*GOLD*
Gold prices climbed nearly 0.90% to $1963.70, reacting to a drop in US Treasury yields after a softer-than-anticipated US inflation report.
October's CPI in the US eases to 3.2%, below expectations, leading to a significant decrease in the US 10-year note yield and a 1.50% fall in the Dollar Index.
Market focus shifts to upcoming US economic data, including PPI and Retail Sales, for further cues on the Federal Reserve's policy direction.
Gold price climbs close to 0.90% on Tuesday after hitting a daily low of $1938.84 due to a plunge in US Treasury bond yields courtesy of a softer inflation report in the United States (US). That weighed on the Greenback, which so far has lost more than 1.50% of its value against a basket of currencies, hence the jump in the price of yellow metal. The XAU/USD is trading at $1963.70.
