  "account": "Gold experienced a surge of more than 1% on Monday, as softer oil prices helped to ease inflation worries. Investors were also eagerly awaiting key US inflation data and additional indications from the Federal Reserve regarding its policy outlook. Spot gold increased by 1.4% to reach $4,123.46 per ounce by 0428 GMT, while US gold futures for December delivery also climbed 1.4% to $4,132.70. Bullion had recently gained around 5% during the previous week.\n\nThe drop in oil prices was attributed to US President Donald Trump's assertion that he was highly unlikely to authorize further attacks on Iran. This came as talks aimed at resolving the conflict continued. The reduced oil prices helped to alleviate concerns about possible supply disruptions, thereby easing inflationary pressures. Consequently, investors were less likely to expect interest rates to remain higher for an extended period, which in turn diminished the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion.\n\nTim Waterer, the chief market analyst at KCM Trade, noted that Trump's more conciliatory tone toward Iran was contributing to the stabilization of oil prices, which in turn was easing some of the inflation pressure affecting the metal. The dollar also weakened, making gold priced in greenbacks more affordable for overseas buyers.\n\nIn the meantime, US job growth accelerated in October, and the unemployment rate dropped to 4.1%, reinforcing expectations that the labor market remained robust. This further supported the expectation that the Federal Reserve would likely increase interest rates in December, with traders now seeing an 81% chance of such a rate hike, up from 71% prior to the release of the payrolls data.\n\nMarket participants now await the US Consumer Price Index data, set for release on Tuesday, and the Producer Price Index, due on Friday, to gain further insight into the Fed's monetary policy stance. Waterer cautioned that any unexpected readings from these reports could strengthen the dollar and elevate the odds of a December rate increase, thus pushing gold back into a defensive position. Other metals, such as spot silver, platinum, and palladium, also experienced gains, with silver up 2.5% to $53.15 per ounce, platinum increasing by 1.3% to $1,553.23, and palladium rising 2.1% to $1,045.11.",
