Gold inches up during the Asian morning session, driven by subdued U.S. inflation data that bolsters hopes of the Fed halting interest rate hikes. This movement aligns with gold's traditional inverse correlation with the U.S. dollar. Edward Moya, an analyst at Oanda, suggests a potential peak in the dollar's strength. Nevertheless, he indicates that a substantial rise in gold prices is improbable due to the prevalent investor sentiment favoring equities. Currently, spot gold records a modest 0.1% increase, reaching $1,914.75 per ounce.
