October 6, Fineko/abc.az. Gold prices edged lower on Tuesday under pressure from a firmer U.S. dollar and elevated Treasury yields. Spot gold declined 0.3% to $4,128.69 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures traded flat at $4,156.00.

However, losses were capped by cooling expectations of an October Fed rate hike following weaker U.S. employment and service sector reports. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets are currently pricing in an 87% chance of a rate increase in December. Geopolitical developments around the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait and persistent medium-term inflation signals continue to influence sentiment across precious metals (silver dropped to $60.67, platinum to $1,708.08).
