Will U.S Inflation Data Push Gold Prices Higher Or Lower?

November’s Consumer Price Inflation data will give the Fed evidence of how quickly inflation is progressing and whether a faster withdrawal of its monthly purchases would be warranted. That debate is expected to happen at the central bank’s next FOMC policymaking meeting on December 14-15.
Looking ahead, traders have now shifted their attention to Friday’s critical inflation reading for clues on the precious metals next big move. The reading is expected to show a gain of nearly 6.7%, which would be the largest year-over-year jump in consumer prices since the early 1990s.
