Gold prices turned down slightly at the beginning of the Asian session
XAU/USD's decline has continued and the precious metal is currently trading around $2,377 today morning.
After rising above the $2,400 threshold last Friday, gold prices have adjusted back down after tensions in the Middle East were contained and are currently trading around the $2,377 threshold. However, the upward momentum of precious metals is still being maintained as risk-off sentiment is still covering the financial market.
This week, the market's focus will be on PCE data - the Fed's favorite inflation measure, which will be published on April 26. If PCE inflation continues to be higher than expected, the USD will strengthen and limit gold's rise.
