Friday’s United States Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, the US Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure, to 4.7% from 4.6% in January when compared to analysts' forecast of 4.3%. The headline PCE Price Index climbed to 5.4% on a yearly basis in January from 5.3% in December. Yet another encouraging US economic release helped strengthen expectations that the Fed interest rates will remain higher for longer, with three more 25 basis points (bps) rate hikes seen in the upcoming meetings this year.

The US Dollar caught a fresh bid wave alongside the US Treasury bond yields and smashed Gold price to seven-week lows at $1,809 on Friday. Hawkish Federal Reserve expectations tend to weigh negatively on the non-yielding Gold price.
