Gold prices are trading in today’s Asian session below 2330 levels.
The price of gold finds it challenging to build upon the slight gains from the previous day and instead fluctuates within a narrow range during the Asian session on Friday, amidst mixed signals from fundamental factors.
The release of the US GDP report on Thursday revealed a notable slowdown in growth momentum at the beginning of 2024, coupled with an unwelcome uptick in inflation.
This, combined with the relatively subdued performance of the US Dollar, provides support for the precious metal, which is often sought as a hedge against inflation.
Nonetheless, the potential for upward movement is limited due to expectations of a hawkish stance from the Federal Reserve (Fed).
