Trends in Precious Metals
Despite a favorable US PCE report and a drop in consumer spending, gold rose marginally on hopes of a rally next week. The data showed that the personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price index rose 0.3% in April, while in the 12 months to March, PCE inflation rose 2.7% as expected. In such a situation, the possibility of the Fed reducing interest rates has increased. As a result, gold and silver may see a rise.
