However, markets showed restraint, with <strong>U.S. stock index futures slipping<\/strong>, after a U.S. appeals court ruled to <strong>keep Trump-era tariffs in place<\/strong>\u2014at least temporarily\u2014pending a decision on a lower court\u2019s earlier effort to block them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tuesday\u2019s ruling ensures that Trump\u2019s proposed <strong>\u201cliberation day\u201d tariffs<\/strong>, which include steep levies on key trade partners, remain intact as the July implementation deadline approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While news of the trade agreement between the U.S. and China initially lifted market sentiment, <strong>lack of detailed commitments<\/strong> and ongoing geopolitical risks muted enthusiasm. U.S. officials said the framework builds on a <strong>May de-escalation deal<\/strong> reached in Geneva and aims to address contentious issues, including <strong>China\u2019s rare earth exports<\/strong> and <strong>U.S. chip restrictions<\/strong>. Still, investors remain skeptical until more specifics emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gold Prices Stay Range-Bound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite recent gains, gold remains within a <strong>consolidation range<\/strong>, having struggled to retake record highs from earlier this year. Lingering uncertainties surrounding global trade and monetary policy continue to support bullion, albeit within a capped range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other Precious and Industrial Metals:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Platinum futures<\/strong> surged <strong>1.4%<\/strong> to <strong>$1,237.50\/oz<\/strong>, hovering near a four-year high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Silver futures<\/strong> added <strong>0.3%<\/strong> to <strong>$36.765\/oz<\/strong>, approaching levels not seen in over 13 years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Copper prices<\/strong> saw mild gains: <strong>London futures<\/strong> up <strong>0.2%<\/strong> to <strong>$9,770.03\/ton<\/strong>, while <strong>U.S. copper futures<\/strong> rose to <strong>$4.8970\/pound<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CPI Data in Focus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investor attention is now shifting toward the <strong>U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI)<\/strong> report, due later Wednesday. The data is expected to show <strong>persistent inflationary pressures<\/strong>, reflecting the <strong>ongoing impact of tariffs<\/strong> and broader supply chain dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>U.S. dollar firmed<\/strong> ahead of the release, as the data could reinforce expectations that the <strong>Federal Reserve may hold rates steady<\/strong> in the near term. A stronger dollar, however, is typically a headwind for commodity prices, including precious metals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Outlook:<\/strong><br>With the combination of tariff uncertainty, high inflation, and cautious central bank policy, gold is likely to remain sensitive to both macroeconomic data and geopolitical developments. A CPI print above expectations could temporarily dampen bullion gains, while weaker data may reignite interest in safe-haven assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold prices edged higher in Asian trading on Wednesday, buoyed by safe-haven demand after a U.S. court upheld President Donald Trump\u2019s trade tariffs, tempering market enthusiasm over recent progress in U.S.-China trade negotiations.
