Gold bias flipped 27 times to weak bullish on August 13, 2026
Gold climbed to two-month highs, approaching $4,400, as cooler-than-expected CPI inflation data dampened expectations of further rate hikes. The metal also drew support from a mix of unrelated forces, though a subsequent pullback was attributed to PPI data, leaving the market focused on inflation signals.
