Gold price snapped its previous rebound and fell hard on Thursday after traders began to dial down bets for a June Fed interest rate cut following a hotter-than-expected Producer Price Index (PPI) inflation report.
Data showed on Thursday that the PPI for February rose 0.6% MoM, up sharply from 0.3% in January while beating the market estimate of 0.3%. The reading was the highest rate since August 2023. PPI increased at an annual rate of 1.6%, up from a revised 0.9% in January.
