According to BlockBeats, investors are currently anticipating the release of the Producer Price Index (PPI) report at 21:30 UTC+8 tonight, followed by the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data on Wednesday. These reports are expected to provide further insights into the economic landscape and the Federal Reserve's policy direction for 2025. KCM Trade's Chief Market Analyst, Walter, noted that if this week's inflation data is weak, the U.S. dollar might face downward pressure, potentially boosting gold prices.
Traders generally believe that the Federal Reserve will not significantly ease monetary policy in 2025. Policymakers require new progress in slowing inflation to continue rate cuts, especially against the backdrop of a robust economy and labor market. However, such progress remains uncertain at this time.
