โก๏ธThis morning, the global gold price experienced a reversal, declining in response to the recent announcement from the US economy. The October Producer Price Index (PPI) reported a significant decrease, showing a 1.3% increase over the same period last year. This figure was notably lower than the anticipated 1.9%, and it marked a decline from the 2.2% increase observed in the previous month.
โก๏ธThe PPI index, a key metric reflecting changes in prices of goods sold by manufacturers, serves as a leading indicator for overall consumer price inflation. This suggests a forthcoming decrease in Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation in the United States. The effective implementation of the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy tightening is expected to persist.
โก๏ธEarlier, on November 14, the US disclosed that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for October exhibited a 3.2% increase compared to the same period last year. This represented a more significant decline from September's 3.7% increase and was slightly below the projected 3.3%. Notably, this marks the lowest level since March 2021.
