Gold prices saw a significant decline as traders reacted to unexpectedly strong U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) data. The hotter-than-expected inflation figures bolstered expectations of a more hawkish Federal Reserve, prompting investors to offload gold holdings in favor of safer cash positions. Spot gold dropped nearly 1%, falling below the key $1,900 per ounce level.

The U.S. PPI for November rose 0.5%, exceeding forecasts and signaling persistent inflationary pressures. This data, combined with resilient consumer spending figures, reignited fears of prolonged monetary tightening. Higher interest rates often undermine gold’s appeal by increasing the opportunity cost of holding the non-yielding asset.

Investor sentiment shifted quickly, with trading volumes spiking as speculators sought to lock in profits. Safe-haven assets such as gold tend to lose favor during periods of rising interest rate expectations, with U.S. Treasury yields offering more attractive returns. The benchmark 10-year yield climbed above 4.6%, further weighing on gold.

Analysts now warn that the yellow metal could face additional pressure in the near term. Market participants are closely watching upcoming Federal Reserve statements and economic data for clearer signals on the central bank’s policy trajectory.
