Gold price (XAU/USD) witnessed an intraday turnaround from the $1,885 region, or over a two-week high and settled near the lower end of its daily range on Thursday. Consumer prices in the United States (US) rose more than expected in September and lifted expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will keep interest rates higher for longer. This led to the sharp overnight rise in the US Treasury bond yields and triggered a massive US Dollar (USD) short-covering rally, which, in turn, was seen as a key factor exerting pressure on the precious metal.
