February 2024 gold market: Consolidation as hot data delays cuts

Range-bound

A tight range as hot inflation delayed rate-cut bets.

Gold held in a tight range around $2,030 in February 2024, dipping toward $1,990 after a hotter-than-expected US inflation report pushed back expectations for Fed rate cuts. Steady central-bank and Asian demand kept the pullbacks shallow.
