Unexpectedly mild inflation triggered profit-taking, causing gold prices to fall below $4,350, but the bullish structure remains intact.

Gold prices weakened slightly during the Asian session, mainly due to profit-taking by short-term investors, but downside potential remained limited. Cooling US inflation data reinforced market expectations for further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, continuing to support gold's long-term investment value.

Gold prices retreated after the US Consumer Price Index unexpectedly weakened.

The surge in gold prices in recent years has been partly due to high inflation eroding the value of fiat currencies. Now, with inflation falling much faster than expected, gold's appeal as an inflation hedge has diminished. Therefore, a pullback in gold prices (especially a rapid decline after the initial surge) following the release of the Consumer Price Index report is understandable. However, it is premature to conclude that gold prices have peaked.

Silver prices encountered resistance below $66.90, but received strong support due to significantly lower-than-expected US November CPI data. The market reacted immediately, pushing silver prices up to around $66.37. The US November overall CPI rose 2.7% year-on-year (expected 3.1%), while core CPI rose 2.6% year-on-year (expected 3.0%). Although the data was incomplete due to the government shutdown, the confirmation of inflation in the "2%" range significantly strengthened expectations of a Fed rate cut in 2026.

Gold prices retreated slightly after hitting a seven-week high, influenced in the short term by a rebounding dollar and profit-taking.
