Gold bias flipped 34 times to neutral on August 11, 2026
Gold is being supported by expectations of U.S. rate cuts after weak jobs data, with prices holding above $4,300 and China reportedly buying dips. However, traders are cautious ahead of upcoming U.S. CPI data, which could reverse recent gains if it surprises to the upside.
