Gold has broken a 7 day losing streak today on the back of US dollar weakness after a round of disappointing data from America.

The U.S. producer price index for October  hit the market unchanged, and below expectations for a figure of 0.3 percent which many believe shows that inflation is under control and the US Federal reserve may not have to move to aggressively on interest rates

Charalambos Pissouros, senior analyst at IronFX Global noted that even if the Fed raises rates in December the gold price could rally as it already priced into the market,

“That rate increase has been likely fully discounted by the gold market. This whole discussion now suggests that the December rate increase would be a ‘sell on the rumor, buy on the news’ event.”
