Gold held above $4,400 as dollar moves, yields, and China buying stayed in focus

Gold closed at $4,414.90/oz, modestly higher, with several outlets pointing to a tug-of-war between a weaker U.S. dollar and firmer rate expectations ahead of U.S. inflation data. China’s reported central-bank buying and ongoing geopolitical headlines also stayed central to today’s narrative.
