This dovish sentiment is supported by pockets of economic weakness, which may continue to lift gold prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Federal Reserve awaits further confirmation of cooling inflation<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent data highlights a moderation in the labor market and easing price pressures, prompting the Federal Reserve to seek further confirmation that inflation is cooling. The market focus now shifts to the weekly jobless claims data due on Thursday and the flash purchasing managers&#8217; indexes on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gold prices have entered a consolidation phase after hitting a record high of $2,449.89 on May 20.
