Gold prices rebounded on Thursday<\/strong>, snapping a two-day losing streak as renewed U.S.\u2013China trade tensions<\/strong> and fresh Western sanctions on Russia<\/strong> revived safe-haven appetite ahead of key U.S. inflation data<\/strong> later this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By 06:15 GMT<\/strong>, spot gold<\/strong> rose 0.9% to $4,137.40 per ounce<\/strong>, while U.S. gold futures<\/strong> climbed 2% to $4,144.89<\/strong>, recovering part of the steep 5% drop<\/strong> recorded earlier in the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After a sharp sell-off driven by profit-taking and optimism over easing U.S.\u2013China trade frictions, gold found renewed support following reports that Washington<\/strong> was considering restricting software-powered exports to China<\/strong>. The proposed measures, which include high-tech goods such as laptops and jet engines<\/strong>, were said to be a response to Beijing\u2019s rare earth export restrictions<\/strong>, heightening fears of a deeper trade standoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The news revived safe-haven demand, helping bullion retrace part of its losses from earlier in the week, when it briefly touched a two-week low of $4,003.39\/oz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adding to the risk-off sentiment, the U.S.<\/strong> imposed its first Ukraine-related sanctions<\/strong> of the term, targeting Russia\u2019s oil majors Rosneft and Lukoil<\/strong>, while the European Union<\/strong> approved its 19th sanctions package<\/strong>. The EU\u2019s measures included a ban on Russian LNG imports<\/strong> and blacklisting of additional tankers from Moscow\u2019s so-called shadow fleet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These developments underscored persistent global geopolitical risks, bolstering gold\u2019s traditional role as a hedge against uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Investors are now focused on the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI)<\/strong> report for September, delayed until Friday<\/strong> due to the ongoing government shutdown<\/strong>. The data is expected to offer fresh clues on the Federal Reserve\u2019s next policy move<\/strong> ahead of its meeting next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Market expectations remain tilted toward another rate cut<\/strong> this month and potentially a second reduction later in the year \u2014 a scenario generally supportive of non-yielding assets like gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The recovery extended to other precious and industrial metals. Silver futures<\/strong> jumped 2% to $48.63\/oz<\/strong>, leading gains across the metals complex, while platinum<\/strong> rose 1% to $1,593.60\/oz<\/strong>. Overall, traders remain cautious, balancing geopolitical risks and monetary policy expectations, but Thursday\u2019s rebound signaled renewed investor interest in gold as a key hedge amid lingering global uncertainty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Gold prices rebounded on Thursday, snapping a two-day losing streak as renewed U.S.\u2013China trade tensions and fresh Western sanctions on Russia revived safe-haven appetite ahead of key U.S. inflation data later this week.
