Gold prices edged lower at the start of the trading session, influenced by inflation concerns and diminishing hopes for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. Spot gold declined by 0.2%, to $4,644.51 per ounce. Antonio Di Giacomo, a senior market analyst at XS.com, stated via email, "Oil prices have surged more than 40%-50% since late February, intensifying global inflationary impacts." The senior market analyst added, "Furthermore, the Fed's messaging has been consistent: any interest rate reductions will be limited and gradual." The analyst also noted, "Consequently, gold is encountering a less favorable environment."
