Gold prices remain steady above $4,700 per ounce as of May 14, despite ongoing concerns about U.S. inflation. The latest data indicates an acceleration in U.S. wholesale inflation for April, marking the fastest pace since 2022. This has led to expectations that interest rates may remain elevated for a longer period, impacting gold's appeal. Mitsubishi UFJ analyst Soojin Kim highlighted that rising U.S. Treasury yields, which are nearing their highest levels since July, are exerting downward pressure on gold, a non-yielding asset. The market's anticipation of sustained high interest rates continues to influence gold's performance.
