Reuters reported that Iran has asked Yemen\u2019s Houthi movement to be ready to close the Red Sea oil route if the US strikes Iranian power infrastructure, following a threat by US President Donald Trump earlier in the week. A disruption to Red Sea shipping, alongside risks tied to the Strait of Hormuz, could lift crude prices and keep central banks inclined to maintain restrictive policy, reducing the appeal of a non-yielding asset such as gold.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Geopolitical Tensions and Inflation Concerns<\/h3>\n\n<p>The geopolitical backdrop has outweighed recent disinflation signals in the US. June Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation slowed, while the Producer Price Index (PPI) also declined, according to data released this week. Even so, markets are pricing nearly a 55% probability of a Federal Reserve rate increase in September, based on the CME FedWatch Tool. Separately, World Gold Council data show central banks added 1,136 tonnes of gold worth about $70 billion to reserves in 2022, the highest annual purchase on record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Start trading now \u2014 click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-asia\/trade-now\/>here<\/a> to create your real VT Markets account.<\/b>\n\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold slid near an eight-month low as Middle East tensions boosted inflation fears, keeping US rates higher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":87,"featured_media":53417,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-live-updates"],"acf":{"acf_article_selection_author":null},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 4.9.10 -
