcoin has gained just over 3% year-to-date, trailing gold’s 9% jump, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The precious metal reached a record high of $2,882 an ounce after President Trump on Feb. 4 said the US could take over Gaza — a comment his aides sought to tone down. Bitcoin is currently about 10% below its peak.

    Michael Oliver says Gold’s Making All-Time Highs, SILVER To Follow

    “I think that once you punch a hole in the stock market… you’re going to have a lot of that money moving,” he predicted, suggesting that a 5-10% drop could trigger a significant shift in investor sentiment, driving capital towards safer havens like gold and silver.

    Silver didn’t move with commodities in moved with gold,” he asserted, countering arguments that silver has lost its monetary significance.

    Silver Continues to Pressure Upside

    During the trading on Friday, we saw the silver market initially dip, only to turn around and show signs of strength yet again. Because of this, I think the market is likely to continue to be bullish.

    In general, this is a market that’s been in an uptrend for quite some time and if we are in fact going to continue to see inflationary issues, things like silver, commodities and stuff could get a little bit of a bid. We’ll just have to wait and see.
