The concerns of watching depleting inflation pressure in US could dampen the interest rate outlook, after Apr US CPI has shown by the end of last week rising yearly by only 2.2%, while the median forecast was referring to increasing by 2.3% after rising in March by 2.4% year on year.
US 10-year Treasury note yield slipped 0.06% to 2.32% last Friday following the release of this figure which makes the Fed in no rush to raise the interest rate to contain the price upside pressure.
The FOMC has already weakened the odds of raising rates by highlighting the lower than expected US GDP annualized expansion in the first quarter by only 0.7% in its economic assessment following the committee members meeting on May. 3.
But The committee has suggested that lower than expected expansion can be transitory expecting upward revision of this dovish reading and also better growth rate later this year underpinned by the labor market continued improving which supports the inflation outlook to reach The Fed's 2% yearly target.
The gold could get use of the lower interest rate outlook in US and also could be boosted by North Korea missile test during the weekend.
