  "account": "Gold prices slipped over 0.44% on Tuesday as investors were preoccupied with the US-Iran conflict, rising oil prices, and anticipation of inflation data releases. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil climbed 1% to $92.10 per barrel following attacks in the Middle East. The Federal Reserve's focus on inflation data could lead to a change in short-term interest rates. The upcoming release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on September 4 and Core CPI on September 5 could prompt a rate increase by the Fed, causing gold prices to decline. The 10-year Treasury yield remains flat at 4.788%, while the US Dollar Index (DXY) is down 0.04% at 98.86. Gold has maintained its position as a safe-haven asset during turbulent times, with central banks accumulating large amounts of the metal, totaling 1,136 tonnes worth around $70 billion in 2022. Gold's inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries implies that a weaker Dollar could lead to higher gold prices. The markets are closely watching the upcoming economic data releases to determine the direction of gold prices.",
  "summary": "Gold (XAU/USD) registers losses of over 0.44% on Tuesday amid a light economic docket in the US, due to a narrative dominated by the US-Iran conflict, higher Oil prices and traders bracing for the release of US inflation reports, with the PPI expected on Thursday, followed by the next day’s CPI.",
