  • Gold price trades with modest losses for the second straight day on Wednesday, albeit lacking follow-through and remains well within striking distance of the all-time high touched in July.
  • A Hamas official said on Tuesday that the group had decided not to participate in the talks because its leaders do not think the Israeli government has been negotiating in good faith.
  • Iranian officials told Reuters that only a ceasefire deal in Gaza would hold Iran back from direct retaliation against Israel for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on its soil. 
  • The development increases the risk of a broader Middle East war and should act as a tailwind for the safe-haven metal amid bets for bigger interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. 
  • The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Tuesday that the Producer Price Index (PPI) for final demand rose by 2.2% on a yearly basis in July, down from 2.7% in the previous month.
  • On a monthly basis, the PPI increased 0.1%, while the core PPI (that excludes volatile food and energy components) missed estimates and remained flat during the reported month.
  • The softer data provided more evidence of cooling inflation and opened the door for the Fed to begin its policy-easing cycle, triggering a fresh leg down in the US Treasury bond yields.
