Gold rebounds above $4,126 as buyers weigh Fed minutes vs central-bank demand

Gold and silver finished higher, helped by a softer dollar and renewed focus on central-bank demand, even as reports noted less confidence in near-term U.S. rate cuts. Today’s Fed minutes highlighted weaker jobs but rising inflation worries and division on a December cut, keeping the rates backdrop mixed.
