From the bearish trend of the dollar and US bond yields. The US revealed last night (August 13) that the Producer Price Index (PPI) for July rose by 0.1% and 2.2% compared to the previous month. On a monthly and annual basis, respectively, indicating progress in the adjustment process. The decline in inflation in the US has led investors to believe that this increases the possibility of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates to 0.50% in September, which is a factor that is pressuring the dollar and US bond yields.

A further rate cut to 0.50% by the Fed is considered positive for gold prices.
