Gold bias flipped 61 times to weak bullish on August 12, 2026
Gold slipped at the open but was supported by Chinese dip-buying, while a cooler CPI report and soft jobs data helped lift prices to a two-month high. The metal's rally comes as markets await further US inflation data this week, with several unrelated forces reportedly moving gold higher.
