Gold prices extended gains on Wednesday, as the dollar dipped after U.S. core inflation data came in softer than expected, abating inflation pressures and rekindling expectations that the Federal Reserve's easing cycle may not be over yet.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) revealed that the Producer Price Index (PPI) increased but missed estimates for a higher print. This exacerbated Gold's jump as traders grew optimistic that if the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report on Wednesday comes cooler than foreseen, it could increase the Fed's chances of easing policy during the year.

Front-month gold futures surged to their largest gain in nearly a month, after U.S. core inflation data came in softer than expected, easing inflation pressures and renewing hopes that the Federal Reserve may implement multiple rate cuts this year after all.
