Metal by metal

Gold $4,140.66 +0.00%

Reuters and Kitco tied gold’s strength mainly to a weaker dollar and the drop in crude, which was framed as easing near-term inflation pressure. Multiple reports also emphasized that upcoming U.S. inflation data is the key swing factor for December Fed hike expectations and near-term direction.
